Nausicaa from Corfu walking & food tours was our guide. We have visited Corfu town before but this tour made us fall in love with the town, history, culture and people. We covered so much from the church where Prince Philip was christened to the influence of invaders throughout history. We tasted local dairy products and visited the Asian museum (after the tour) recommended. We also discovered a great lunch venue recommended by Nausicaa. Above all it was her captivating personality that made the tour so enjoyable.
