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.

Private Corfu Tour

Odesseus was well informed and articulate. He gave us an overview of the region and was very flexible and accommodating. Enjoyable and stress free day with Odesseus.

A great day in Corfu!

Had a brilliant day with Alexandra. She was an excellent driver and also gave us a lot of knowledge about the island. The two beaches were beautiful and I would definitely recommend the boat tour . It was great to see some of the beautiful inland villages en route too.

Ian_W, Jul 2025

Alex was amazing! As advertised. Saw everything on the itinerary and more! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great way to see Corfu in a small amount of time!

Kristinrahlfs, Jul 2025

We had a fabulous day in Corfu! Alexandra was a wonderful guide and taught us a lot about the area as she transported us. She gave us the ability to customize our half day tour, which was appreciated. The car was very nice and we were comfortable. This was a great way to maximize our day in Corfu as cruise ship passengers and see two very different beaches. We would have loved to spend more time at the second beach, but we will know for next time.

Beaches of Corfu

Kendra_F, Jun 2025

Having a private vehicle and driver in Corfu was wonderful! We were able to see two beautiful Greek beaches ( Paleokastritsa and Glyfada ) and spend exactly the amount of time we wanted on each one. We also were able to see the interior without the worry of navigating the winding narrow roads of the island. Perfect!

Fabulous experience

Kristina_R, May 2025

Absolutely incredible time thanks to Mihai. If you are traveling with a family and a young child, this is the best way to experience Corfu. The car was comfortable and equipped with a car seat/booster seat, Mihai was a great driver and knowledgeable about the history of Corfu. This tour was a highlight!

Exceptional service was provided to our group of 10. If you want to have a positive experience in a top notch vehicle with a knowledgeable, respectful, well mannered professional book now and you won't have any regrets. We look forward to future adventures with this company and in the meantime recommending everyone we know to them. Thank you very much Mikael for everything you did to make our excursion enjoyable. Sincerely Deborah Finley

Highly recommend

Hilary_B, Aug 2024

This was a really great tour. Our guide Andreas was really flexible and helpful, making suggestions for what the best things to see and do were. Paleokastritsa was beautiful and we enjoyed the beach and view from the monastery. It was also really nice to have the private tour with a nice comfortable car and not to have to worry about traffic or where to park etc

Flexible and friendly

Andres_R, Aug 2024

Alessandra was our tour guide, and even the tour was Just transportation from Port to beach, and then to the other beach. She was awesome with flexibility and sharing information of the island. I recommend the tour eyes closed. She was.on time at the pickup point, and the transportation vehicle was sharp and clean

Worthwhile Experience

Brandon_N, Jul 2024

Our tour guide Marco did a fantastic job showing us around the island. He tailored our journey around whatever we wanted to see, and made sure to make stops for plenty of photos and great eats.

Fabulous day! Great service!

Amazing time despite choppy waters

Liana_V, Oct 2023

Great time! Wanted to do a group excursion for 11 when our cruise docked in Corfu and we all highly recommend. This sprinter van was beautiful and comfortably sat 11. Since the waves were very choppy, we were given various options instead of the 2 beaches, so we saw a monastery, did a drive by past Paleokastritsa, a very tasty olive oil museum (which we all bought sometime at), Glyfada beach and then was dropped off downtown. 10/10 would recommend!

Corfu Driver

Kevin_M, Oct 2023

Driver Connie was very nice. English was at times challenging, he was not a tour guide, just a driver. Took us to few places we wanted to see. Being my first time here, I would recommend a guide.

Thumbs up 👍

Brack_T, Oct 2023

Our driver met us promptly outside our cruise ship, took us to two different beaches, and was even flexible when some people wanted to be dropped off in town, while others returned to the ship. Overall, we received exactly what we had asked for.

Fantastic Day

Lauren_D, Jun 2023

Fantastic day. Andrés was informative and gave us great ideas. We packed in a boat trip, monastery, beach and authentic gyro. Highly recommend. We had 4 adults and 2 kids ages 11 and 8.

A relaxing day.

MaryJo_G, Jun 2023

This tour was relaxing and enjoyable. We werr on a cruise and didn't have much time, so we opted to spend all our time at Paleokastritsa, instead of spending the time driving to another location. There are two beaches, on opposite sides of tbe road. We spent time at the one that offered beach chairs, as the beach itself is not sandy. The driver took me to the Monastery (and waited) while the others in my group spent time at the beach. The Monastery is beautiful, and I recommend taking some time to view its grounds.

Great personalized beach transfers and friendly driver

Crystal_H, Jul 2022

We were picked up and stopped off right from the cruise port. Our driver Jon (not sure of the spelling) was waiting for us and very kind to give us insight about the island during our time in the car. He took photos of our family and modified the time at each stop to suit our needs. Our family absolutely loved our time and tour in Corfu.
