Very experienced driver/guide, with very good English - who was able to keep us interested despite having to negotiate quite challenging roads. We were able to see some of the sights around the central and some Northern parts of the island, including some stops to appreciate a view, a building - or another place of interest. We we’re very pleased with our choice of tour, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re happy you enjoyed the tour and felt well guided throughout the route. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.
This is a great way to see Corfu without renting a car. When you add in Leo’s knowledge of the island, it is the perfect tour. In our case, it was a rainy and windy day, so it really was the best tour. Leo took us to Vlacherna Monastery, Virgin Mary Monastery and Olive oil tasting and museum. I have driven in Italy and Africa, and I was very happy to have Leo do the driving on the high, curvy roads. The Olive oil museum was a lot more interesting than I expected and the oil was exceptional. Leo was very easy to contact as I switched pick up locations and he was very willing to make accommodations. We took his tour to Albania the next day and Leo made a special trip to pick us up before another tour that he had. Leo took us directly to the ship, made sure the tour guide for that trip knew who we were and told us how to get back to our airbnb via some cool shortcuts after the trip. The small group tour was well worth it for the sights and the history. However, Leo’s attention and kindness was way more than we expected. I cannot say enough about Leo and his agency. If he is in charge, your trip will be fantastic!
hank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that Leo’s expertise, safe driving, and personal attention contributed to an excellent experience, both during your Corfu tour and your Albania trip. We’re glad the itinerary, the cultural stops, and the olive oil museum added value to your day. Your comments about Leo’s kindness and support are truly appreciated. Thank you for trusting our agency and for your strong recommendation.
A good trip for for solo travellers. Felt welcome and safe . Nice to see the villages of Corfu. Very narrow roads, but a great tour driver.
We had a wonderful afternoon. Leonidas was so kind and switched our tour to the afternoon because the weather forecast for the morning was terrible. By the afternoon, it had cleared and we got to see so much of the island and some amazing views, particularly Bella Vista. And a wonderful coffee and snack at a bakery in Lakones. Learned a lot about the history and culture and Corfu. Absolutely worthwhile. And neither of us had to drive, really narrow streets, so both of us got to enjoy it!
It was great seeing outside of Corfu Town without having to rent a car! The driver described things all along the route and was very informative.
Thank you for your kind review.
We had a great stress free tour around the island, our driver was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. She suggested some beautiful panoramic view points and interesting Monasteries. Also olive oil museum was great for tasting. Thanks Spirogula!!
The overall trip was amazing. Leo is a great tour guide and very helpful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get out of the Corfu town and visit the island more.
Leo was super knowledgeable and provided interesting information and insights throughout the tour. He made stops in the most picturesque locations and a nice stop for Greek snacks and refreshments. The van was clean and comfortable not to mention Leo’s expert navigation and driving skills through the tightest roads Corfu had to offer.
Thank you
Enjoyed this small group tour - the guide, Leonidas, was very knowledgeable and provided detailed information about the areas we visited. We stopped at an olive oil museum where we tasted olive oils, visited a monastery at the top of one of the mountains with beautiful views, and learned so much about Corfu. Very enjoyable experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the small group tour and had such a positive experience.
It was a good experience but the guide’s english could have been better He didn’t speak clearly enough and seame too Not have too much personal interest in sharing information, it was a bit robot like
Thank you very much for your comments but we whould like to remind you that there was no guide on the tour and our driver really does his best to share some info and usually he gets credits for that.At the same tour with you there was two other guests that they have different view about it.We are sorry if we didnt meet your expectations.
