This excursion turned out to be one of the nicest experiences of our vacation. We enjoyed a peaceful swim before taking time to admire the coastline from the beach. Afterwards we visited several historic locations that gave us a better understanding of the island's past. The old fortress was impressive, especially with the views from the top. We shared a delicious seafood lunch while watching the sea, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable. Our guide was friendly, informative, and never rushed us. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and sightseeing for a couple looking to enjoy the day together.
My wife and I booked this excursion during our cruise stop in Corfu because we wanted a mix of sightseeing and some time to relax. It ended up being exactly what we were looking for. Paleokastritsa was stunning, with beautiful coastal views and incredibly clear water. The scenery alone made the trip worthwhile. Afterward, we visited Corfu Town, where we enjoyed walking through the historic streets and discovering small shops and local cafés. The atmosphere felt authentic and welcoming rather than overly touristy. The beach break was a nice addition and gave us time to simply enjoy the surroundings without rushing. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing information about the island while allowing everyone enough personal time. It was a very enjoyable day and one of our favorite shore excursions of the cruise.
I booked this excursion because it seemed to offer a little bit of everything, and it certainly did. Paleokastritsa was peaceful and scenic, making it a perfect place to slow down and enjoy the island's natural beauty. Corfu Town provided a completely different atmosphere, with lively streets and fascinating architecture. I enjoyed being able to explore independently while still benefiting from the convenience of organized transportation. The beach stop was a relaxing way to end the excursion. Overall, it felt like a balanced and enjoyable day that showcased several different sides of Corfu.
One thing we appreciated most about this excursion was the amount of free time included at each stop. We never felt like we were being hurried from one attraction to the next. Paleokastritsa was easily one of the most beautiful places we visited during our cruise. The views of the coastline and surrounding hills were unforgettable. Corfu Town was equally charming, offering plenty of opportunities to explore hidden streets and admire the architecture. The beach break added another enjoyable dimension to the day, allowing us to relax before returning to the ship. Everything felt well organized and thoughtfully planned.
The whole experience was amazing. From submitting the enquiry to receiving a response to a phone call. Was all done within 24 hours. The lady who booked us was Dimitris. Amazing lady
Our group was looking for a shore excursion that combined sightseeing with a more relaxed pace, and this tour worked perfectly. The transportation was comfortable, and the guide was friendly and informative. Paleokastritsa offered some of the best scenery we saw during our entire trip. Corfu Town was fun to explore, especially the narrow alleyways and historic squares. We also enjoyed having some time at the beach, which made the day feel less rushed. The combination of locations provided a nice overview of the island, and we returned to the ship feeling like we had truly experienced Corfu.
As a couple, we found this tour to be a very enjoyable way to explore Corfu. Our guide was friendly and engaging, which made the experience even better. It all ran smoothly from start to finish, especially with the timing from the cruise port.
A very nice day in Corfu. Everything was organized and crisp, and our tour guide Vasia (sp) did a great job of providing a commentary as we drove about the area. She was very clear about where we were going, what we were going to do, when to meet back up, and what our options were (ex. if you don't want to go on the boat trip, you can go swimming or hand out on the beach). The boat trip to see the caves was fun - the water in Corfu is beautiful around the coastal area. I strongly suggest spending the 15 euros per person and going on the boat. Old Town Corfu is beautiful - one of the prettiest ones we saw on our cruise of the Greek islands. In summary: a very nice day on a well-orchestrated tour of Corfu.
It wasn’t well described in the narrative. Would have liked more time to have lunch and a beverage. Tour guide was not interesting.
The tour was delivered exactly as advertised; all listed sites were covered. No lunch or beverages are included. The guide is a certified professional with 16 years of experience and a large collection of glowing reviews. Some travelers’ expectations can be puzzling. For future bookings, we strongly recommend basing expectations on the tour description and inclusions rather than personal assumptions. Safe travels.
We really did enjoy this tour. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we certainly enjoyed listening to her throughout. She gave us a lovely introduction to Corfu and its history. This, together with the different sites that we visited - in particular the beach and the skyview terrace - made this tour very memorable, even for my young daughter. We would definitely recommend this tour for individuals and families alike.
