A very nice discovery with a top guide ! We feel like the guests of this family two centuries ago. Amazing
We were guided round by Lydia in this beautiful house, seeing how people lived was great and we even got a drink of Rose liquor.
We were welcomed by Eleni who introduced us to the life of Corfiote boigeoisie at the end of the 19th century. Very interesting. Nice things to see.
My wife and I toured the house on Thursday, June 19. Our guide was Natalie who was excellent, friendly, and well informed about the house. I appreciated that the tour offered not only a look at the rooms but also the tastes of the era with candy and drink that was used by the family who used the house. I only found the animatronic figures and the statues strange. (The mom in the rocking chair by the window definitely gave off vibes from the movie Psycho.) But, aside from that, it's worth a visit if you are interested in aristocratic life in Corfu from the 19th century.
Was an informative and interesting tour! Took about 30min, our tour guide Jenny did an excellent job - give the girl a raise!:) We paid 24€ for two people, is very good as a small activity in between. Definitely recommended 🤠
The historical info was interesting, and the tour guides were excellent. We were expecting something a little more multi-sensory, because we had seen something similar in the UK using sounds and smells. They did not have that here, but it was a good historical tour.
A precise and very beautiful time travel. Our Guide Lia was very good and gentle in following us during the walk. Great way to introduce the little ones to uses and customs of other times
The talking casa is really to discover, very authentic and the welcome is perfect and Francophone! The hostesses are adorable, very smiling and pleasant. Visits in French are organized.
A really informative tour. Guide was lovely . Small tour groups too which we loved. Got a small treat at the beginning and a shot which was definitely something!
It’s about 45min. of your time but really shows the history of the aristocrats on Corfu. The welcoming was nice with a small drink from that period and the Lady who guided us really knew a lot about it and took the time to involve us. Very enthousiastic and a clear passion for her work! Keep up the good work!
