We had a fabulous time with Maria and it was a perfect tour for us. We love the beach, the old town and the driver is good as well.
The tour leader, Maria, was EXTREMELY unprofessional. She held more than 30 passengers hostage while waiting for a few people who were more than 20 minutes late in the morning. When she was told that this was unfair to those who had arrived on time, she yelled at the passenger in front of the entire bus, calling the person rude, even though no bad words were exchanged. Throughout the entire journey, apart from mentioning what food tourists should try, Maria provided virtually no background information about Corfu. For a so-called bus tour, this was particularly disappointing. During each ride/segment, she spoke for no more than three minutes and provided almost no information about the places we were visiting, including Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town. As a result of her poor time management, we arrived back at the cruise terminal one hour late. She did not even apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delays and poor organization. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Maria's lack of professionalism, communication, and time management significantly affected the quality of the bus tour.
Panos was waiting 25 min before departure. He was funny and gave lots of information for things to do in Old Town Corfu. The beach stop at Paleostroika was perfect. We relaxed and enjoyed ourselves for 2 hours! Panos was the best and nicest guide!!
We had some time at the beach and a nice lunch water side. We then went to old town. Our tour guide was knowledgeable.
The tour we booked was not the tour we had. The tour guide gave very little information on the way to the beach. Afterwards, per the tour itinerary we should have gotten a 1 hour bus tour around old Corfu. This did not happen at all. The r tour was supposed to last 6 hours and we were back before 5 hours. Extremely disappointed not to get to see more of Old Corfu. This was a major factor in selecting this tour so are extremely disappointed.
Our tour to Paleokastritsa Beach was a bus tour and drop off. Nothing was mentioned about the Church of the Virgin Mary, which was beautiful! Old Town was also a dropoff. .
Tour itself was fine, felt very rushed in the Old Town of Corfu and no built in time for meal on a 6 hour day. Also, tour only lasted 5.5 hours. However, the reason for 2* is the pin location in the Viator map. TOTALLY wrong. 1/2 mile from the actual meeting point. I called customer service who was no help. Walk my family of 5 up and down the pier several times before finally getting a call back from the local tour organizers.
It was great to still be able to see Paleokastritsa beach. I wish we had a little bit more time but it was okay because we got to see the old town too. And you get the see the inland towns on the drive. Our guide Natasha was easy to understand and very informative. This is a great option for a cruise excursion.
Very professional. Quality bus. Price was very reasonable. The beach was awesome. We rented sun beds and had access to changing rooms, showers, and bathrooms.
This is a fantastic tour to see the island. Our driver was excellent, and Maria, our tour guide, was very attentive and helped us get to where we wanted to go. She was patient with our delayed pickup at one spot, and gave a fantastic recommendation for a restaurant in Old Corfu. A very pleasant, reasonably-priced, and fun excursion. We recommend the tour and our team to all!
