Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- annemariew6400 contributionsGreat tour with information on the TV series and books as well as Corfu history.This was a great tour visiting the sites where the TV series was filmed in Corfu Town as well as information about the real Durrell family and the books that the TV series was based on. There also was quite a bit of information about the history of Corfu Town and we visited many other interesting places during the tour. Angelina was a great guide.Written 12 October 2024

- howarda6740 contributionsCorfu's history through the eyes of a knowledgeable localMaria, my guide, was born and raised in the old town of Corfu and knows it intimately. She guided me through the labyrinth of winding streets and alleys to show me historical and architectural features I never would have found. We started at the Old Fort, where the views, even on an unusually windy day, were spectacular, and then made our way through the old town. As she learned what I was particularly interested in, Maria incorporated those interests into the tour. This is a tour for anyone who is looking for local knowledge, lots of history, and plenty of opportunities for photographs.Written 29 September 2024

We recently joined the Food and Culture of the Old Town of Corfu Tour, and it was an enchanting experience. This tour immerses you in the local life, offering a taste of everyday Corfu through its delicious products, dishes, and desserts.
As we wandered through the historic streets, we were serenaded by the harmonious sounds of the city – the distant chime of church bells, the melodious chirping of birds, and the lively conversations of locals.
Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories and local secrets that brought the history and culture of Corfu to life. We felt like we were not just visitors, but part of the vibrant community, experiencing the heartbeat of the city.
This tour is a must for anyone looking to truly experience Corfu's vibrant culture and culinary delights. It’s more than a tour; it’s a memorable sensory journey.

We had a brilliant experience being guided around Corfu old town by Magda.
Her knowledge of the history and current situation of the island was invaluable.
The tour was well paced taking in all the important historical areas.
But what made this better than just a walking tour was trying out many of the delicious local foods.
We highly recommend this excellent tour thank you Magda.

If you really want to experience excellent local food and deep knowledge of Corfu, this tour is for you. Our tourist guide, Athina, took us on a tour around Corfu town, explaining everything about the history and customs of the island. The food was delicious and the portions really generous. We enjoyed a local breakfast with honey, butter, fresh bread, coffee and juice, then we tasted the kumquat products. Our lunch was really wonderful, including fresh greek salad, tzatziki, gyros, drinks and the last stop, the local gelato was the best I have ever tasted. Top, top, top!!!!

Athena was extremely knowledgeable, she used her vast experience in acedemia to guide us about, not only Corfu in the present day but its history of Venetian, French and British rule before becoming Greek again. The choice of food establishments was great and to be guided on their origins and what the locals do was brilliant. I would highly recommend this tour and this company, very diligent, professional, friendly and kind. 2 very full and happy travellers in our group! Thank you Athena ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are looking for a unique and authentic experience, book a tour with this small, local and very professional agency. We had a walking tour around Corfu town with Athina and didn't regret it! In less than two hours we visited the most important monuments without getting tired or bored. Value for money!!!

We had a very nice experience with Athina, from Corfuting!
In 4 hours we really had the time to know better this wonderful island, Corfu, and its interesting history.
As it was our first day in the island, it has been fantastic to dive into the soul of Corfu. We had the opportunity to taste the nice Corfu food, we had learned about music, architecture, beaches, villages and also superstitions!
Athina is super kind and she knows everything about the past and the present of Corfu.
We really recommend the experience!

We had a wonderful evening in Corfu Old Town with our brilliant host Sofia. We saw the town for different places and angles we would never have found ourselves. The food was delicious. Sofia knowledge of the town, history and culture was impressive.
The company even helped us find minibus transportation from our hotel in the south of the island. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend.
