    Great experience on a marginal weather dat

    The lunch with the guide after our tour. She recommended a local non-tourist restaurant and helped us order a traditional greek lunch before she left. Fantastic. Lubie was an excellent guide.

    Corfu was our favorite!! Because of NIKOS!!!

    We loved this excursion!! It was our favorite one we did on our entire 14 day trip! corfu was incredibly beautiful but what really made it special was our tour guide Nikos! He was full of information about Corfu! He took us down to the water and arranged a small boat ride for us to be able to see the coast and to enter some caves. It was stunning. We did have to pay $25 more each couple but it was well worth it!!. Nikos joined us on the boat when we invited him and that was very helpful for translating purposes! He then took us into town and had lunch with us when we invited him. He helped us translate the menu and he recommended what authentic Greek food that we should order. We had Moussaka which was delicious and the most incredible Gyro and greek salad that we have ever had!! Nikos even shared his Souvlaki with us so we could try it all. The kumquat liqueur spritzer that is native to corfu was refreshing and delightful! I highly recommend this tour!! We plan to make a special trip in the near future to go straight to Corfu and stay a whole week there! Other tours could learn a lot from Nikos!! He was by far the best tour guide that we met and we where very grateful for his knowledge and hospitality!!

    Achilleion Palace Tour

    Excellent site high about Corfu's eastern shore. Interesting History about the original builder being the Empress of Austria and then the Kaiser taking over the palace. It was a casino in the '60's and then came under the custody of the Greek government. A must see if you are in Corfu.

    Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.

    How much does Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $330 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 Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace 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 Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace 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 Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace 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 Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 Private Shore Excursion: Corfu Town and Achillion Palace 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, 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.
