      Excellent walking tour of old town Corfu
      We learned a lot about the rich history of Corfu during our two-hour tour with Efy. She also provided useful suggestions on places to eat and drink. The pace was just right.

      Charming and deeply informative tour. Discovered so much more than on our own walk around town earlier in the week, and learned a lot about the history of the town and the island.

      A must do!
      A superb walking tour with Efi in English. The history of corfu was fascinating as well as the architecture. We wouldn’t have discovered all of the little alleyways without her. Do the tour then walk around around again and just wander, we loved Corfu Town!

      Great ghost tour!
      It was the best ghost tour we have participated so far. Many scary stories, legends and facts, not only from Corfu, but also from Greece. Our guide, Efi, was very well prepared with pictures and stories. We didn't feel bored even if the tour was 2 hours long. We really recomand this tour!

      Great orientation and historical facts
      Efi was fantastic! She provided a good mix of history and local tid bits which I really appreciated. She also kept us mostly in the shade which was a god send. Would highly recommend this tour to give you a good orientation of the old town, and learn about it's incredible history.

    It’s been one of the best tours I’ve been to in my life! The guide (Efi) made the tour a very friendly, personal experience. Because i picked a quiet time I ended up being the only the person on the tour. Efi went far beyond just ‘delivering a service’. She spent far more time showing me around Corfu than she had to in order to answer all my questions and adjust the tour to fit my interests. It was clear that she is really passionate about her work and sharing Corfu’s history with visitors!
    If you’re looking for a informative tour with a knowledgeable guide this is an excellent choice!
    The tour was worth far more than I had paid. I’ve already signed up for another tour with this company and might even go for a third one.
    Many many thanks, Efi!
