He discussed the possible route (s)with us before heading out on a fantastic drive across to the north west side of Corfu and back. Marios was an excellent driver flexible with stops and starts for drink breaks and photo opportunities as we travelled from one beautiful and historic sight to another all while answering questions and sharing information.

Highlights such as the Achilleion Palace, Paleokastritsa Beach and the sights of Corfu city centre.

I highly recommend this experience if you want to see the beautiful side of Corfu from the highest points on the island. It's perfect for those who enjoy off-road travel and delicious homemade Greek food at a taverna situated in a truly remote location—definitely the best "in the middle of nowhere" restaurant I’ve ever visited. We enjoyed lovely natural scenery and comfortable travel throughout the journey.

The old town can be discovered on foot and it is pure bliss. We would reccommend looking at the Corfu Narratour app for a more immersice experiance and catch the local blue bus from the Liston (2a) to Kanoni for a few euros each.

Our private tour of Corfu was such a great day! George took us on a panoramic trip and to the most iconic landmarks of the island. He went above and beyond to make sure we experienced the most of Corfu beauty, history and culture. Visiting a family run olive oil factory and having a tasting was a great added bonus.

 This tour was great. Rosa was funny and personable and made sure we got to see everything we wanted. We went to Archilleom Palace, a monastery, Paleokastritsa and took a boat tour from there to swim at a private beach (not included in the price), and toured Old Town. My husband, siblings and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

He was very accommodating and always willing to spend extra time at a location if needed. The views during the tour were breathtaking, and the experience was much more relaxing than it would have been if I had driven on Corfu's narrow, winding roads myself!

It allowed us to taste the traditional food of Greece. There were 5 different food stops on our tour and each stop we were provided with big portions; this was right up my street. I have uploaded some photos but there were much more more! This was one of the highlights of our holiday and we will definitely recommend this to our friends/families when they visit Corfu.

So fun getting to know Shiva, he was a sweet boy who taught us a ton about the history around town. So lovely to give back (she donates all monies to helping to rescue all animals!), learn, hang out with other like minded people, and to get to pet and love on a dog at the same time. Highly  recommended!

Great for getting around but if its a busy day at the port, make sure you know where to go to get the bus. 

Our advice take the Kanoni Tour, and look at using the app Corfu Narratour as this has lots of walks you can do in the town and at  Mon Repo Palace, all written by the islands walking guru Hilary Paipeti, founder of the Corfu Trail.

Popular questions asked

Should I worry about missing my ship?

No. While cruise lines may suggest otherwise, our trusted tour operators are fully aware of your ship’s schedule and ensure you return with time to spare. One team member worked on cruise ships for 16 years—never once did a guest miss the ship due to an independent tour. 

Cost-Effectiveness and Value

One of the biggest advantages of independent shore excursions is the cost savings. Cruise lines often charge more, while independent operators offer better value, competitive prices, and a wider range of options to suit all budgets and interests. 

A Personalised and Diverse Experiences

Our partners offer a wide variety of tours to match all kinds of interests—whether you're into history, adventure, or local food. Unlike the typical cruise line itineraries, these independent excursions are more flexible and customisable, giving you a more personal and authentic experience. You'll have the chance to discover hidden gems and enjoy activities that big tour groups often miss.

Smaller Groups are the best

Smaller group sizes are a key benefit of independent shore excursions. With fewer people, tours feel more personal and allow for better interaction with guides and fellow travelers. You’ll move more efficiently, spend less time waiting, and enjoy more time at each stop—making the whole experience smoother, richer, and more memorable. 

Commitment to Safety and Satisfaction

A common myth is that independent shore excursions aren't as safe as those offered by cruise lines. In reality, our trusted partners prioritize your safety and satisfaction. Their experienced local guides follow strict safety protocols and understand the importance of getting you back to the ship on time. In fact, they offer a money-back guarantee if you’re late returning. This focus on reliability and customer care makes us a dependable choice for your shore adventures.  

Myth: Independent Excursions Are Risky

Cruise lines often claim independent shore excursions are risky, but local operators have proven themselves to be professional and reliable. With strong local partnerships and careful planning, they ensure smooth, well-organized experiences. Their focus on clear communication and coordination means you can relax and enjoy your excursion with confidence.

Myth: Limited Options and Availability

Contrary to the idea that independent excursions have limited options, our partners offer a wide range of tours across to various parts of the island. Their easy-to-use platform lets travelers book in advance, making planning simple and stress-free. Passionate local guides bring each place to life with expert knowledge, storytelling, and a personal touch. From hidden gems to local favorites, they offer a deeper, more authentic experience that goes far beyond the guidebooks.  

Conclusion

Booking independent shore excursions through our site comes with major perks—cost savings, personalized experiences, expert guides, and strong safety standards. Our trusted operators break the myths about independent tours, delivering memorable, hassle-free adventures. With us, you’ll explore each destination with authenticity, confidence, and a true sense of discovery.
