Fabulous 6 hours spent with Roula as our guide on an individualized tour of Corfu. She met our group of 4 at the cruise terminal and spent a few minutes discussing options. We prefer outdoor activies and seeing the countryside. We are interested in the history but not in visiting museums and the like. She quickly pivoted and provided additional options for the tour that included more outdoor time and scenery viewing. We visited Palaiokastritsa where we walked around a monastery and caught a view of the beautiful coast line, took a boat tour to the caves and had lunch by the water. We ventured on to the Theotoky Winery for wine and olive oil tastings and a brief tour, followed by a tour of Corfu town. Roula knows the island and history very well and arranged each stop quickly as we decided what we wanted to do. The options were endless and she was quick to narrow it down to a few choices as she got to know how we wanted to spend our day. She sat in the back of the van with us and shared the fascinating history of the island as we moved from one location to the next. The tour couldn't have been better. Perfect day and fantastic guide. The tour company was also very responsive when I reached out to ask where to meet. They provided detailed information and we had no trouble finding Roula as we came through the cruise terminal. Highly recommend this tour as you will not be disappointed, especially if you are lucky enough to have Roula as your guide.

We had an absolutely delightful experience on this east‑coast Corfu boat trip. The meeting point was at Gouvia Marina, which was very convenient to reach by car, and avoid the traffic to the city centre, as our accomodation was nearby. From the moment we stepped on board, the skipper and sailor made us feel welcome with their friendliness and genuine enthusiasm for the island. They shared fascinating curiosities about the places we passed, pointed out scenic hotspots along the coast, and offered great tips for exploring Corfu beyond the tour. Everything was clearly explained from the start (how the boat worked, where we’d be stopping, and what to expect) which made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. The atmosphere on board was lovely, with good music, a calm vibe, and a small group that made the trip feel personal rather than crowded. Light snacks were offered mid-trip: sandwiches, seasonal fresh fruit, and soft drinks. They even asked about vegetarian preferences, which was a thoughtful touch, and there were alcoholic drinks available for an extra fee. Even though the trip lasted five hours, it never felt long — time flew by thanks to the perfect mix of fun, scenery, and relaxation. My husband and I left feeling refreshed and happy, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Corfu.

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!

The tour with Faye was fantastic. The boat tour was definitely the highlight, although the town center near the fort was a great spot for outdoor dining. Faye was a very informative and professional guide. There were approximately 30 passengers on this 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.

This was a great private tour that avoided big crowds and made our trip to Paleokastritsa and Glyfada beaches very enjoyable. It was well organized from the beginning with the tour operator messaging me with clear instructions on where to meet our driver and what to expect for the day. She pre booked sun beds for us at Glyfada beach and arranged for a boat trip to tour the caves in Paleokastritsa. Everything went very smoothly. Our driver took us to each beach and made sure we knew where to go to get on the boat tour for the caves and where to go to get our sunbeds on the beach. He was very attentive to us to ensure we had a great time! I highly recommend this tour! Both beaches are very beautiful and it was a great experience.
