Photini was a great guide, who knows her stuff and loves the island so much you can feel it. The tour through the coastline and through old town Corfu is burned in my memory forever! Also the view of mouse island is incredible, and you can see planes fly in!

Magda was a great tour guide- she showed us the best local spots to get the most out of our time in Corfu. This was a great mix of beach and old town to see as much as we could on our stop in town from the cruise ship

Faye our Tour Guide was exceptional. Very knowledgeable about the History of the area
We came away more clarity of the how the different Countries and Empires ruled the Area

The small boat experience was disappointing as you don't really see anything except the outside of the cave.
Really needed more time in old town or at least the time to take photos of the fortress.
Use of time not the best.
Our tour guide was fabulous and very accommodating.

Thank you for your kind words about our guide. Regarding the boat trip, please note that it’s an optional activity provided by a third party. Guests are free to join it or simply relax and enjoy the beach instead. Safe travels!

If you do not mind winding roads , this tour is excellent. Our tour guide showed us many must see sites throughout Montenegro and the lunch was delicious. Everyone was beyond friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Corfu was breathtaking. You could go swimming which did not entice me because of rocky beach or take a boat ride after the bus ride and view the caves. Thats nice. Our guide Stella was very informative and kind.
The views are great. Relaxing!

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.

Corfu is gorgeous. we stopped at a beach area where you could hang out there or shop or grab lunch or go on a boat ride. then we stopped near the cool airport & took pics from way above. beautiful views & yummy treats available.

The boat tour of the caves was beautiful. I enjoyed the architecture mixture from Corfu's history. Loved the old Walled city...a tour of it should have been included.

Alice was a fantastic tour guide! Very informative and friendly! Great stops ! Lasting memories! Highly recommended…

Traveling with wind star cruises, and wanted to see the beaches on this island. Perhaps I picked the wrong tour because time at the beautiful beach was less than one hour and much more time spent in the mini van with a very cordial and informative guide. The last stop was in old town, Corfu, which is beautiful, but also a free transit from the cruise pier. Be sure what you’re looking for and book accordingly.
Response from Host, May 2025
With over 20 years of experience in shore excursions, I’ve learned that meeting the expectations of Windstar cruise passengers can be particularly challenging. When booking a €100 group excursion, by unknown reason they expect a private or fully customizable tour.
To clarify, this is not a beach tour. The itinerary includes one hour at Paleokastritsa Beach, which accounts for those who opted to stay on the beach while others took part in the 45-minute boat ride. The remaining 15 minutes were used for walking to and from the pier.
When booking with Viator, we strongly recommend that guests base their expectations on the actual tour description and itinerary, rather than personal assumptions.
Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels

Fay is an excellent tour guide. She is knowlegable and very patient. We would strongly recommend her for anyone wishing to visit Corfu
Jennifer_S, Jul 2024
The beach stop was our favorite. Would’ve stayed there longer if we could.
Our tour guide was very informative and accommodating.
DeanW_C, Jun 2024
What an incredible tour! We loved Fay! She did an awesome job! And our boat ride was incredible! A perfect tour!

Nothing much memorable, no time for restrooms and to seaside at the same time. Bus air-conditioning did not work and they switched buses after we had to wait for a new bus. Not we got French toast, but it was nasty. Landing on us in the back of the bus. The tour leader was nice and tried to be very helpful, not her fault. The boat ride, which was not part of the excursion was €15 and it was not worth that at all got on the boat and off the boat and had to get right on the bus no time to look around.
Response from Host, May 2024
It's always surprising when rare visitors, after exploring one of Greece's most stunning islands, claim there's nothing memorable about it. We believe love is in the eye of the beholder, and it's unfortunate for those who are "blind" to the island's remarkable beauty. Regarding the concerns raised:
1) We apologize for the air conditioning issue on the bus to Paleokastritsa. Even modern German buses can encounter technical difficulties occasionally. However, you weren't inconvenienced by the wait; the replacement bus was arranged in just 17 minutes while you were on your boat ride. We hope our prompt response demonstrates our commitment to professionalism.
2)We acknowledged the inconvenience caused by the brief A/C problem and extended your tour by an hour as compensation for the discomfort.
3)It’s regrettable that the boat ride in an area many describe as heaven on earth did not meet your expectations.
4)Four restroom stops were provided during the first three and half hour of the tour. Then during the leisure portion of the tour in Corfu, numerous additional facilities were available. If this frequency was insufficient, we might suggest considering a private tour for your future travels.
Safe travels!
