Corfu Attractions Guided Shore Excursion: Private Tour for Up to 15 Guests
Discover the beaches, monasteries, and flavors of one of Greece's most beloved islands in a single half-day journey.
This Corfu shore excursion offers a well-rounded introduction to the island, combining natural landscapes, historic religious sites, a world-class museum, and a stop at a local deli for authentic Corfiot products. Designed for cruise passengers and hotel guests alike, the tour runs for five and a half hours with comfortable private vehicle transport throughout. No strenuous walking or climbing is required at any point.
A professional, licensed, English-speaking guide leads every step of the experience with full narration, providing historical and cultural context at each location. The itinerary covers the island's most celebrated highlights while remaining flexible enough to accommodate individual interests.
