We had such a wonderful walking gastronomy tour with Ariti in Corfu! She shared such interesting information about the city's history and the lives of the locals and we ate ourselves silly! Her warmth and passion for the culture of Corfu was unsurpassed and we cannot wait to return for a longer visit in the future. Ariti also connected us with local artisans and family businesses we would not have found on our own. Thank you, Ariti! It was a great day!

This experience you must subdue yourself. It is a really good mix of food and history. For example, how history has put its mark on Corfu and thus also the gastronomy. Our guide, Alice, was really good at conveying the story in a lively way and the delicacies we got along the way fit into the overall experience. We left there with a feeling of having gotten a better insight into Corfu and an understanding of what it really is like to live there. Good and interesting trip!

We had a wonderful evening with our guide Elektra on the walking food tour in Corfu town. We learnt about the history of Corfu while we wandered through the beautiful old town. We stopped to sample food along the way, delicious pastries, meats and cheeses, and sweets before having a meal in a taverna. Elektra was so knowledgeable and great fun to be with. I highly recommended this tour.
