We had a great experience with Blue Tours and our guide Fay, on Blue Tours' 3.5-hour Food and History Walking tour in Old Corfu Town.
The experience with Blue Tours began even before we arrived in Corfu on the Island Princess cruise ship. When I first contacted Blue Tours to arrange the tour, Vicky responded immediately, as she did to every email I sent. She was very friendly and helpful throughout the process and always went above and beyond to assist us.
The walking tour was scheduled to begin near the Old Fortress at 10:00 am, and when I expressed concern to Vicky about the availability of taxis at the port in the middle of the morning for the 4 couples to get to the tour starting point, she graciously offered for a van to pick us all up at the port at a very reasonable price.
One of the food tastings was at a shop in the Jewish Quarter, and when I asked Vicky if we could stop to see the synagogue there, she made sure that Fay included it in our itinerary and explained the history of the Jewish community in Corfu.
Fay was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. She interwove stops at historical sites (with narratives about the significance of those sites to Corfu's history) with numerous stops for delicious food tastings (which included stops for local pies, Greek cheeses and cold cuts - including Noumboulo Fumicado, kumquat liqueur, ginger beer, a Pastitsada entree at a small taverna, several tastings at a chocolate and candy shop, and finally gelato for dessert). No one left the tour hungry!
We were all thrilled with Fay and our tour experience. I highly recommend using Blue Tours for any tour when you come to Corfu.
