What people are saying about Corfu

Eirini gave us such a personal, pleasant and fulfilling tour of the beautiful island of Corfu. When we first met, she asked many questions to decide what to do and where to take us -- she did not disappoint. We couldn't have asked for a better day in Corfu; we spent time at a local beach where we were able to take a boat and explore nearby caves, sampled baklava and local beer at a small establishment high in the hills overlooking the glorious crystal clear turquoise water, and then spent some time shopping in Corfutown. Corfutown is a quaint, charming "village" with many shops, restaurants and attractions to visit with such interesting history. Eirini was extremely nice, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. Needless to say, this excursion was well worth the time and money.

Amazing cruise! The crew did a great job keeping the action going. They described the surrounding islands, we saw the beautiful blue caves and even saw dolphins playing in the wake! We stopped to swim in the crystal clear water and the DJ played energetic music that turned the boat into a dance party along with the Greek dancers. Highly recommend this tour! 5 Stars!

The cruise was enjoyable throughout the day ! From the beginning with the welcoming, the discover of Lakka in Paxos, the swimming near Antipaxos and the end of the journey with the radiation am Greek dancers, we loved it!

We really enjoyed every moment. Is nice to see your teenage one with open mouth inside the caves. We get plenty time for swimming. Just probably more time will be nice for explor Paxos island.

Our guide did a terrific job and customized the tour to make sure we saw wh a t was most interesting to us.
