We recently booked this on the Viator website and a couple of weeks ago we had an amazing day, just my wife and I and a lovely young female driver, Eftichia.
She was waiting for us at the cruise terminal as arranged and asked us what we wanted to see. Having been to Corfu over 40 years ago, I had memories of Paleokastrista and Mouse Island which she drove us to, as well as taking us to the Old Town and right to the top of Corfu with an amazing view of both coasts.
We had a lovely lunch near the water outside of the Old Town and all in all a fantastic day and highly recommended.
Eftichia was a fantastic guide, considering she only does this when they are overly busy. Thank you!

Our shore excursion was arranged through Charites Travel. The bus was punctual, both the interior and exterior were clean, no watermarks on the windows, an excellent driver and exceptional tour guide. I do not need to say more.

So I arranged for CHARITOS TOURIST ENTERPRISES SA to taxi my wife and I to the White House restaurant in Kalami for a romantic lunch. We were off to a good start when a nice well furnished Mercedes van turned up, we were given water and settled down for the hour long drive from Ermones. When we reached the outskirts of Kalami the drive stopped and pointed towards The White House restaurant 2km down the mountain. He then proceeded to tell us that, we had to walk the rest of the way as there was nowhere for him to turn around in Kalami. As my wife and I were walking down the hill wearing inappropriate footwear as we were not expecting to have to take such a long walk. We were passed by, by delivery lorries and other Mercedes vans on there way into Kalami, which to us means that our driver could not be bothered. When we reached the restaurant not only was there ample parking and turning facilities but also a competitor parked right outside with an identical van(photo attached). So we arrived for lunch, all sweaty, uncomfortable and late as we had not planned for a 20min walk. We also had to cut shorty our lunch as we had to allow for the 25min(slower going up hill) walk back up the hill to meet the driver for our allocated 2pm.
So for me the whole experience was ruined by CHARITOS TOURIST ENTERPRISES SA.
Just to make things a little worse at no time during my booking was I told that we would have to walk up and down a mountain. But what I was asked was where about in Kalami I wanted to go which was an irrelevant question considering that the driver had no intentions of going into Kalami.

Our driver Stefanos was the best driver ever had. He took us on the best spots of the island that only locals can take you. The agency was so helpful that made our short visit in Corfu to be the best time ever had. Thank you all!!!

The "Corfu: Customized Private Tour" was the most disappointing part of our time in Greece. We had hoped to make the most of our only full day on Corfu by “visiting popular attractions and hidden gems on a full- or half-day private tour designed just for you”, as promised on the website. However, what was delivered was essentially a 7 ½ hour taxi ride around part of the island.
We had booked an eight-hour tour to start at 8:00 am, to leave us some time in the afternoon to enjoy the amenities at our hotel. However the day before our tour the company called us and changed the start time to 9:30 because “8:00 is too early”. This should have been our cue to reassess our plans, but we tried to be cooperative and agreed to the later start.
Our booking confirmation indicated that the driver would reach out to us in advance to discuss the tour, but this did not happen so the day before the tour we emailed the company with a few sites/experiences we would like to have incorporated into the tour, time permitting. As it turned out, these were pretty much the only sites we saw – the driver’s lone suggestion was The White House, and we drove a long way just to take a picture of it (and we aren't Durrell fans).
The biggest obstacle was that our driver’s English was only basic, not sufficient to allow for conversation or for us to ask questions. Therefore he was essentially a driver – not a guide – and as we had purchased what was advertised as a guided tour, it was a disappointing way to end our time in Greece.

We had a half-day tour with our guide Mona and driver Rosa that was the best ever. Very informative and friendly, with our comfortable car always right there waiting for us. We learned so much about Achillion Palace and Old Corfu, as well as the island in general. Highest recommendation.

Excellent service, polite, very smart comfortable and clean vehicles. When a customer left their phone on the transfer bus they very kindly returned with it and waited for her to collect it before she flew out of the country. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend this fabulous company, we had a private tour of the Island and visited places well off the regular tourist route . Our driver was very professional, smartly dressed and friendly. This was the highlight of the holiday. We also used Charitos Travel for our transfer to the airport, superb VIP serivce. I will be using them again on arrival in May

We had a mini bus and a local guide who knew the villages and the island, and we had amazing food. It was a private tour so we got to know our guide, who was very nice, and he got to know us as well. We had everything, from fresh fish to local Corfu beer, feta cheese and amazing baklava.We are in love with Corfu. for sure we will come back again.

Hello! We will be in Corfu on July 15 via the Norwegian Sky 11am-7pm and we are interesting to learn about your tour itineraries and prices. We are a party of 2 but once we have your information we can post it on the Roll Call for our cruise to try to get more people.
