What To Expect
Achilleion Museum
Spend a full day discovering Corfu’s history, local culture and famous views on this Private Sightseeing Tour! Your day kicks off with a visit to the impressive, neoclassical Achillion Palace, built in the 19th century as a summer retreat for Empress Elizabeth of Austria, also known as Princess Sissi! Once inside the Palace, get a glimpse of the fascinating story of the ''Sad Empress”, as you have the chance to witness her personal belongings along with a rich variety of artworks. Take a walk through the fabulous gardens and marvel at the fascinating statues of Greek historical figures, including Achilles - the hero of Greek mythology after whom the Palace was named!
Paleokastritsa
Your tour continues with a visit to the world-famous Paleokastritsa, inarguably one of the must-see attractions of Corfu! Soak up the unique natural beauty and admire the spectacular views to the countless little bays. It’s said that it is at one of these bays that Odysseus (Homer’s fascinating hero) was washed ashore and met Nausicaa for the first time. Take time to enjoy the breathtaking views from the hilltop 13th-century Monastery of Virgin Mary, opt to take a boat trip to explore the famous caves of the area (extra cost) or swim in the crystal-clear, emerald waters of Paleokastritsa!

Three viewpoints only

3.00It started on the wrong foot and we totally missed the pick up spot due to some confusion. The tour was okay. We just visited three viewpoints. I don’t think it is worth my money.
Perfect day in Corfu

5.00We booked a private tour and it was the ideal way to experience Corfu in just a day. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and really tailored the experience to what we were interested in. We started with a visit to a beautiful monastery — peaceful, picturesque, and full of history. From there, we headed to the viewpoint overlooking the airport. Watching planes take off and land on that incredibly narrow airstrip was fascinating (and a little thrilling!). We finished by strolling through charming Old Town Corfu, where our guide explained the rich Venetian influence, helped us find local shops, and shared great recommendations. It was the perfect mix of scenery, culture, and fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the highlights of Corfu with a personal touch!
Stunning Corfu!

5.00Great combination of walking tour of Old Town Corfu that included a bit of free time to explore on our own. Our group of 6 then rode comfortably in a small van to see Palaiokastritsa, visit a monastery and enjoy a wonderful lunch with stunning views of the Ionian Sea. Overall a great day, highly recommend!!

5.00We signed up for the half day private tour and it surpassed all expectations. Our guide and driver were friendly and easily adapted to our requests like finding a great cup of coffee and kumquat cake.. We got a very good idea of the lay out of the island and visiting the Monastery of Virgin Mary with breathtaking views was a high light

5.00With Anna as our guide and Christos as our driver, our private 7-hour tour of Corfu was fabulous! We visited the beautiful Paleokastritsa hilltop monastery, with its majestic old church, interesting museum, and scenic views. We also visited the picturesque village of Lakones and the historic Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna is on the small islet near Mouse Island, where we took in wonderful views. We took a long walk through Corfu Town with its beautiful main square, hidden small squares, labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys, and iconic churches. Along the way, Anna shared her immense knowledge of Corfu’s history and culture, and this made the day so interesting and enjoyable. She was very friendly and accommodating, adapting the tour to our interests and pace. We saw so much more than we would have in a group tour. Anna is a great guide and Christos is a great driver, and I recommend this tour highly.

5.00Corfu was an excellent site to visit and the guide we hired to drive us around ("Lulu") made our visit absolutely delightful. We enjoyed our conversations with her as we drove around the city; gaining insights into the culture and personal lives of the local residents.
Beautiful Corfu!

5.00Our tour of Corfu was amazing. We’ve done several tours on this trip and our guide and driver Akis is the best! He was attentive to our every need and took us places that we didn’t expect. He was knowledgeable, professional, and very courteous. Great sense of humor. We enjoyed our day in beautiful Corfu. Thanks Akis!

5.00We were on a cruise and took the private excursion. It was amazing. They picked us up on time and brought us to wonderful places with so much historical information. We went to a quiet olive oil museum where we had a private tour and tasting! Thanks for sharing your island with us!
