Would have liked more time with the guide in Corfu, although the trip to the beach was nice on a hot day. I would not encourage people to take the optional boat ride to the caves.

The Tour as planned does not have enough time. The trip to the caves is great, but by the time you reach Corfu Town there is not time to see the town and have free time. We opted for lunch and missed seeing the town altogether. Please add at least another half hour to the tour for more free time!

The driver dumped us off in Corfu. Pointed in directions of old fort and new. No information on special things to see. Advertised as tour for first time visitors but we were on our own. Dumped and no guidance. I would have chosen a different tour. Description was definitely not what we got.
