We had an absolutely amazing time in Corfu. It was easy to find the transportation from the cruise ship and they got us back to port with plenty of time. We had a small miscommunication but Vicki (the manager), Christina (our guide), and Magda(from Vexpiro) all worked together to make it right and the day was AMAZING. Our group of 21 kept commenting all day how much we LOVED Christina our guide. She was knowledgeable, skilled, and so so kind. We happened to be in town when the Olympic torch was passing through and she found out how to get us to see it. One thing to keep in mind, and may be a good thing to update in the description, is that the boat tour to see the caves is dependent on it being high season. If we wouldn't have had such a great time with Christina we would have been disappointed that we didn't get to do the boat. Overall HIGHLY recommend booking this tour and this company. They were responsive and great about communicating leading up to the tour. We really loved it

Meeting point

Upon your arrival at Corfu port, the activity provider's vehicle will be waiting for you with a sign that reads "J A T" on its window. To ensure they can get as close as possible to your cruise ship with their vehicle, they will have a special paid license. Therefore, please do not take the cruise port bus to the terminal. Instead, please walk for a few meters and look for the buses that are parked a few meters from the cruise ship (not next to the cruise ship). The vehicle will be located in this area as well.

Fabulous overview of Corfu & surrounding areas. Our driver Akis was fantastic. He gave us very knowledgeable commentary on the island of Corfu from his personal experiences & suggested out of the way places of interest to see. He also provided bottled water & was very aware of our comfort at all times. When he dropped us at the Old Town he gave us his personal recommendations of an authentic Taverna to eat & places of interest to see plus a recommendation for the best gelato ever. Would highly recommend this tour & in particular Akis as a driver.
