    Great company. Lovely Driver. Beautiful views

    Our family had a lovely experience with our driver, Maria. She was very professional, friendly, a great driver (she had to navigate through very crazy traffic to get us to some beautiful spots). Maria also worked with us to tweak our itinerary to include a drive to the beautiful Lakones Village, which we appreciated very much! She also gave us extra time to eat lunch in Corfu Old Town (Liston Square), since much of our time was stuck in traffic (totally beyond her control-Greek local governments needs to make some improvements to better control their tourism-related traffic). At the end of our tour, Maria even gifted us a sweet token of Corfu. Very thoughtful. We enjoyed meeting Maria and would tour with her in Corgu again❤️Thanks Maria!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We are very happy to hear that Maria made your day in Corfu such a positive experience. It is wonderful that she was able to adapt the itinerary along the way and include Lakones Village while still helping you make the most of your time in Corfu Old Town. We also really appreciate your understanding regarding the traffic. During busy periods it can unfortunately affect travel times around the island, so we are glad Maria was still able to make the day enjoyable and worthwhile. We will be very happy to pass your lovely comments on to her — including your appreciation for the little Corfu gift at the end of the tour. Thank you again for choosing Corfu Union Transfers & Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Corfu again one day!

    Yes, do it

    Ruby was fantastic, great communication. Clear pick up information, beautiful comfortable van. Our groups #1 item on our list was the beach and we had a fabulous time, make sure to do the monastery as its stunning. We finished with a wander of Corfu near the port which was fantastic. Rubys directions to get back to the ship were clear and to be sure she sent is a pin so we could follow that. Thank you Ruby for your knowledge, passion and flexibility.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that Ruby made your time in Corfu so enjoyable. Clear communication and flexibility are especially important on a shore excursion, so it is lovely to know that she helped everything run smoothly from your pickup through to your return to the port. We are also glad you had the chance to enjoy Paleokastritsa, the monastery and some time exploring Corfu Town at your own pace. We will be very happy to pass your kind words on to Ruby. Thank you again for choosing Corfu Union Transfers & Tours, and we hope to welcome you back to Corfu in the future!

    Spectacular Private Beach and Boat Ride Experience in Corfu

    Booked this tour through Blue Tours in Corfu. Our tour was excellent. We had a group of 13. We were picked up right on time with a very nice, comfortable, clean van large enough for all of us. Our driver was very professional and went out of his way to arrange a private boat ride to a private beach, which was worth every penny. The entire group really enjoyed it. He then took us to the old town and gave us food recommendations. He waited for us and made sure we had transportation back to the ship. Communication from the company was excellent when booking the tour. They gave us many options to customize. Price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this tour. We were extremely satisfied.

    Excellent Communication

    Although we did not tour with this company, Blue Tours Corfu, due to our cruise itinerary being Changed, the communication we had with them & Vicky was exceptional. We have made inquiries with A large number of tour companies for our Europe trip and this company was by far the best not only for Communicating but value for money and being flexible for our needs. We only hope in the future we get the Opportunity to tour with them.

    Private Shore Excursion: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Shore Excursion: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town cost?

    +

    Prices start at $274 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: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town 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: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 11 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: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town?

    +

    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: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town 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: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town?

    +

    Around 4 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: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town 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.

    What is included in Private Shore Excursion: Paleokastritsa and Corfu Old Town?

    +

    Included: Transport by private, air-conditioned vehicle; and Private tour. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
