Top Corfu Shore Excursions - page 5

We fell in love with Corfu on this tour. We had an absolutely wonderful guide, Lou Lou. She was a doll. I was traveling with my 84-year-old father who is not the fastest most agile and her patience was amazing. Her knowledge of the area and the places she chose to show us were 100% top-notch..

Aside from the long, winding drive.... The scenery is incredible and beautiful. Plus, supporting a local olive oil producer when so many groves are abandoned. Andreana was a bit soft spoken but very knowledgeable. We learned the old ways and saw the new machinery. The facility is very pristine and welcoming. The tasting room is community benches and they serve after a little historical video presentation. You not only try the two types of olive oil but you also try some foods with the oils. And of course, do a little shopping. The staff and drivers are very proud of their products. Everyone was wonderful to talk to and ask questions. Our driver took us to the oldest tree and castle ruins in the area and braved the traffic back to port. I am very grateful for this experience. I hope more will support small farms like this one.

This is a great way to see Corfu without renting a car. When you add in Leo’s knowledge of the island, it is the perfect tour. In our case, it was a rainy and windy day, so it really was the best tour. Leo took us to Vlacherna Monastery, Virgin Mary Monastery and Olive oil tasting and museum. I have driven in Italy and Africa, and I was very happy to have Leo do the driving on the high, curvy roads. The Olive oil museum was a lot more interesting than I expected and the oil was exceptional. Leo was very easy to contact as I switched pick up locations and he was very willing to make accommodations. We took his tour to Albania the next day and Leo made a special trip to pick us up before another tour that he had. Leo took us directly to the ship, made sure the tour guide for that trip knew who we were and told us how to get back to our airbnb via some cool shortcuts after the trip. The small group tour was well worth it for the sights and the history. However, Leo’s attention and kindness was way more than we expected. I cannot say enough about Leo and his agency. If he is in charge, your trip will be fantastic!

We were very excited for this tour! Unfortunately, it rained most of the tour, but our driver and tour guide were both awesome! Magda was great and she taught us so much about the city. We even got the olive oil she recommended. I loved how she walked us around to each site and gave the history. Since the monastery was closed, she took us to the one downtown. We were able to walk around to look for souvenirs and snacks before heading back to port. Great tour!

A very nice day in Corfu. Everything was organized and crisp, and our tour guide Vasia (sp) did a great job of providing a commentary as we drove about the area. She was very clear about where we were going, what we were going to do, when to meet back up, and what our options were (ex. if you don't want to go on the boat trip, you can go swimming or hand out on the beach). The boat trip to see the caves was fun - the water in Corfu is beautiful around the coastal area. I strongly suggest spending the 15 euros per person and going on the boat. Old Town Corfu is beautiful - one of the prettiest ones we saw on our cruise of the Greek islands. In summary: a very nice day on a well-orchestrated tour of Corfu.

Today’s tour of Corfu was perfect - our tour guide was fantastic - the tour company gave me clear directions as to how to find them on the pier and even called at the meeting time to make sure I knew where I was going - the tour was complete and we saw all of the highlights of Corfu - highly recommend !

Our tour guide Fay was excellent she was very knowledgeable, fluent in English and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this tour especially with her as a guide. The only disappointing part, which has nothing to do with the tour operator, is that some of the other tourist on our tour could not follow simple instructions from the meeting point, let alone the time allocated at each stop which in turn caused delays getting to the next spot. Fay being so accommodating and kind hearted allowed it. Unfortunately this meant our time in Corfu town was cut very short. Once in Corfu town she stated that the bus will be leaving at 2.00pm with or without you and it was amazing how those same tourist managed to get back in time. Like I previously stated I would definitely recommend this tour with Fay as a guide.

Fanis was our driver. He was so kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and gave us the perfect tour of the highlights of Corfu! We stopped at the best beach with mountains all around, boat ride to the caves (highly recommend for best views), stopped at a tasting of alcohol, olive oil, honey, nuts and so much more! We snuck in Mouse Island and saw a plane fly overhead and ended in Old Town Corfu where we are local cuisine (Fanis recommendation) and shopped. Pick up and drop off from cruise port! All around one of best excursions!!! Also super safe country.
