“Very accommodating and attentive to us tourists - The people in Corfu were very nice and very helpful to direct us when we were lost. The beach we went to was beautiful. Nikko was our driver and he was wonderful! He dealt with 13 of us and was nice to us. We needed extra time when our tour guide was about to end. They gave us an extra hour. This was one of the best trips so far.” - Reviewed on 2024-07-08
