I little confusing with the pick up location but otherwise, everything was great esp. our guide Christina and our driver
Phillipos was a wonderful tour guide. Our group of 14 people ranging from 7- adults all had a great day with him..
Amazing experience! Our guide was so nice and knew a lot about Corfu, he stayed with us from the moment our cruise docked, and made a trip for us that satisfied all our needs and wants. And he also got us back to our boat before it left.
After a slight mix up of our meeting place, we began a spectacular tour of Corfu. Our tour guide Nico was a true gentlemen with a dynamic personality. He had a wonderful flair for expressing and sharing his love for Corfu. He took us to beautiful viewing sites where we able to photograph the spectacular natural beauty of Corfu which included historical churches impressive overlooks and a tour of Corfu Town, He recommended local food and drink which we enjoyed sampling. I'd highly recommended this tour as it exceeded our expectations.
The site is interesting, but very poorly maintained (sad), the explanations are many, but we never found the number one and we have no more indications... Many rooms are unfortunately closed on the first floor, some ceilings are superb the gardens are very nice...
Outstanding place on a small hill with fantastic view over the nearby villages and ocean. Great park to stroll and inside interesting documents of that time.
<p>Markos met us right at the cruise terminal and took us on a great adventure! He was always willing to answer questions and even recommended a couple of activities for exploring the caves at the beach that we Loved. I'm so glad we booked this - none of the excursions our cruise offered came close.</p>
<p>Our tour guide provided us with excellent service.</p>
<p>We enjoyed the tour a lot! Marcos is very nice and was very attentive to any needs or special requests. We wanted to try some Greek food, so he stopped along the way to help us order some gyros. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time on the tour.</p>
