“Danijel was a great guide. Knowledge, personable and delightful to be with. Touring privately via Tuk Tuk with a local guide who has spent their life in the area is great. Like wandering around with a friend who just happens to know the area well and is excited to share it with you.”

“It was just a hop on hop off, no guide. We just got off once”

“The Hop-On-Hop-Off buses have been a great asset to our trip! We’ve used them in multiple cities and never been disappointed. They’ve enabled us to see many of the “must sees” in the short time we’ve been in the cities. Love them”

J JacquelineUnited Kingdom · May 2026

“We liked being able to get off and look around and then catch another bus. Audio commentary was great on the 1st bus but it didn’t work so well on the 2nd one. Great trip and much cheaper than the cruise excursions!”

K KaylaUnited States · May 2026

“Lots to see, buses came every 20 minutes! You can take your time exploring and then get on the next busses to continue your tour”

J JayneCanada · Oct 2025

“Corfu is a small island. The tour is shorter than one expected in a bigger city. Certainly you see the highlights that this beautiful island offers”

V ValUnited Kingdom · Oct 2025

“Picked up the bus at the port. Earphones and commentary were good and clear”

T TracyUnited States · Oct 2025

“Riding in the top of a roofless bus through Corfu was so fun. At some points we had to be aware of the overhanging trees. The history and culture are astounding. The wait times were not bad at all.”

M MattUnited States · Oct 2025

“The bus is a very great way to tour the island at your own pace. Is a short walk from the port.”

M MarkCanada · Jul 2025

“It was nice that the HOHO bus stop was only a 5-10 minute walk from the cruise port terminal so that we didn't have to deal with extra transportation. The HOHO bus was supposed to run every 20 minutes, but it looked to me like they had put on extra buses to deal with all the passengers from the cruise ship, so we were able to board immediately without having to wait for any other buses - something I really appreciated and which was NOT the case in some of the other ports we visited.”
