Great day when the weather is nice, I would even say that good weather is essential. We were lucky and the day was magical 😍 Maria speaks all languages very well and is very friendly, be careful though, French is much less detailed than English. It is noted that you have to print the tickets but electronic tickets are accepted. I highly recommend if you are passing through Corfu.

We had a fantastic day on the Cruise to Paxos Huge thank you to all of the crew the tour guide was great and DJ put on a wonderful performance. Was amazed by the fantastic dancers at the end!!

Excellent activity. We were lucky to have a wonderful sunny day and we were able to enjoy the excursion very much. Highly recommended.

It was a great program, everything went as described, we saw beautiful places, I recommend it to everyone.

Fun crew and amazing opportunity to swim in some of the most blue and clear waters!
