Amazing Intro to Old Corfu Town - What a wonderful introduction to the beautiful Old Corfu Town! Our guide Efi was extremely knowledgeable, passionate and made our walking tour explore great fun! Efi took us through fascinating old historic side streets, buildings and landmarks explaining their past and present history as it related to Corfu and Greece. Efi also recommended other interesting and historical sites along the way to come back to later on our own, which we did and greatly enjoyed! Efi was truly an exceptional guide and an absolute delight. We would recommend this and any other tour offering by her.

Historical tour of Corfu Town - We did the historical tour. Efi speaks German very well and told us a lot about the eventful and interesting history of Corfu and important people who had an influence on the city's history. The topic was not just the history of the island, but everything that is typically Corfu - all in all, the time flew by and we see Corfu today with different eyes than before. We really enjoyed the tour.

A must when visiting Corfu - Our guide Efi was pleasant and a mine of information on all things Corfu. There were only 4 of us on the tour so it was like having a private guide. She took us to all the sights and also up side streets and into small squares which we would never have found without her. Each had an interesting history. This tour set us up for our stay in the Old Town and gave us great insights into all that makes Corfu a beautiful place to stay.
