Highlights
  • Achilleion Museum - Spend a full day discovering Corfu’s history, local culture and famous views on this Private Sightseeing Tour!\n\nYour day kicks off with a visit to the impressive, neoclassical Achillion Palace, built in the 19th century as a summer retreat for Empress Elizabeth of Austria, also known as Princess Sissi! Once inside the Palace, get a glimpse of the fascinating story of the ‘’Sad Empress”, as you have the chance to witness her personal belongings along with a rich variety of artworks. Take a walk through the fabulous gardens and marvel at the fascinating statues of Greek historical figures, including Achilles - the hero of Greek mythology after whom the Palace was named!\n\n- Paleokastritsa - Your tour continues with a visit to the world-famous Paleokastritsa, inarguably one of the must-see attractions of Corfu! Soak up the unique natural beauty and admire the spectacular views to the countless little bays. It’s said that it is at one of these bays that Odysseus (Homer’s fascinating hero) was washed ashore and met Nausicaa for the first time. Take time to enjoy the breathtaking views from the hilltop 13th-century Monastery of Virgin Mary, opt to take a boat trip to explore the famous caves of the area (extra cost) or swim in the crystal-clear, emerald waters of Paleokastritsa!\n- Corfu Town - Your last stop on this tour is the fascinating Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Walk along the maze of narrow streets, marvel at the distinctive Venetian architecture and take time to visit its most significant landmarks including the beautiful church of St. Spyridon, the imposing Old Fortress and the Palace of St. Michael and St. George. Wandering around this charming Town, you will also get the chance to spot some of the locations where the popular TV series “The Durrells in Corfu” was recently filmed. Pause to enjoy a coffee in the famous French-designed Liston, sample the local cuisine in one of the traditional tavernas or enjoy shopping in the countless souvenir shops!

Fabulous Customizable Tour in Corfu! - This was our second time in Corfu and taking this private tour was the absolute best idea! Everything is customizable and Yannis is super helpful with planning and planning a tour based on what you enjoy or want to see and how long you have in Corfu. Our tour guide/driver was Theodore and he could not have been any better. He gave us plenty of time at each stop so we didn’t feel AT ALL rushed. If you want a private customizable tour then absolutely book this tour! You won’t regret it!

Could not have been better - We were looking for a custom itinerary and BlueTours offered the most responsive and reasonably priced offer. Then we went on the tour with a very nice English-speaking driver and it was just about perfect

Great tour of Corfu Island & Old Town - This was a great tour. Our driver & guide were right on time and easy to find. We explored quite a bit of the island and went on the optional boat tour, which was a favorite. The views from Lakones were beautiful & we enjoyed our lunch and time in old town Corfu.

Great tour - We had a private tour and had a really good day. Our driver Spyradulla (sorry if the spelling is incorrect) was attentive and compitent She took us to Paleokastritsa , to the Monestry and a boat trip to te caves. She also went out of her way to take us to try Kumquat liqueur tasting . The Monestry wasn't as large as we thought it would be so if its not on the itinerary don't worry Would recommned using Blue Tours.

Not What We Expected - The positives-communication through email prior to the tour was amazing! Vicky responded quickly and was helpful and kind. The driver (I’m sorry, I can’t remember his name) was very friendly, The negatives-Vicky met us at the port and explained to us where we would be going for the day, but she did not go with us. Our driver then did not speak English well enough to communicate with us or explain anything along the way or make suggestions for anything. Now, we did not choose the added tour guide option, because it was going to double the price due to it being a Sunday. However we were assured that the driver would be sufficient to help us. Not so. Had we known this, we would’ve paid the extra for a tour guide. We could’ve chosen a taxi and done the same things. If you want this tour, choose the option, or learn Greek!
