Tour leader was amazing beaches are very nice and you even have time to do some shopping. Highly recommended
Lovely experience. The meeting point is right in the terminal building with Grayline Bus signs. Maria was super friendly and helpful with great tips. Ample time at both stops and back to cruise terminal on time
I liked it a lot and for half the price of the cruise excursions.
Great excursion with information about Corfu as well as some rest and relaxation included. Enjoyed the beach and visiting old town
We got taken to a very crowded beach which was in a very beautiful area, however no opportunity to hire beds or umbrellas so went on a cave boat trip. As it was only a 2 he stop it was no big deal.
We arrived to the meeting point at 10:30 for our pick up at 10:50 in front of the terminal’s building. Instruction says Your company name on the tag. We assumed Viatour or our last name. Nowhere was it said it will be Corfu tours or something like that. So they left and we had to call service desk in USA to find out from them that tour operator left without trying to contact us. Expending refund. Will see how they will process it as they want tour operator approval.
Great excursion with great people. The beach was beautiful! We rented chairs that were $90 for a pair. Everything was smooth and comfortable!
Ashwini was a great tour guide. Not a lot of time at each stop but very scenic ride
This is simply a transfer from ship to beach, beach to town and town to ship. There was confusion at meeting point as rep was holding up a sign saying “Corfu” when the info given was an open top bus company. To be clear we were not anticipating an open top bus but were expecting to find someone holding a sign with the operators name on. Our driver was friendly and flexible with timings per our request.
Corfu was busier than I expected. The beach we went to was busy and small however we took a boat tour so not much time for the beach. Was interesting but not fabulous.
