We had a great experience, I recommend this company. Gil was professional and knowledgeable and we enjoyed great conversations with him. He also had a lot of great recommendations that worked out for us. We had a toddler with us and there was both a toddler and infant seat in the car. Guide was very understanding about a mix up at the beginning of the trip. We had a great time. Vielen dank!!
This was a fantastic option! Our driver Gil sp? was very personable and worked with his team to find an olive oil producer for us to visit off season and day of the tour. Their recommendation of The Governor was stellar! Gil also made sure we got to see the beautiful views of Corfu including the lake and the dunes. Thanks for a great day Gil!
Oh wow.. where do I start. This is one of the greatest experiences in my life, I'm very much impressed and overwhelmed. I was traveling solo and staying in Paleokastritsa so I booked a full day tour without actually knowing what to expect. I didn't want to rent a car because roads in Corfu are narrow and winding and driving can be very tricky. So I thought that at least it would be a local with a car and I'd get to see some beautiful places I wanted to see. What I got was so much more! I got to see every place I wanted and then some! My driver was Eftichia hi there! : and I couldn't wish for a better companion! While she isn't a guide, she's a great driver, very accurate, professional and knows a lot about Kerkyra, so I had a blast on this trip. I brought back a lot of happy memories and saw some really beautiful places I knew about and those I had no idea about. This definitely felt like exploring an island together with an old friend, sharing some opinions, differences and fun moments. It so happened we had quite a lot in common, so we were talking and laughing and stopped for coffee a couple of times and I truly hope I gave something back too and got to remind her about some places she hasn't been to for quite some time. Thank you so much, my dear friend, I promise I will be back some day! xoxo P.S. A day trip is a long time which you get to spend with another person and whether you want it or not it's all about communication, what you give is exactly what you're getting back. So relax and enjoy this amazing experience, it's definitely worth it.
We had picked six places we wanted to see on Corfu and after visiting three of these, our guide, who was new to the profession, told us the road was closed to the Monastery. We told her to take us the the places SHE thought were the best on Corfu and she DID! We took dirt roads to get to viewpoints that were breathtaking!! Our only regret was that we spent so much time around the island, that we didn't have enough time for the Old Town of Corfu before our ship sailed.
Our guide Valia was great. She was easy going and informative.
