THE BEST DAY OF OUR HOLIDAY
We started by exploring the beautiful old town of Corfu,where Yorgos showed us around and told us so many interesting stories and facts about the history of the city.It was wonderful to discover the city this way. Afterwards,we went to the local market to choose our own vegetables and fruit,which made the cooking experience even more special.And then came the cooking itself - absolutely fantastic!The food was delicous, and we had such a wonderful time Yorgos made the whole experience feel personal, relaxed an authentic.We enjoyed every minutes of it and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Corfy!! Yorgos,thank you so much for the recipes! i will think back with great pleasure to our wonderful day together every time i make them at home

Friendly and welcoming people,great atmosphere,highly recommended!
The cooking classes and olive oil tasting was the highlight of our holidays in Corfu! Very friendly people from the host ,chef and staff,they all made us feel very welcome in their home. With their warm behaviour they made us feel like members of their family! The preparation,olive oil tour was great but the traditional Greek lunch was out of this world! This activity is highly recommended if you want to experience the genuine Greek hospitality. Congrats to all the staff,you have done an excellent job!

Host too touchy with girls
While the activities were great, the host was uncomfortable touchy with girls that were both a lot younger than him and in relationships, often holding their shoulders or holding them by their hips. This was incredibly uncomfortable and undesirable from a host.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your review. Regarding your complaint of the host being"unccorfatble touchy"with girls,we would like to inform you that in Greece to touch someone on the shoulder is considered as a gesture of frinedship and kindness,not a touchy behaviour! Furthermore,nobody never,ever made a gesture to another part of your body! This would be definetely inapropriate and far of the limits of the professional behaviour we all in our company have and is 100% against our spirit and manners! Perhaps in your country,Japan,touching someone on the shoulder is an indication of the behaviour you described. We apologize for not knowing this individuality of(some or all) Japanese people. However,it is very strange that all the other female participants,from USA,England and Croatia,also accompanied by their male companions,received the same friendly and welcoming attitude exaxtly like yourself. Not only they were not offended or bothered,they applaud our warm behaviour for making them feel like home and they rated us with FIVE STARS. As we were not aware of the specific individuality that is exceeds the Japanese frames of good behaviour,you should be also informed what "friendly and welcoming" behaviour means for not only the Greek people but for most of the European and American people. It is the first time that we receive such an offensive review and it is turning against not only our company but against my family and the values we have passed to our children.Perhaps you should have considered it more thoroughly before upoading it. Thank you again for joining our activity!

A hidden gem in Corfu: food, culture and olive oil traditions
Such a special and memorable experience with Yorgos’ cooking class and olive oil tasting tour! We loved starting with a visit to the local market, which gave us an authentic glimpse into Corfu’s food culture and traditions. We chose fresh local ingredients and prepared simple and delicious dishes with just a few quality ingredients. Learning about their olive oil production and the care behind their oil was a highlight. Yorgos and his staff were sincere, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, they made the whole experience so personal and genuine. This has been very unique and niche experience, far beyond a typical tourist activity. I’d also love to try their other activities, especially their hiking and kayaking experiences, if I had more time in Corfu.
Response from the operator: Dear Kelly, Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure meeting and hosting you and your friends in our cooking classes experience. We at Corfu Outdoor truly value our guests and the trust they place in us when choosing to participate in our experiences. We remain committed to our motto, "quality over quantity," and it means a lot to us to know that our guests leave with a smile on their face. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays in Corfu and I look forward to hosting you all again to one of our experiences! Give my best to your friends and especially to my fellow patriot, Yiannis!

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece! cost?
+
Prices start at $118 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 Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece! take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Corfu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece!?
+
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 Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece!?
+
Around 24 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking Classes and olive oil tasting.The real taste of Greece! 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, The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting, Electric Fat Bike Self Guided Tour Discover North Corfu. 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.
