The experience

Three and a half hours means you move through the Old Town at a pace that lets you stop, taste and listen. The guide takes you past the Palace of Saint George and Archangel Michael, now the Museum of Asian Art, to talk about the British influence on Corfu, then walks the Liston, the most beautiful pedestrian street in the city. You taste the dishes locals eat every day, not restaurant versions made for tourists, and drink a toast with local wine. The sounds matter too: the church bells, the birds, the speech of the streets, maybe a trombone drifting through a window.

St. Spyridon Church is the most important religious site on the island, and the guide introduces you to the customs that shape Corfu's spiritual life. The Old Fortress gives the history of the place in physical form. You get an introduction to Corfu's past through what stands in front of you. Lunch is included, built from what you've tasted along the way. The route covers the monuments that matter, and the guide is licensed and speaks English.

Is this one for you?The tour is shared and led by a guide, so you move as a group through the Old Town at a set pace. This works well if you want someone to explain the history and customs as you taste, rather than exploring on your own or sitting in a restaurant for a longer meal.
