Corfu's history through the eyes of a knowledgeable local

Published on Sep, 2024

Maria, my guide, was born and raised in the old town of Corfu and knows it intimately. She guided me through the labyrinth of winding streets and alleys to show me historical and architectural features I never would have found. We started at the Old Fort, where the views, even on an unusually windy day, were spectacular, and then made our way through the old town. As she learned what I was particularly interested in, Maria incorporated those interests into the tour. This is a tour for anyone who is looking for local knowledge, lots of history, and plenty of opportunities for photographs.

Amazing experience with expert guide

Published on Aug, 2024

This was an amazing experience!! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history. She gave a great overview of Corfu, the important spots, and the historical context. I typically only use Context Travel for the higher quality guides, but context does not operate this area. I 100% think this could be a context travel level tour. Great option for anyone in Corfu that wants to know more about the multitude of history here.
