See Paleokastritsa Beach, its hilltop monastery, and Corfu Old Town on a practical five-hour cruise excursion with free time.
“Penelope was absolutely fantastic. She sent texts with photos and instructions of the meeting point. She was friendly and approachable. The car was spotlessly clean. She gave interesting information along the way and clear instructions about where to meet and advice on what to do at the stops. She even gave us extra time in Corfu Town which was appreciated. She gave us chocolates upon departure and bought my daughter a lovely bracelet as a gift. There was never ANY worry or doubt about getting back to the cruise ship on time. For the cost I can’t recommend this trip enough. 5*****.”

“What a wonderful day out. Costas our driver and guide was just lovely. He shared so much interesting information about the island and took us to a couple of extra places not on the itinerary and was very helpful, offering to take our photos at the various viewpoints. We ended up just the two of us on the tour so had some great chats with Costas about recipes and music between stops. Kefalonia is stunningly beautiful and it's well worth taking this tour to see nor only the caves and beaches but also the mountains and vineyards and some wine tasting tobend the day.”

“The day tour with Dimitris was wonderful. He was very kind, calm and an excellent driver round the narrow and sometimes challenging terrain roads. This tour showed us a lot of the well known tourist areas and Dimitris also took us to a wine tasting as an extra. We then contacted them again and was able to arrange another private tour tailor-made to our wishes and again was able to do easily, picked us up from our accommodation. Two thoroughly enjoyable days. Highly recommend!”
