This was our group’s (8) favorite tour of the 5 ports we’ve so far. Corfu is a great town. However, what made the tour absolutely the best was our guide Ariti. Her love for her city and its culture & food really shines through. All of the food was better than we had imagined since none of us are overly familiar with Greek foods. This tour is such an excellent value for the small price. Caution: do NOT eat breakfast before the tour! We recommend that anyone take this tour without hesitation.

Don’t eat breakfast! This tour is full of fantastic local eats that offers many servings per person. The guide was WONDERFUL, explaining the history of Corfu, its culture, and modern day changes. We did many walking and food tours around Europe during our cruise and this was or FAVORITE. the guide made it spectacular - so you would understand what your were seeing, why, and gave nice and clear explanations of local traditions. THANK YOU!!!

Hands down, the best part about our tour was Alice, our guide. She was energetic, and warm, and very knowledgeable. You could tell her enthusiasm stemmed from passion and pride in her culture. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We ate a lot of amazing food, got a good history and understanding of the city, and walked away wanting to come back to Corfu!

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.

Eletra, our guide, was very informative, shared lots of history and answered our many many questions. The food was delicious and there was so much of it!
