Best Corfu Tour with Boat Trip & Old Town for Cruise Passengers

2.Best Corfu Tour with Boat Trip & Old Town for Cruise Passengers

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 107 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $72

Meet your English-speaking guide at Corfu cruise port for a four-hour trip to Paleokastritsa, its beach and optional sea caves, then Corfu Old Town. Guides such as Magda, Mary, Alice, and Fay have led past departures. The €15 boat ride is extra and weather dependent.

“We really enjoyed Mary who was courteous and informative. Finding the van from a cruise ship was easy. My problem was it was advertised as a boat and beach trip. The boat was not included which I’m OK with if it is clearly stated in the description. Also, we had 45 min at the destination and the boat tour took 40-45 min and there was a line so it really wasn’t an option. There is a little time for beach and shopping.”

“Boarded the bus and headed to the water for our boat ride in Palaiokastritsa which was lovely. So many photos were taken of the shoreline and cave areas. Very little narration on the boat. No bathrooms on shore. Bus traveled towards “Old Town” and apart from the mention of gypsy areas - no narration. Old Town and museum/fort area was packed on our Saturday. No bathrooms. No narration of historical area and were pointed to Old Town which we LOVED!!! Sat down in a restaurant where we received a pass to the bathroom 4 1/2 hours after our tour began. Hungry and Thirsty - we enjoyed 45 minutes in Old…”

Travel from Corfu’s cruise port to Paleokastritsa, its beach and optional caves boat trip, then explore Corfu Old Town with an English-speaking guide. Mary and Ilene have received especially warm praise. The 4 to 5-hour outing includes transport and a ship-time return guarantee.

“La guide était bonne, mais l’excursion très moyenne. La visite du monastère plus ou moins intéressante. Pas beaucoup de temps à Corfou. Il offre la possibilité d’un tour de bateau pour 10€ supplémentaire qui vaut le coût. Par contre, j’ai annulé un passager 36 heures d’avance et je n’ai jamais été remboursée pour celui-ci. Alors qu’on m’avait répondu que le remboursement ce ferait dans les 3 à 5 jours suivants. La raison que Viator a donné, c’est qu’il n’avait jamais reçu l’annulation!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 27 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60

Spend 4.5 hours exploring Corfu with an English-speaking guide such as Fay, Stella, Photini, or Alice. The route pairs Paleokastritsa’s cliffs and beach with Corfu Old Town and the Liston, plus an optional €15 cave boat ride. Port pickup and ship-timed return are included.

“Our tour guide Fay was excellent she was very knowledgeable, fluent in English and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this tour especially with her as a guide. The only disappointing part, which has nothing to do with the tour operator, is that some of the other tourist on our tour could not follow simple instructions from the meeting point, let alone the time allocated at each stop which in turn caused delays getting to the next spot. Fay being so accommodating and kind hearted allowed it. Unfortunately this meant our time in Corfu town was cut very short. Once in Corfu town she stated that the bus will…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 26 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $80

Travel from Corfu’s cruise pier to Paleokastritsa for beach time or an optional €15 sea-cave boat trip, then explore Corfu Town with an English-speaking guide. The 4 to 5-hour shared tour includes transport and a guaranteed return to your ship, but busy port days can shorten free time.

“There are strict time schedules to be kept that some of our fellow travelers didn't follow which decreased time at other stops. Our guide provided wonderful commentary during our bus ride and we learned a great deal about the island's history. We were transported on a very nice coach to the resort town of Paleokastritsa. You could take a boat tour at an extra charge or hike up the hill for beautiful views. We chose the hike and were well rewarded. We made a second stop for spectacular views and a restroom break. Unfortunately, this is a stop for many tours and some of us spent our time in the…”

We took an added boat tour to the caves that he arranged for us. We had a very nice time in old Corfu and the 4 hour tour was over way too soon!! I would definitely use them again!!”

Meet your English-speaking guide beside your ship in Corfu, then ride an air-conditioned vehicle to Paleokastritsa, its beach and optional caves boat trip, followed by one hour in Corfu Town. Fay has guided some departures. Pickup instructions arrive by email before departure.

“Not worth it. Take a taxi up to Paleokastritsa Beach and spend the time you want there. We were supposed to do 1 hour and 40 minutes there And do a boat ride. Instead they told us getting on/off the boat isn’t safe for all people so we won’t be doing that and we were only there for 40 minutes. They then took us to Mouse Island ( a lookout to see the island) which is a waste of time and a joke because there is new owners at the restaurant area they don’t allow you near the viewing site do you are standing in a parking lot looks through…”

Build a four-hour Corfu tour around your interests with a private guide and air-conditioned vehicle. Visit Old Town, Paleokastritsa Monastery, and Achilleion, or ask about beaches, viewpoints, Makrades, Mon Repos, local food, beer, and wine. Amanda and Anna have guided past tours.

“True to the description, this is a private custom tour based on what you're interested in. My guide met me at the airport and we visited several great places on Corfu, based on my interests. She knew a lot about the sites and the history of the island, but also told me about life on the island. I'd use this company again for excursions on Corfu.”

“The best part of this excursion was the boat ride, which the price was not included in the cost. This excursion was NOT as advertised. We did not visit Mouse Island, and we did not spend any time in Corfu Old Town. Honestly, it was a complete rip off.”
