“Great day!! Excellent Driver!! Covered a lot of ground. Would recommend that you know what you want to see beforehand. Logistics aren't always clear unless you specify ahead of time. If you dont you may run out of time.”

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…”
