Great day but felt rushed. A longer day in Corfu old town would have been ideal as the shopping was very good with excellent prices. Took the boat tour from the beach and it was enjoyable. Beach facilities for bathrooms and changing rooms was non existent. It would have been helpful to have known this ahead of time. Offering bottled water would have been an appreciated gesture. Guide was excellent and very helpful.

It did seem a bit expensive, but the beach was like it was out of a dream, truly amazing. Thankfully the walk back to the cruise port was doable because we got lost in the town and were 3 minutes exactly late for the transport back to the ship, and they weee aware we were almost there, and they left.

Information and instructions very good. Sweet beach and walk to the church. We went on the boat to the caves which was fun.

Natasha was an excellent Guide. Knowledgeable, and friendly, she made the trip very enjoyable. Unfortunately, on the return journey, the bus driver did not raise the front passenger window blind, which meant the view ahead was obstructed. Overall, though the transport was very good, and comfortable. There was the right balance between time spent traveling between points, and having free time to explore. Natasha ensured that all clients felt very comfortable and confident in her capabilities as a very reliable, knowledgeable Guide.

Very nice trip. Aris was our guide and gave us a good overview of Corfu, kept the group organized and was entertaining. This tour made it easy to visit the beach and Corfu.
