About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 747leventef0 contributionsAn amazing dayWe went with my fiancé on this trip just a couple of days ago and it was 10/10. The team of the boat was really friendly and funny. They gave really good vibes for the whole trip. The places we has been were beautiful and also the bbq was really enjoyable. The only thing that I noticed is the price is cheaper if you buy the tickets on spot. We bought it online and it was 63€ each of us but on spot it was only 40€. So I would suggest to check the appointments online and buy it when you get there. Thank you for the service we definitely will recommend it to our friends!Written October 2, 2024
- Whitehalltraveller0 contributionsBeautiful scenery!The maximum group size is 6 people but there was only 3 of us so felt like a private tour. You don’t cover the Old Town in detail, so doing a walking tour is an advantage which we had booked too. Getting across the island is best in a mini van as some of the roads were narrow. If you were in the back seats, you may struggle to hear the guide/driver so I would ask that he wears a microphone.Written September 30, 2024
- gregmackinnon980 contributionsAmazingGreat fun, great organizers and captain. Amazing food, stop with the possibility of swimming and unforgettable views. Definitely worth the price and time. Would definitely do it again .Written September 24, 2024
- Momopattino20 contributionsAmazingNo comment, just go and try, amazing team, food was good, soft drinks are for free too, Wine was free during lunch Thankyou very much,Written September 21, 2024
- cliff_taylor20 contributionsNo issues at all, enjoyed the dayWe were with a client meant called Sarris, oldish boat but safe, good bar in an air conditioned indoor area, managed to get outside seats for the whole trip. All was on time, just short of 2 hours at each stop off. Long time on the boat, but what do you expect? Relaxing time, crew were efficient and friendly. Well worth the 32euros.Written September 18, 2024
- KarlL13140 contributionsAwesome experience.The trip was great. The host and crew were fantastic. Lots of time for swim and very good food. The sights and stops made along the way were thoroughly enjoyed.Written September 8, 2024
- Excursion6284250 contributionsDon’t miss this one!Gregory picked my husband & I up at our hotel yesterday exactly at 9, and we were surprised to find he was our private guide for the day. Excellent driving in a BMW 520 with wonderful air conditioning (we’ve been hot the whole 3 weeks weve been touring Greece & Turkey, so decent air conditioning is heaven at this point!). Fantastic itinerary, with some Flex Time for personal choices since it was just us 2. We added in a boat ride to the Caves & the Blue Eye (so cool!) and shopping for everything made from Olive Oil.Written September 2, 2024
- GoPlaces398718759900 contributionsBeautiful Swimming!We had an excellent time on board with Spiros and his crew. Not too many people and we were taken to some beautiful swimming places. The BBQ lunch was absolutely delicious. Thus was a well organised and enjoyable cruise. Worth your money. Enjoy!Written August 25, 2024
- 8427A0 contributionsChaotic passport control!We were collected at 6.40am from our hotel and taken to Corfu Town. The coach takes you to the port, where you receive a boarding card (you must not lose this as you need to show this to get on and off the boat). Once we were off the coach, it was a bit stressful as nobody really knew where they were going. It is a bit of a hectic time because people are everywhere and pushing to get to places. It took roughly 45 minutes to get through passport control and to get onto the boat. After getting through passport control, you are left to find the boat you need to board. Again, another stressful experience. At 9.30 am, the boat set sail. There was more queuing involved when you got on. You have to pay for your visa and pay for the guided tour (if you want to do that). It was a 1 hour boat journey. There are some lovely views during the boat the trip, and there is some little commentary of points of interest. Once off the boat, if you are doing the guided tour, you then separate into spoken languages and board the coach. After 1 hour, we reached the National Park of Butrint. The tour guide showed us around the ancient city and was very informative. We had approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes exploring. I'd recommend bringing a water bottle with you as there is lots of walking involved. I enjoyed the stop here. There is lots to learn and some great historical ruins. Then, we were driven to a buffet lunch at a local restaurant. We had 50 minutes here. The food consisted of bread, vegetables, rice, meat, and fruit. It was a pleasant lunch. None of the food was labelled, but it was fairly obvious to identify what was what. However, they had no sauce available apart from tzatsiki. Drinks were not included in the price, but the prices of drinks were not extortionate. Afterwards, we were given 1 hour and 15 minutes to explore Sandara. There are plenty of restaurants along the promenade but not many shops. Finally, we met the tour guide along the promenade, and he walked us back to the port. Passport control is absolutely awful!! There is no organisation or queing system. Everybody is just pushing their way to the front and barging you. This is a big downside to the trip as it is very stressful and chaotic. It actually ended our trip on a downside.Written August 20, 2024
- Jennifer0820 contributionsTrip to Albania worth a visitExcellent trip to archaeological site. Enough time so we were not rushed. Tour guide was great and very informative. Good lunch on way back. Boat was too crowded and only just able to get a seat.Written August 14, 2024
- Elizabeth R0 contributionsIt was goodThe boat was crowded on the way over with people having to stand. The journey was ok and good as it had a hotel transfer. Albania was lovely and most people friendly. We went in August so it was very hot. I wish we had stayed on to visit the old ruins (sorry do not know the name!)Written August 8, 2024
- Tammie D0 contributionsWell organized tourWell organized and informative tour. Tour company made getting in and out of Albania very easy. Tour guide at Butrint was a wealth of knowledge. We could have spent less time there which would have allowed more free time for swimming as beaches were beautiful. Perhaps a tweak to itinerary to afford this? All in all, a good experienceWritten July 23, 2024
- clairehU1987OU0 contributionsFantastic!! Great family-run boat tripFantastic boat trip with an amazing family-run operator! Great swimming locations and delicious bbq. Don’t forget to take cash for any alcohol you want, but there’s water and soft drinks included in the price. Really inexpensive for pretty much the full day on the water.Written July 22, 2024

DO NOT DO THIS TRIP.
Me and my boyfriend booked this trip being told by the TUI rep it was 8-10 hours long.
Was picked up at 8.15am and taken to the ferry port to where we was greeted by what only can be described as a huge floating tank with a few windows. It was over crowded, no where to sit and no air con. Little do you get told that it takes 4 hours to go to the blue caves in which you can’t take photos because of the over crowdedness. Once you get to antipaxos you are allowed to jump off. There is no where for you to swim too and there was about 4 other huge boats with 100’s of people all doing the same thing. Me and my boyfriend both jumped off and had to get back on the boat as we could barely swim. We then carried on to Paxos which dropped us off no where near the town. 20 mins to the town and 25 to the beach which was tiny and had no room. The town itself was beautiful but it was not worth it. We then got back on the boat to endure another 2.5 hours back to corfu in again, over crowding and no air con. By the time we got back to corfu we was dying to get off the boat. The crew was so rude and not helpful at all. Do not go on this trip, it was the worst excursion I have ever done. We got back to our hotel at 7:30/8pm. If we had been told by our TUI rep that we was to be on a boat for 9 hours we would not of gone. It was stressful and a horrific experience. If you wish to see these islands, please make sure you book a smaller and more private boat or even hire one yourself with a driver.

This was the most terrible experience. Do not go on this. It is seems like a scam and a waste of money. I understand things happen but the manner of this whole experience was deceitful from the word go and we among many others on todays trip demand a full refund as a result. We did not go into the blue caves or stop for a swim at antipaxos. We got a off for an hour at paxos and thereafter we were constantly warned about “our safety” underpinning the reason we could not stop anywhere else. After asking multiple crew what the safety reasons were no one would provide an answer. We completed 1 part of the itinerary only and spent the rest of the time of on the boat with the captain going at ridiculous rocky, fast speeds. This completely contradicted any “safety” we were warned about and a lot of people were sick as a result. There was one crew person at the bottom canteen who was exceptionally rude, screaming at customers just wanting to order snacks and that only added to our terrible experience. Do not waste a single cent of your money on this. They are NOT what you pay for. If we do not get our full refund, we will be taking legal action effective immediately, albeit, that it is already seriously being considered at this point in time to ensure the future safety of everyone. Please do not ignore the terrible reviews of this - we should’ve listened to all the reviews prior to engaging Corfu cruises for a terrible experience.

I'm not going to start like most others and say its horrendous, but it wasn't brilliant. We booked on a recommendation through our TUI rep. We were given the impression we would be sailing from Corfu Town and there would be a rep from Tui with us. The reality was, at 9am a coach arrived on the 'wrong side' of the road. A driver who had no list of names shouted Paxos..and after a hour and half coach ride in the opposite direction from Corfu town and we ended up in Kerkyra. The boat 'Georgious' was not as full as some of the others in the port, so thankfully, we weren't crammed in. We spent an hour and half on sea travelling to a cave... which half the boat sailed into then backed out of. (Not as impressive as the caves in Zante). We then sailed to s cove where Half an hour was spent moored close to the beach. Not close enough to get off, but close enough for those who wanted to swim. Another hour and we docked at Paxos. Sorry. But it was just like any other Greek tourist village. Two and half hours is far too long here to be wondering around aimlessly. (I do recommend the cafe George on the corner in the centre). Its lovely, but With no rep or guide, we had no idea what to see or where to go. We got back on the boat and set off at 4:20. After another coach trip we got back to our hotel at 6.30. Nine and half hour trip. 7 of those travelling. I wouldn't recommend this trip. Save your money, swim in the sea at your hotel and buy a local bus ticket to Corfu Town, or the next village down from your hotel. Same experience, but cheaper and more comfortable.

Absolutely terrible. Spent hours on a boat and didn't get to see the caves. We got 20mins swimming near one of the islands for 20mins. We paid 220euro for this trip and it was a waste of time and money. Worst of all they won't even give us an apology or a refund. Absolute scam

Excursion organized by Corfu cruise, big overloaded boat, which will drop you off for a swim in the company of other overloaded boats, a paddling pool!! The staff only thinks about making figures with their drink. Antipaxos, a big pebble we go around and Paxos nothing interesting, tourist trap!!

It was a beautiful boat trip, the blue cave was very beautiful and also Paxos and Antipaxos.
The trip including pick-up took a little too long, from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm.
The crew tried to make it a fun day, but personally I thought the speakers were too loud.
All in all, a great day!

They were very organized with their pickup times, I received an email a couple of days in advance on where to wait and what time bus was, and it was on point. The locales and the route the boat took was fabulous. loved the every minute of that, and for that alone the price is worth it. The AntiPaxos and Paxos stops were lovely!!!
So for the bad part, I've taken tours like this before and this was by far the largest group I've ever been with and you loose a bit of group fun. If you happen to find a smaller group or company that takes you the same places go for it. Except for the last 30 minutes the crew doesn't really interact with the group. I'll say when they did it was fun.

Overall, an average trip - The crew was attentive and helpful but the boat was, in our opinion, too crowded. Getting on and off to swim was a bit disorganized. Service was great, though. Views were incredible.

After being collected from our hotel at 7.20 am we proceeded to visit other hotels to pick up others!!! 1hr 40 mins in a cramped bus driving on bumpy roads!!bad start what else could go wrong after all we were off to visit the islands. arriving at corfu port we were quickly loaded on to what i can only describe as a human cattle lorry on water! this boat(ferry) was packed with others offering very little choice of seating. Our only choice was a bench type seating arrangement at the back which was very uncomfortable having sat down we were off!!!!! omg nearly 3 hours on this ferry with only 1 small bar serving overpriced refreshments by a typically greek host(rude) arriving at paxos we were told we had 1 1/2 hrs to explore! just time to have lunch before being bundled back on the ferry after another hour we arrived at the next destinationfor again 1 1/2 hours just enough time to grab a drink before rushing v=back to the boat to grab a better seat (like everybody else) off we went again this time 2 1/2 hours of misery discomfort and frustration before reaching the port where we were desperate to get off!!!
