Corfu Island Sightseeing Tour

Very good experience Very friendly guide who took great care of us We recommend this excursion which allowed us to get to know the island well

We were collected from the hotel on time and joined the trip at Koloni. Then off to the West Coast at Paliokastrita and after a 2 hr stop off up the West Side of the island and across to Kassiopi. After an hour or so there off for a trip back down the spectacular East Coast and drop off back at the hotel. Great way to see quite a bit of Corfu in one day.

It was educational and entertaining. The tour guide Sofia is knowledgeable and doing a great job, and the driver is reliable and trustworthy.

We're so looking forward to this trip. Waiting at the allocated spot for 20 minutes for bus was due. It didn't arrive. Called company to find out what happened. No explanations and no refund. Save your money and go with another company.

A very complete day visiting the best of Corfu. Very nice places, very well organized and the guide great

It all started with the fact that we booked this trip in German and when we sat in the bis we were informed that this tour was only in English and French today. We were offered to do tomorrow's tour. But since we had other plans the next day we decided to do this tour in English/French. Unfortunately not everything was approached / offered as it was in the description. In the old town of Corfu, for example, we did not go to the old town hall, not to the church of St. Spiridon and even more places was omitted. But all that was stated in the description that these places are visited. When asked if the lady could tell us something in German too, only a flimsy excuse came "you may only speak two languages on the bus, otherwise it would get boring for the others)" you can explain to me privately outside the bus in German. Which she did. That was fine. Nevertheless, for the money we paid (the travel company made a mistake in booking, a German speaking guide personally told me) it was a pretty weak showing. The next stop was a seaside resort called Paleokastritsa. Well why I have to visit a seaside resort (there might be one or the other thing that would be more interesting what you could look at remains inexplicable to me as well. In addition, it was only a stay of 30-40 min where you could neither bathe nor take a boat trip because the time is just too short. There was too much wind that day anyway, so no boats operated. Next, we headed to a restaurant with an eerily beautiful view. Only this place was very expensive. Seemed like they had an agreement to steer us tourists into this place. At this price we paid for a meal could have been there. (We already had that). Also, the possibility to visit another tavern was not given as this was the only way to eat. We continued with a tasting of regional products. Didn't say anything like that. It was okay. Then when I asked if we would go to Achileon (that was actually the reason for booking) the answer was no. My tour guide only said when I showed her my tour description ,no that is an old description and you have to change it. This building has apparently been a construction site for years. But the garden would have been with information and accessible.. there I would have hoped at least to come to the garden and get information about this building. But no instead we drove to the nearest seaside resort Kassiopi. Apparently to watch people bathe. Interesting Conclusion: much too long bus rides, little information which could have been passed on in German on the bus , but which was supposedly not possible. And too expensive for the price. Better rent a car yourself and drive there what interests you.

We got to see all the sites in the northern part of Corfu. It was a great day. Corfu is so beautiful and this was a nice way to see much of it. Our guide Valia was amazing, she spoke 4 languages and had various nationalities on her tour today.

A big wrinkle at the start of my trip as the transfer bus that was supposed to pick me up never showed. Called listed tour contact number. After a few calls, the first one assured me the bus was on its way, I was directed to take a cab to the first trip stop. Cab ride cost 20 euros which I ate. But on the positive the tour manager meet me at the stop and made sure I hooked up with the tour. Rest of tour was marvelous. Good tour guide, adventuresome driving through the narrow mountain roads and crowded villages. Adequate time at each stop to explore, but not to wander too far.

The tour guide was just about average they got me back to the port 45 minutes late, too much time on the bus

Experiences were very good particularly the optional boat trip at Paleokastritsa. Unfortunately the Achilleion Palace was closed for renovation.
