Highlights
  • New Fortress of Corfu - Our tour starts near the New Fortress of Corfu town, a Venetian fortress constructed on St. Mark’s hill in the early 16th century. The existing buildings within the fortress were erected by the British during their rule of the island (1815–63). The British and French later expanded the Venetian fortifications to defend against potential Ottoman attacks.

  • Mouse Island - Enjoy a beautiful view of Corfu’s famous landmarks, Pontikonissi and Panagia Vlacherena chapel, as well as watching airplanes land.

  • Mon Repos Palace - Mon Repos is a former royal summer residence located just outside Corfu Town. It is situated south of Corfu City within the forest and botanical gardens of Palaeopolis. Since 2001, it has housed a small archaeological exhibition of Palaiopolis.

  • Spianada Square - Visit Spianada Square.

  • Corfu Museum of Asian Art - The Palace of St. Michael and St. George is a historic building in Corfu Town. Commissioned by Sir Thomas Maitland, it originally served as the residence of the British Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands. Built between 1819 and 1824 in a neoclassical style, the building now houses the Museum of Asian Art, various temporary exhibitions of Greek painting, and student visual arts projects.

  • Corfu Town - Stroll through the cobblestone alleys, discuss local history, culture, and customs, and take a coffee break at a local café.

Well balance mix of cultural facts, walk and relax - I love walking tours but they are tricky because the guide has to be able to tailor the tour to the target audience: the guide may drown you with facts or may just focus on the juicy stories. In this case we were a small group (3 people) and Georgia definitely gave us an interesting talk related to the history of the island and the old city without being too long-winded. The stop at the café also was quite refreshing and gave room to other discussions (e.g. what it means to live there after the tourist seasons). Also, thumbs up for the cold water bottle!

Amazing tour in Corfu Town - Georgia is an absolute amazing tour guide. We did a tour by foot in Corfu Town and saw things, we normally wouldn't have seen. And the hidden small restaurant we went to, was amazing as well. Thank you so much Georgia!

Walking in history - My wife and I chose the walking tour of Old town. We arrived pretty early, but Georgia was already there, waiting for us. She quickly gave us bottles of water to stay hydrated on our walk. We really enjoyed being able to make our way down the old streets and alleyways with someone confident and knowledgeable about where we were. Her friendly personality, along with her smooth transition of topics, really helped enhance what she was saying. We learned a lot about the history of the town, whether it be from occupying countries, the architecture, the areas of interest, the music scene, religion, and the culture of today. We also enjoyed our rest stop at a local cafe, and our personal bonding over cats.

Wonderful and entertaining. Georgia is a delight. - Imagine my luck I was the only one on the tour. What a pleasure. Georgia was able to answer all my stupid questions and gave me an insight because of her personal knowledge. It was truly delightful.

Fabulous bike tour of Corfu Town - Fabulous trip with Georgia around parts of Corfu Town that you would otherwise probably miss, with information on the history and culture of the area and a nice coffee stop. Perfect length and very enjoyable. Our trip was mainly cycling with a walk around some of the central areas.

GEO Cycling cancelled trip and I didn't get to go....disappointed - I booked this on line when I got to resort. Got an immediate confirmation. Received a message from Bike lady to confirm pick up from the bakery near to hotel at 16.00 the following day. Then received a message from Viator that trip is cancelled and either book another date or cancel for money back. No option to re-book and blacked out. Had to request a refund. Viator then sent a message to tell me they would refund nothing of the 88 euros I had paid. Rang Geo bicycling and girl answered. She said she had accidentally cancelled my trip but had re-instated it almost immediately. Hence I suppose no refund. I said I still wanted to go on trip, so if she sorts it out with Viator what day can we do it. She sent me a message to say Viator will not pay her money, She was not going to re-arrange the trip and then I got a message from Viator to say full amount will be refunded to my card. Which must of come from her. She could of done a much better customer service job than this. I was still willing to book directly with her, however she washed her hands of me and didn't want my business, I assume because of the hassle with Viator, because I wasn't rude and still wanted to go. Put me off of booking anymore trips on the holiday,
