Good explanation of tours--prices, times and activity level easily seen and understood.
Overpriced and not worthy. The tour guide and the driver were really nice but this is a tourist trap for people that arrive at Corfu in a cruise. Pay 60 euros and go to Paleokastritsa on your own. We had to pay 15 euros for the boat and the tour only allows for 45 minutes. We simply stayed there and enjoyed tge rest of the day. You don’t need a tour guide in Corfu Town. You can walk the Old Town on your own.
Some travelling individuals are really puzzling, stating in the same feedback that “the tour guide and the driver were really nice” and that “you don’t need a tour guide in Corfu.” 😊 I wonder why you booked a guided tour if you could perfectly explore it on your own. It is like saying, “You don’t need a cruise; you can see all these places on Rick Steves’ Europe travel show.” And no doubt, paying EUR 15 to see one of the most beautiful Blue Caves in the world is not worth it. OMG! 😊 Safe and saving travels!
We were disappointed with this tour as the driver rushed along the streets and there were many photo opportunities that were missed
I guess you posted this to the wrong business, as we explore Corfu Old Town on foot since it is a pedestrian zone. As for Paleokastritsa, we do not rush along any streets there, but enjoy the beach and boat trip. Safe travels!
This excursion combined two very different sides of Corfu, which made the day especially memorable. Paleokastritsa offered breathtaking coastal scenery and some of the best viewpoints we encountered during our cruise. Later, walking through Old Town felt like stepping into a different era. The architecture, narrow lanes, and local atmosphere created a unique experience that was quite different from many other Mediterranean ports. The guide was informative and approachable, and the pace of the tour allowed us to enjoy each stop properly. We would happily choose this excursion again if we returned to Corfu.
It was perfectly timed. We saw everything we wanted to see. We loved taking the boat tour to see caves and crystal blue water.
A group of us booked this excursion while visiting Corfu on a cruise, and it exceeded our expectations. Paleokastritsa was absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water and beautiful coastal views. We spent plenty of time taking photos and enjoying the surroundings. The Old Town portion was a nice contrast to the coastal scenery. The streets were full of character, and it was fun exploring local shops and cafés during our free time. Our guide kept things organized while still allowing us to move at a comfortable pace. The overall experience felt authentic and well-planned. We never felt rushed, and everything ran smoothly from pickup to return. Definitely one of the better shore excursions we've taken.
Everything ran on time.The seaside part of the tour was beautiful and the Old Town had a really cool atmosphere. It’s a busy day but it beats staying by the port. Good value for money if you're on a cruise.
It was incredibly hot when we visited, so we were very grateful for the air-conditioned coach! The coastal stop was beautiful and felt a bit cooler with the sea breeze. Old Town was quite warm and bustling, but there are plenty of shaded streets and cafes to grab an iced coffee (frappe) and people-watch.
The app is very convenient and easy to use, and all the tours I’ve taken through this platform have been consistently excellent.
Traveling with both teenagers and grandparents can make it difficult to find an excursion everyone enjoys, but this one worked surprisingly well. The transportation was comfortable, and the itinerary was manageable for different ages. Paleokastritsa was the highlight for our family. The views were incredible, and there was enough time to walk around and enjoy the area without feeling pressured. Corfu Old Town also provided a nice opportunity to explore at our own pace. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, helping everyone stay informed without overwhelming the group. The excursion offered a nice mix of nature, history, and relaxation, making it suitable for families looking for a balanced day ashore.
