CORSICA AVENTURE, Ajaccio

TO AVOID : GUIDE COUNTING HER WALKING HOURS ! Do not believe the dithyrambic comments about this travel agency ! I had a very bad experience with them. I booked a private trek with guide for 2 on GR20 North. After 2 days the guide forced us to abandon the trek pretending that I was walking too slow and telling that she did not want to walk more than 8 hours a day (like a civil servant behind a desk !!!) although I was in good shape to do the trek. Although I was very polite she even was insulting. First time I experienced this attitude with a guide : I did all the treks of the eightthousanders base camps in Himalaya as well as the Snowman trek in Bhutan considered the most difficult in the world and many treks in the Andes and Africa and absolutely never encountered a guide who "counted" his hours like that. The financial compensation I received, after insisting !, from Corsica Aventure for all this trouble was far from being fair. So I advise to avoid this travel agency (and possibly others : one of my friends had also a very bad experience with a guide !). My advise is to do GR20 without going thru a travel agency (booking berths or tents at the 'refuges' is possible well in advance). I did GR20 South a few years ago that way solo on my rythm and it was ok.
