Great boat ride, not included
We took a 20 minute boat tour that was optional. The boat tour, $10, made this excursion well with it. We could have done without the town though.

A great day in Corfu!
Our guide, Hercules, was very personable and well-informed. We visited a number of areas all with incredibly beautiful views. He took time for photo stops, took us to an amazing ice cream stop in Lacontes, an olive oil museum with tastings and we finished up with a stop in Corfu where we had authentic Gyros. He was professional, a great driver and a great representative of Corfu.

Nice tour in Corfu
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.

Private driver on Corfu
The self guided monastery tour was the perfect little taste of history, religion, and culture. Then we were on to Glyfada. The beach was amazing. Plenty of chairs (only one ship in port), clean and felt perfectly safe. Nice restaurant and bar with bathrooms close by. Our driver was wonderful. Courteous and knowledgeable, and fun & easy to talk with.

Best Day in Corfu is this !
My family and I loved this tour. Pick up was right beside our ship in port. We loved visiting the monistary. Just incredible. The beach time was so good. My kids loved the beach and the raft rides. The beach bar was delicious and affordable with clean bathroom. We loved this beach so much we asked for extra time to enjoy it. I loved how accommodating they were for us.

Delightful Day
I was pretty handicapped due to an injury but things were adjusted for us to make things easier. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Corfu and the opportunity for me to see as much as I could and learn about the area.
