Great tour! Very informative and great food stops! Philip is a wonderful guide! We tasted a lot of great food in Corsica!
Audry was very informaive We especially liked the fact tht all the foods we tasted, even the ice cream, was Corsican sourced.
Leisurely walking tour around Ajaccio with stops for tasty treats. Audrey provided us an intimate view of the city. She was very knowledgeable.
We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide in Anouk. She gave us a wonderful taste of different foods in Ajaccio. From lovely charcuterie to tapenade to fantastic apple tart. Fresh and delicious.
Lots of terrific local food, some great chat, friendly people, learned loads about Corsican produce and cuisine.

We had a great experience on the No Diet Club food tour of Ajaccio on July 9th 2025. We never usually write reviews because it doesn't come naturally but we couldn't allow the previous comment by the user Sylvi to go unanswered as it a wrong and EXTREMELY misleading recount of how the tour unfolded. Given I arrived first at the tour and correctly followed the instructions to the meeting point, I was welcomed by our fantastic guide in the first spot where we awaited the arrival of the others. Both my girlfriend and another participant were struggling to find parking, and therefore the guide and I assumed that the other participants were also running late due to similar issues. The guide had also created a WhatsApp group for easy contact, but the participants only thought to utilise this about 25 minutes later. After the contact was made, the guide made her best attempts to improve the participants' mood, but clearly the food and culture was not to their liking throughout the day as they consistently left the dishes uneaten, refused to enter cultural locations, and overall maintained a bad mood throughout the day. Naturally, the guide made every effort to introduce the group to the Corsican culture by way of its cuisine, but Sylvi and her friend were unfazed and declined to engage in conversation or to contribute towards a general, convivial ambiance during the tour. Both my girlfriend and I, as well as other participants, had a fantastic time on the tour. I'm English, and I had absolutely no issues in communicating with the guide throughout the day. This tour is best suited to polite individuals who are willing to learn about a culture and its history via food, not to those who would look down their noses and write spiteful, inaccurate reviews online to damage someone's livelihood. Five stars - I hope you also get to enjoy this tour!
Do not waste your money on this! On July 9, 2025, we wasted €118 on this complete rip-off! 1. We were given instructions to meet at 1 Rue Général Campi. The street had no visible street numbers, so we stood waiting at the corner. There was another group of people also waiting in the same location. We were told to be there by 10.55 (the tour was supposed to start at 11.00), or risk losing our spot. No guide showed up, so at 11.10 I tried calling the company responsible, No Diet Club. I only got an answering machine. We had booked through GetYourGuide, so then I reached out to their customer service. They were very helpful, and tried contacting No Diet Club, but were equally unsuccessful. At this point the time was 11.20, and we were on the verge of requesting the offered refund from GetYourGuide. But it turned out that the lady who had been sitting chatting at some outdoor tables 20 metres away had now decided that maybe she should do some work, so she made herself known as the guide. Bear in mind that for the best part of half an hour she had been looking straight at a group of unmistakable tourists who were clearly waiting for someone on a street where there were no sightseeing opportunities. She offered no apology, and just kept asking “What’s the problem?” when I pointed out that we had paid for a three-hour tour that should have started - by now - 25 minutes ago. Our frustration increased even more when we were told that we would have to wait even longer to start because two people hadn’t yet turned up. What happened to “be there at 10.55”? Apparently it was okay for two people to hold up everybody else. 2. The guide had clearly not prepared to do any guiding, as the information we were given consisted of anecdotes and some stories from her childhood. I cannot give you her name, because she never introduced herself. Nor did she explain the structure or content of the tour. 3. We had booked this tour because we wanted to learn something about Corsican food culture, and - crucially - it was the only one we could find that boasted an English-speaking guide. I use the word “boasted” advisedly, as the guide’s English was extremely poor. 4. If, after reading all this, you’re still considering booking this tour, I strongly advise you to eat beforehand. The sum total of the offerings was: 6 slices of ham/sausage; one small bottle of water; 2 small pieces of pie; 2 small pieces of baguette with tapenade; 2 pieces of cheese with 2 tiny pieces of baguette; half a small cheesecake (intended for one person). We were offered coffee and a scoop of icecream, but due to the late start we were long past the stated end time of the tour at this point, and had to leave to catch our ferry. In addition we walked through the food market, where we were told to eat the free samples offered by the vendors. At three of the four stops we were also strongly encouraged to buy drinks. So for €59 per person you get an incompetent guide and some snacks that would add up to maybe €20, in addition to the freebies at the market.
