Fantastic service – highly recommended!
I rented a Vespa GTS 300 here for my holiday and was absolutely delighted with the whole experience. Everything was extremely friendly, easy and relaxed from the very beginning. The owners are incredibly welcoming, attentive and helpful – you immediately feel that they genuinely care about their customers. I especially appreciated their great tips for day trips and beautiful routes around the island. Both pick-up and return of the Vespa were completely hassle-free. The website is also very informative, so you can easily find everything you need to know about the scooters, prices and rental conditions in advance. The Vespa itself was perfect for exploring the island. Excellent service, advice, organisation and value for money – an absolute recommendation!
Response from the operator: Dear 86joerg2, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! ❤️ We are truly delighted that you enjoyed your Vespa GTS 300 and that everything, from the first contact to the return, felt easy and relaxed. It means a lot to us that you also appreciated our route recommendations and the information we provide on our website. Most of all, thank you for noticing the care we put into what we do. It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we hope Corfu has given you many beautiful memories to take home. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another Vespa adventure one day! Kindest regards and best wishes for a joyful life and safe rides, Katerina & Niko

Amazing experience
🇵🇹 From Portugal: An incredible experience; the staff were super friendly and explained everything in detail. The motorcycle came with a phone mount and charger at no extra cost. We also took a tour, and they gave us plenty of suggestions! The bike was perfect—size, fuel efficiency, and power. We highly recommend it. See you next time ☺️
Response from the operator: Dear friends from Portugal, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we are delighted that you enjoyed both the Vespa and our service. We’re especially happy that our recommendations and little extras helped make your ride more comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for your trust and for recommending us. We truly hope to see you next time you visit Corfu! Warmest regards and best wishes for a happy life, Katerina and Niko,

Service +++.
The experience was way beyond our expectations: First the personalized service was perfect with recommandations and a good briefing on what to do and see. The even have tours already built on Google map with everything you need to hold and charge your phone on the scooter. Speaking of the scooter, it was in an excellent condition and worked perfectly. We rented the classic Vespa 125cc which is enough to cruise around but with two on the scooter you may need a little bit more power going up the hills. We were on a cruise and extended our experience to the limit and Katerina offered us to go back to the cruise terminal with the scooter and made the road with us just to make sure we make it on time to our boat. Make sure you have the proper driving license and spare sometime at the end for refilling the tank, it may take some time to find a gas station when you are downtown.
Response from the operator: Dear Louis, Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to us that your experience went beyond your expectations. We are especially happy to hear that you appreciated both the personalized service and the effort we put into creating easy and enjoyable routes for independent explorers around Corfu. Thank you as well for mentioning the importance of the correct driving licence and the fuel refill planning before returning to the cruise ship. We truly appreciate it, as these details can be very helpful for future travellers. It was a real pleasure meeting both of you, and we are very happy that despite your limited cruise stop, you managed to enjoy such a beautiful Vespa experience around the island. Escorting you back to the cruise terminal was the least we could do to help you enjoy every possible moment of your day in Corfu with greater peace of mind. We sincerely hope to welcome you back to Corfu again someday for an even longer Vespa adventure! Warm greetings from Corfu and best wishes, Katerina

Corfu travellers
We have rent 3 different vespa and it was a great experience. We explored Corfu and was a great joy and a beautiful vacay. Katerina and Nico are one in a million, so kind and helpful.
Response from the operator: Dear Elena, Thank you very much for your kind words — we are so happy to know that you enjoyed your Vespa experience in Corfu! 🌸 It was a real pleasure to meet you and to see that your holiday was filled with joy and discovery. Thank you also for sharing your photos with us. We truly appreciate it. From both Niko and myself, warmest wishes and we hope to welcome you back again in the future! Kindest regards, Katerina & Nikos

Wonderful Two-Wheeled Adventure
What a great time with Niko today on our trip to Palaiokastritsa. There's no better way to see a new place than on two wheels, led by a local who knows it like the back of his hand, on the winding roads less travelled. We hiked to a mountaintop fort with spectacular views below, stopped for pictures along the way and grabbed coffee and a snack at a beautiful cliff side cafe where we got to know our friendly and interesting host. It was the rainy season with showers in the forecast, but we chose to take our chances. Glad we did, as our hosts managed to divert the forces of nature for our benefit. Only regret is we did not spend an extra couple days on this wonderful piece of paradise. Thanks again to Katerina and Niko and hope to see you again in the future...
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Jon K, Warm greetings from a still-cloudy Corfu today! A heartfelt thank you for taking the time to share such a wonderful review of your Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Vespa tour experience! We’re truly delighted that our 2025 season started with experienced riders and travelers like you. Despite the not-so-promising weather forecast, we’re grateful that you chose to take your chances—sometimes the best adventures come with a little unpredictability! Corfu is indeed a place where one ride is never enough, and we couldn’t agree more that it takes more than a day to uncover both its hidden and well-known gems. It was a real pleasure meeting you both, and we sincerely hope to welcome you back to this beautiful island in the future. Until then, may your journeys always be filled with safe and enjoyable rides! Kindest regards and best wishes, Katerina & Niko

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Corfu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Corfu is not rushed.
Is Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Corfu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Corfu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Corfu and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Corfu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Corfu?
+
On Outty we rank every Corfu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Food and Cultural Tour in Corfu, Full Day Cruise from Corfu in Classic Wooden Vessel, Swim & BBQ, Paxos Antipaxos and Blue Lagoon Full Day Semi-Private Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Corfu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Corfu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Snacks; Tour escort; THIRD-PARTY insurance for civil liability; 125cc Vespa®; and Vespa® top case with backrest cushion for the passenger. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Above & Beyond Palaiokastritsa Corfu Vespa Scooter Tour?
+
