Corfu - Private Tours

[sarar]

Can anyone suggest any private tours to use while in Corhu, as the ships excursions are so expensive?

 

Thanks

If you really want to experience the real Corfu and not just look at some touristy places, then you can't go past Dimitris Dafnis. Dimitris is the principal of a group of taxi/guides called Corfu Private Taxi Tours. From reading other postings, all his drivers seem to have a great reputation, but if you book early enough, you will get Dimitris himself.

 

His English, his E-class Mercedes car and his appearance are all impeccable. He is absolutely passionate about "his" island and just loves to show it all.

 

4 of us did a tour with him in May and had the most wonderful day. We travelled over 100 miles and had a great overview of the island. He covered everything we could think of - olive groves (where we had to stop and smell the wild herbs), beaches (it wasn't swimming weather), cottage industries, several small villages, churches, a famous taverna, olive press museum, places with great views and finally the town. We saw so much that I have probably forgotten lots.

 

It seems that anywhere in Greece a private taxi tour will cost 40 euro an hour. This becomes more affordable if you can get another couple (possibly from your Roll Call) to share.

 

Corfu is really beautiful - you will love it.

We rented a brand new car for 60 euros and drove all over. It's really very easy.
