Korfu: Malerische Insel-Panoramatour – Dein 8h Traumtag!

Dies war eine gute Erfahrung mit der Zeit zum Schwimmen und Erkunden von Gaios. Es war eine längere Bootsfahrt als erwartet, aber die Besatzung und die Einrichtungen waren gut.

Leider wurde die von mir gebuchte Grand Island Tour abgesagt, da nicht genügend Teilnehmer anwesend waren. Ich konnte an keinem anderen Tag an der Tour teilnehmen, aber die Firma war sehr hilfreich bei der Organisation einer privaten Tour, damit ich die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten rund um Korfu zu einem sehr vernünftigen Preis sehen konnte. Danke noch einmal!

Really good tour. Visited loads of places with a good English speaking guide. It was well organised. Beautiful sites visited. Owners pachis travel were very helpful and went the extra mile.

Great experience indeed. The guide tour Maria was very brilliant with her commentary. And the diver very calm and careful in driving us to 300 metres above the sea-level and through those tiny roads through the villages in the mountains. The paranomic view of the city was serene indeed. Hopefully next tome we have time to take pictures from the very top of the mountain for only those with brave hearts. We really enjoyed ourselves and a wonderful gift from my wife on my birthday. Thank you so much guys.

Bus trip was good…places we visited were lovely spots, just a shame we couldn’t understand the English of our guide. The quality of the food of restaurant they took us to for lunch let the tour down.

Forgive me if I'm being a little picky, but the coach picked us up very late from a location about 10 minutes walk from our hotel - the other trip we did managed to pick us up from the hotel. We almost gave up waiting, especially as we couldn't get through to anyone at the office. Thankfully, we'd already called a couple of days earlier to confirm and were told our pick up was between 10.30-10.40am, not 8am as on the ticket, otherwise we'd definitely have given up long before 11am when the coach finally arrived. The delay was probably due to four very ignorant passengers firstly making us all wait 15 minutes at the Achilleon Palace, then after waiting another 20 minutes at Paleokastritsa we set off without them. Somehow they were on the coach after our next stop at Bella Vista as the coach driver had undoubtedly gone back to try to find them. I was very ashamed to be the same nationality (British), especially as everyone else managed to get back on time even though for many, their first language wasn't English. Unfortunately, waiting at the gates of the Mon Repos palace set off my hayfever, which got gradually worse all day, so it was a relief to get back to the hotel to be honest. That said, it was an incredibly hot day (nearly 40C) and our guide did his best under the circumstances, although he got off while we were in the north of the island, making the last part basically dropping people off as the driver didn't speak much English. To finish with a good point, he was an excellent driver, navigating small roads and hairpin bends very well.

Booked this through the hotel rep, this is an all day excursion with a Greek guide, his grasp of English was good enough with some descriptive words he liked using a lot, which made the commentary quite entertaining. The first hour was driving to pick-up points for the other travellers, where we swapped coaches and finally got on our way. Several sightseeing stops – Blue lagoon, Monastery on the hill, restaurant lunch stop (though expensive and our numbers made it rushed, so we popped into the restaurant next door which was empty and had great views), obviously the tour earnt some commission. The Achillion Palace with extensive gardens and finally the factory where cumquat liquor is made, more commission. An ok trip, I got some nice photos.

Comprehensive tour of island incorporating main tourist attractions. Winding aimlessly through unspoilt countryside and small villages plus seeing small coves and panoramic landscapes. Excellent guide

I appeared to be lumped into a tour group that was mostly from the hotels in the northern part of the island. I was the last pickup at around 11:00, so I never got the tour of the Old Town since they did that section on their way to pick me up. The guide was good, the bus driver very capable, the bus a little dated. The sites are worth seeing, but since the last part of my tour was dropping guests off in the northern hotels, I spent the last part of my tour passing by some rather uninteresting places.

Our pick up was 4o mins late and the day then went downhill from this point. We eventually picked a guide up in Corfu town, he was knowledgable but it was all a bit chaotic and seemed to be poorly organised. Stops were short and no real clear time line given as to when we were to be back in the coach. At our lunch stop our party of 2 were told we had to change coaches (to get us back to the pick up at a reasonable time) This turned out to be a good change. We made a number of stops but these were often too short or not long enough. Overall a full day out but spent far to long on the coach rather than at the points of interest
