We let our guide.take the lead but we were able to see and experience Corfu away for the ship and other vacationers.
Spiro was our driver and tour guide. He took us to a short boat and cave tour, followed by a visit to Glyfada beach for the afternoon. Our tour was to stop at 12:45, but our kids enjoyed the beach so much we were able to stay an additional 2 hours. It was easy to extend. Spiro was easy going and accommodating.
Paleokastritsa was beautiful but very crowded so we opted to spend additional time at Glyfada per driver's recommendation. We were not disappointed, reserved sun bed and umbrella with easy access to water and beach club.
Both beaches we visited were beautiful, and our teen was excited to experience Pazzuzu - she was not disappointed. The real difference, though, was our driver, Dimitris. He was so passionate about Corfu, knew everything about it, and made us fall a little bit in love with the island. A true gentleman we would want to visit with again.
We last minute booked the day before our arrival to Corfu and everything still went flawlessly! We were picked up at the port by a driver and then he took us to Paleokinisto. We took a very resonablly priced boat ride on a classic wooden boat with 6 other people around the caves, saw the area where A View To a Kill was partially filmed, and the beautiful waters and lots of sea bass (optional additional cost of 15 E pp). After that we were driven around the island to Galyfa beach. We got 2 beach chairs, and an umbrella on the beach (optional additional cost) for 2 and a half hours, had lunch and some drinks, and then he dropped us off at Old Town as we requested. He was pleasant and informative! I’d definitely recommend!
My mom and I had an amazing private excursion on this beautiful island! We couldn’t have asked for a better driver! He shared so many things about his home and truly introduced us to the beauty of Corfu while making us feel pampered! If you are traveling to Corfu, I wouldn’t hesitate to book this wonderful excursion in order to make your time in Corfu magical!!
Very personable and adjustable tour! We were able to adjust plans and see it our way! Such a beautiful place!
Leo our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour. Leo is thoughtful and courteous, and made this a delightful way to experience Corfu . I would highly recommend this company .
The self guided monastery tour was the perfect little taste of history, religion, and culture. Then we were on to Glyfada. The beach was amazing. Plenty of chairs (only one ship in port), clean and felt perfectly safe. Nice restaurant and bar with bathrooms close by. Our driver was wonderful. Courteous and knowledgeable, and fun & easy to talk with.
On time, friendly boat tour was terrific wish we would’ve had more time. Beach club was mid but the bartender was super sweet.
