olive oil half day
family run business. we felt like a member of the family! very interesting and the olive oil was amazing. we did this because our boat excursion cancelled due to the weather and we ended up being even happier that we had this experience. the best!

Olive Oil Tasting experience
Firstly, the olive oil was excellent. It is a family owned generational grove/mill and they are very passionate about their product and its heritage. We enjoyed listening to the story of the mill’s past and present, and especially enjoyed visiting (and climbing!) the “Mother Tree”. The only suggestion I would make is that there be benches available for sitting while listening to the 30 minute +/- presentation.

Corfu's Best Olive Oil Tour
We are on our honeymoon in Corfu and we had such a wonderful experience at The Governor Olive Mill and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Corfu! Our tour guide, Dimitrius, was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, engaging and clearly passionate about the history and his love of story telling. We learned so much throughout the experience, and the olive oil tasting itself was really interesting (and delicious!). A special mention also has to go to Sotirius, who provided our transportation and also guided us during the portion of the tour where we visited the incredible Mitera tree. He was so friendly and welcoming and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Visiting the ancient Mitera tree was definitely one of the highlights for us. It’s amazing to stand beside something with so much history, and learning about the olive-growing traditions of Corfu made us appreciate the island (and olive oil) even more. Everything felt personal, informative and relaxed, and both Dimitrius and Sotirius made us feel very welcome. One of our favourite experiences in Corfu and absolutely worth doing!

Nice day learning about olives and olive oil
Great learning about how olive oil was made in the past and now, and all of the many health benefits. The tastings were well done. The trip to see the trees and the old fort were also interesting. Glad we chose this excursion.

FAB -U -LOUS!!
We were the De Bono hotel pickup couple today. It was fabulous. Our guide and driver, Spiridos I think, was superb. Brilliant driving, engaging, polite and he made a superb tour guide for the second part of the tour to Mitera. Truly wonderful experience, thanks to a fine young man.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $78 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 The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 530 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Corfu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting?
+
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 The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting?
+
Around 186 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting 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.
