GOOD Based on 528 reviews Ivana ZJune 18, 2025Verified Great tour and amazing crew! Great tour, the boat crew was amazing, the captain in particular! Kids, as well adults have been enjoying the tour! Recommend! Tina OJune 18, 2025Verified Worth It I got a last minute booking with this travel center to do the Paxos and Antipaxos trip. As a solo traveller I was a bit worried but they were so accommodating and encouraging. The trip itself was wonderful. Efficient, well informed and entertaining. There was ample space for people on the boat and great music for entertainment. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again when I am in Corfu again. I want to give a special shout out to Hammouda for being such a great host and super helpful. Edward NJune 17, 2025Verified Well worth booking if you're in the area Very friendly staff and crew. Took us to some very nice locations with plenty of time to enjoy before leaving. Well worth the price. Jacqueline FJune 8, 2025Verified Paxos cruise review We booked a trip to Paxos, Antipaxos and the blue caves with Adib from the Agios Georgios office. The trip was excellent but especially for the service we received from Adib. My friend cannot walk more than 15 steps at a time as she had a stroke 6 years ago - she wasn't able to walk to the pick up point so Adib picked us both up from our apartment and got us to the bus stop. THEN when we got off the bus at the end of the day, he took us back to our apartment. That is absolutely brilliant service which would not happen in England where we're from. The trip was amazing and I'm glad both of us got to go, thanks to the kindness of Adib. CavernguyJune 8, 2025Verified Great I went on 3 tours with this company. Each one was enjoyable and well organised . I found them to be reliable and very pleasant. I shall have no hesitation in booking with them again when I return to Corfu. N KJune 6, 2025Verified Ahmed and his team the best An unforgettable day thanks to Ahmed!We spent an exceptional day in Paxos and Antipaxos, and it would not have been the same without Ahmed, our guide. Thanks to him, the excursion was smooth and full of good humor. He knew how to share interesting anecdotes, take us to beautiful corners off the beaten track, and always with a smile! His kindness, professionalism and passion for the place have really made a difference. On top of that, what you speak, he speaks Dobre AJune 5, 2025Verified A wonderfull boat trip.

We booked three trips with them, one boat trip and two coach trips and they were run very well. Would definitely recommend. Mandy20May 29, 2025Verified Grand Tour, Corfu - 3.5 stars I joined a full 52 seater coach trip of the north of Corfu with a number of stops, covering a good expanse of Corfu. It was 10 hours long with some good stops but the length of it did leave me feeling tired. There are a couple of reasons I give it 3.5 stars - one is that although I joined an English speaking tour and there was an English speaking guide, I would say the bulk of the passengers were German, and the guide definitely preferenced German when talking about the stops. I understood a little of it - not enough to know what was said but enough to understand there was a lot more detail in the German and the English was more of an afterthought with less information. She was very well informed, just mostly in German. She even assumed I was German at one point when she addressed me directly. The other thing was some of the stops were rushed and it would be better to have less stops and more time. At Paleokastritsa for example, we had a one hour stop and there was a 45 minute boat trip which I would have liked, but it was a choice of that or everywhere else, and it was necessary to go straight to the boat if people wanted to do it. So I felt I had to miss out on that. Also, a couple of times on stops the guide was sharing maps and photos and sometimes didn't wait until we were all able to see which again felt a bit rushed. We then went for a lunch stop in the mountains with amazing views bur hair raising roads - eek - to a nice elevated restaurant - but again we had just over an hour for a 3 course meal which was rushed.Finally my main reason for going was to see Kassiopi, where I wanted to see the fortress and swim - but we only got about 40 or so minutes. This was disappointing as some trips offer a few hours in Kassiopi. I literally got a glance at the beach, found the fortress but couldn't go in, and had to go back to the coach stop. The saving grace was that I saw the swallows (or swifts, I am never sure which they are) nesting outside a shop, lots of them, with fat little babies almost ready to fly the nest :-). I would say - a couple less stops and less rushing for this trip to get 5 stars, and I'd add that pick up time was prompt.
