Private Half-Day Tour of Corfu - Loved Corfu. We did a half-hour private tour because of our limited stay there but we covered so many places and sights. We did not have a guide but our driver is very knowledgeable who acted us our guide . Highly recommended!

Cofu the way you should see it! - The night before we arrived in Cofu I booked this private tour. The next morning Dimitri met us at our ship and off we went. It poured all morning but nonetheless we had a blast! Dimitri was knowledgeable and tailored our excursion for us. We walked the lovely grounds of Achilleion and then Dimitri took us up to the Kaisers Throne for a spectacular view of the city and countryside. We toured the city making our next stop at Mon Repos to see the renovated home of the Greek Royals summer home. We concluded our half day tour at the old fort and city. Dimitri left us with a few excellent dining options for lunch as we wanted to walk the old city area.
This private tour was wonderful and Dimitri was wonderful to talk with and we learned a great deal from him on the history of the island. I am a fan!

Perfect day in Corfu - We booked a private tour and it was the ideal way to experience Corfu in just a day. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and really tailored the experience to what we were interested in.
We started with a visit to a beautiful monastery — peaceful, picturesque, and full of history. From there, we headed to the viewpoint overlooking the airport. Watching planes take off and land on that incredibly narrow airstrip was fascinating (and a little thrilling!). We finished by strolling through charming Old Town Corfu, where our guide explained the rich Venetian influence, helped us find local shops, and shared great recommendations.
It was the perfect mix of scenery, culture, and fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the highlights of Corfu with a personal touch!

Stunning Corfu! - Great combination of walking tour of Old Town Corfu that included a bit of free time to explore on our own. Our group of 6 then rode comfortably in a small van to see Palaiokastritsa, visit a monastery and enjoy a wonderful lunch with stunning views of the Ionian Sea. Overall a great day, highly recommend!!

Best overview of Corfu - We signed up for the half day private tour and it surpassed all expectations. Our guide and driver were friendly and easily adapted to our requests like finding a great cup of coffee and kumquat cake.. We got a very good idea of the lay out of the island and visiting the Monastery of Virgin Mary with breathtaking views was a high light

Wonderful private tour of Corfu - With Anna as our guide and Christos as our driver, our private 7-hour tour of Corfu was fabulous! We visited the beautiful Paleokastritsa hilltop monastery, with its majestic old church, interesting museum, and scenic views. We also visited the picturesque village of Lakones and the historic Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna is on the small islet near Mouse Island, where we took in wonderful views. We took a long walk through Corfu Town with its beautiful main square, hidden small squares, labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys, and iconic churches. Along the way, Anna shared her immense knowledge of Corfu’s history and culture, and this made the day so interesting and enjoyable. She was very friendly and accommodating, adapting the tour to our interests and pace. We saw so much more than we would have in a group tour. Anna is a great guide and Christos is a great driver, and I recommend this tour highly.

A Delightful Experience - Corfu was an excellent site to visit and the guide we hired to drive us around ("Lulu") made our visit absolutely delightful. We enjoyed our conversations with her as we drove around the city; gaining insights into the culture and personal lives of the local residents.

Three viewpoints only - It started on the wrong foot and we totally missed the pick up spot due to some confusion. The tour was okay. We just visited three viewpoints. I don’t think it is worth my money.
