Can anyone recommend any tours for Ajaccio, Corsica

  You didn't give many clues.

 

Tours to where or to do what?(sailing, kyaking, snorkling or something else?) 

[Shone216]

Sorry should’ve been more clear, private tours or things we could do ourselves. Never visited that area before so not so what’s best to do. We’re not into sailing, kayaking etc

There have been threads on Ajaccio and Corsica before, at least one which was very recent, others were older. To save back scrolling, you could instead use the search facilty.

 

The search facility is very easy to use. Go to  (this) France forum , but not to your own thread.   Log in, and just below your user name, you will see the empty search box.  Input the word  Ajaccio or Corsica (or both at different times), tick "on this forum" from the drop down underneath the box, then hit the little magnifying glass.  All previous threads containing that word will appear in the results and you can read them at leisure.  Obviously you only enter one of your ports at a time.

 

Works the same way for ports in other countries too. Simply go to the correct forum for the country your port is in, then do as above.

 

There is also lots of online info for Ajaccio. You only need to look for it. Try Tripadvisor Ajaccio, the local tourist info  website and anything else which comes up when you internet search something along the lines of" Ajaccio Tourist Info". or even only "Ajaccio" Our ship docked in town, so very easy to DIY here. And just looking at the shorex being offered can also give info about what there is to see and do even if you don't want to actually buy a shorex..

 

Only now noticed that I had had a senior moment with spelling in my first post.

 

 kyaking, snorkling should of course have read

 

KAYAKING, SNORKELING.

This leaves from close to the dock. Either a short or a longer tour possible. https://www.ajaccio-tourisme.com/en/visites-loisirs/petit-train-dajaccio/

Yes and yes.  We were just docked in Ajaccio (last month) and they have actually improved their docking facilities which should be able to easily handle two cruise ships.  The entire city (especially the prime tourist areas) are well within walking distance.  There are also quite a few cafes/restaurants located only a stones throw from the pier.  I can state, with no reservations, that the moules et frites in one of those places was quite good :).
