Arita was a fabulous guide! She knew all about Corfu town and the fortress as well as the peoples and their culture and heritage. We thoroughly enjoyed her enthusiasm and knowledge. She even stopped and bought us a Greek coffee and gave us insights on some of the best restaurants. Thank you for making our day on Corfu town so enjoyable.

Nausica was knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. She hit the right level of depth in her descriptions of history and culture with full answers to our supplementary questions. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
