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.

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.

Amazing day in Corfu - We had an amazing time! We felt like VIP’s on our private bus and got picked up right at the port. The communication from our tour guides was excellent. The views were incredible and spending time on Glyfada beach was so relaxing. It was my favorite day of our vacation. Highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful Island! - Our driver was wonderful. He took us all around Corfu and showed us the beautiful island. When we stopped at a place he would let us know where we were. Keep in mind he was not a tour guide, so we didn't expect any detailed information, so what he gave us was great! It was very very hot that day and he was very accommodating. Picking us up when we needed cooling off and providing us water. I would recommend booking this - especially if you're part of a cruise. It makes your time in Corfu so much more productive and easy! :)

Best way to experience Corfu - We had a great day with Stefano! We got to see as much of Corfu as possible in day and we got to go at our pace. The monastery was worth visiting, then we enjoyed a beautiful beach, and had a lovely time in town before going back to our ship. The convenience of transportation and the driver's insights along with making our own schedule made this tour perfect. We would definitely use the tour company again if we return to Corfu.
