A wonderful and colorful experience - The guide was really nice and explained a lot if interesting details about Corfu's history which I didn't know. She also told anecdotes and her own experience as she grew up in Corfu, which gives a new perspective when compared to a simple guidebook. Highlights were the English Cemetery and the Soap Manufacture that has been operating since the mid 19th century!
