“This was a great private tour that avoided big crowds and made our trip to Paleokastritsa and Glyfada beaches very enjoyable. It was well organized from the beginning with the tour operator messaging me with clear instructions on where to meet our driver and what to expect for the day. She pre booked sun beds for us at Glyfada beach and arranged for a boat trip to tour the caves in Paleokastritsa. Everything went very smoothly. Our driver took us to each beach and made sure we knew where to go to get on the boat tour for the caves and where to go to get our sunbeds on the…”

“We had a great time on this shore excursion with Vexperio. Our cruise ship was sold out and we hesitated booking outside, but we’re so glad we did! Pick and up and drop off at the ship was a breeze. We had an amazing guide, and a relatively small group compared to our previous tours with ships. They took us on a really nice boat ride in an authentic rustic fisherman boat and brought us right outside a few magnificent caves with stunning views. Then we had some time in the Old Town before being brought back to the ship. So much less expensive than ship excursions and really top…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 26 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $80

Meet your English-speaking guide at Corfu’s cruise pier for a half-day island tour. Ride to Paleokastritsa for one hour of beach time or an optional €15 cave boat trip, then visit Corfu Old Town. Guides such as Vasia, Dimitria, Alice, and Viansa have led this route, though your guide may vary.

“You and 50+ of your closest friends get to ride a bus to paleokastrista. Once there you can either take the boat to some caves, or walk around for 30 minutes, you can’t do both. We took the boat ride and it was sub-par at best, and no time to use restrooms. Afterwards we drove to the top of the peninsula to see mouse island from afar. The stop took less than 30 minutes. We then drove to old town and got a tour from our licensed tour guide. This is the worst tour we had on our vacation. Definitely felt rushed and tour was overpriced for what you get.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 16 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66

Spend about 4.5 hours seeing Corfu’s best-known sights by air-conditioned vehicle, from Paleokastritsa’s coves to Old Town landmarks such as Liston and Saint Spyridon. A local guide such as Anna, Faye, Tatyana, or Magda leads the visit, while the optional 15-euro boat ride adds a close look at coastal caves.

“You spend most of the time on the bus, when you go to the beach area where the cave is if you don't go to the cave you will just sit around for 1 hour doing nothing. You stop at another stop and see the airport area on a hill and wasn't that spectacular. Suggest just go to the old city and shop lots of great stores.”

“Both beaches were nice but they charge 25 euros just to rent a beach chair! Our driver was very nice and even went out of his way to find an open pharmacy on a Sunday as I had a headache. We only wish he would have filled in the time more by talking about the region both past and present.”
