One of the best tours you can get in Corfu! This tour and tour guide Ariti left a great impression on us, bringing us through the Old Town, as well as The Fortress. The guide herself is unimaginably friendly, and kind and even gave suggestions on our further stay. The tour was easily understandable and had the perfect duration, with the inclusion of a short coffee break. The feeling is like walking with a friend, so we highly recommend it! <3
