An excellent shore excursion! Spirou was a great driver and his passion for Corfu was evident as he took us to see amazing sights, the luxury van was cool and comfortable and we felt safe on some narrow winding roads! He was helpful in giving us tips for our wander around Old Town! Thank you Spirou for a great experience! Would highly recommend this tour service!

We really enjoyed the minibus. It is new and comfortable and very convenient for sightseeing (because it is higher than cars). Our live guide Spyros was very friendly, he drives very well, and he did everything to ensure we had the best experience. We saw the monasteries, the airplanes, Mouse Island, and the historic old town of Corfu. It's a luxury to be able to be dropped off in front of the sights. The language barrier meant that the children (and also us) had a hard time understanding everything... You can go there stress-free.
