Design Your Own Day on Corfu: Private Excursion Highlights

Sometimes the perfect day in Corfu, Greece can’t be found in guidebooks—it’s shaped around what truly matters to you. The Best of Corfu: Customized Private Excursion offers you the freedom to chart your own path, with the knowledge and comfort of a local driver, a modern air-conditioned minivan, and the seaside and mountain scenery of Corfu at your fingertips. Whether you’re staying in stylish Corfu Town or seeking the salt air of a beachside village, this private tour makes the island genuinely yours.

How the Experience Works

This event isn’t about squeezing onto coaches or following a flag—it’s about moving at your own pace and following your interests. Choose between a 4-hour or 6-hour private adventure for your group. Your English-speaking driver will be waiting to pick you up right at your hotel or another agreed spot, cool water on hand, ready for wherever your imagination takes you.

Custom Itineraries: See What Moves You

With the Best of Corfu: Customized Private Excursion, you design the itinerary. Perhaps you’ll wind through olive groves into sleepy mountain villages, or seek out hidden pebble coves where the sea glints turquoise. If you want sightseeing, Corfu’s famous landmarks—from the imposing Old Fortress to pastel-coloured villages—are never far. Prefer to linger over a seafood lunch at a harbourside taverna? Or sip iced coffee beneath pine shade while locals play backgammon? This tour makes it possible.

Classic Sights—or the Quiet Corners

  • Visit Corfu’s well-known highlights or request a route that veers off the tourist trail.
  • Stop for a dip at a sandy bay or hunt for traditional crafts in a hilltop village.
  • Sample local cuisine—whether it’s lunch at a bustling seaside café or ouzo with meze in a leafy square.
  • If the Achilleion Palace or a Paleokastritsa boat trip tempts you, these can be added for a small extra fee.

You may also choose the option of a licensed guide (subject to supplement and notice) if you’d like richer stories about Corfu’s history and daily life.

“Our driver was excellent. I forget his Christian name but his name was Ervis. Excellent. We loved the Olive Oil Museum tour and shop. Thanks so much”

S SuzannahJun 2026

“Our driver Stefanos was able to customise our 1/2 day private tour to accommodate our interests. He was super friendly, punctual and professional and our transport was comfortable and spotless. It was a breath of fresh air after some of the other cruise tours we had taken in large groups. He even gave us a small gift which was so lovely. The monastery and panoramic views were highlights for me. Highly recommend and do not hesitate to book this tour”

LM Louise M.May 2026

“Guide was wonderful & informative & easy to hear & understand. The pick up location could have been easier. To far to meet. Did not make sense.”

R RandiMay 2026

“This was a fantastic option for reaching destinations in a short amount of time with a large (4-6 people) group. We had our ship excursion cancelled last minute but were looking forward to reaching a swimable beach. I chose this excursion because we could write our own itinerary with a private local driver. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a flexible 4-6 hours during a cruise port day (like us) or staying local looking for remote island transportation to consider this tour. The staff were VERY responsive and helpful. We learned of a delay in our docking time after I had already booked the tour but they were very kind and extremely easy to work with and adjusted the time to fit our schedule. At the end, we asked to pay for an additional hour and they gladly took care of us. If you have a group looking to see some of the island outside of port, I highly recommend this tour.”

L LaurieMay 2026

“It was a pleasure to be with Spiros. He was on time and drove us to many parts of the island. We were given many beautiful photo ops, learned about Corfu and its history, got souvenirs, tried kumquat soda and even did olive oil tasting. Spiros was a great driver and a gentleman. We would highly recommend him for this tour Laurie K”
