Prepare your cameras and capture an once-in-a-lifetime scenery.

Our group of 9 ( 4 couples and achild) had a marvelous day with our friendly driver in a comfortable van who pocked us up and dropped us off at the cruise port. He was flexible and accommodating, kindly arranging an extra stop at a bakery/Cafe for a birthday celebration. Our time in the Old Town was shortened due to activities there that day, nevertheless we fully enjoyed our visit to the beautiful monastery and our free time relaxing and swimming on Paleokastritsa Beach. Would highly recommend Blue Tours Corfu
I higly recommend this independent tour of Corfu, especially, if you are arriving on a cruise, like we did. Maria, the guide, & Dimitri , the driver, were fantastic! Everyone in our group loved the tour…we even managed to get in some shopping & gelato in Old Town! My only regret is not scheduling time for a gyro lunch somewhere…next time, perhaps. Our 5 hours whizzed by. Pick-up & drop-off at the cruise port was very easy and the minivan was comfortable for the 4 of us in my group. Maria is so knowledgeable & personable…such a perfect guide! Blue Tours Corfu is great to work with & professional, all the way around. I booked directly with Blue Tours...very prompt & thorough in answering all of my questions.
Great tour and guide, would highly recommend this tour as the transport was large and comfortable, communication was excellent and we say all that we wanted to see. Thank you!
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.
We are truly thankful for your great feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience on our Corfu tour. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
Our Guide Elizabeth was great with her knowledge of the islands history and her flexibility in adjusting the highlights to maximize our time. The relationship was very cordial throughout. All of our group felt it was one of the best tours we did throughout our Mediterranean cruise vacation.
We really appreciate that you shared your experience with us. It makes us more than happy to read your positive reviews and know that you had a great time with us in Corfu.
Our guide was waiting for us upon arrival. Had a great time seeing the island witch included the monastery, a winery, and Corfu town. Wish we had more time.
