An excellent way to see the key locations from the Durrells (and it effectively doubles up a wider tour of Corfu’s history as you travel through the old town and countryside with a knowledgeable guide). An excellent mix of walking tour through the old town, visiting key locations from the series, a refreshment stop in Danilia village, seeing the donkey and other animals used in the Durrells and then the fantastic views from Mon Repos. Unrushed and with a very comfortable air conditioned minibus. Would strongly recommend.

Guide Nina and driver Spiro took me and 4 friends on a four hour ride around Corfu that was excellent. Nina pointed out Strawberry House and other residences and landmarks on the beautifuk island associated with the Durrell's. We also saw the sites connected to Spiros, their friend and taxi driver, and Dr. Stephanides, who was their family friend and who mentored young Gerry Durrell. We were taken high into the Corfiot hills where we looked down over the sea and over to Albania. There were several filming sites, including the beach and shallow water where the Durrell's are shown in the t.v. series to be seated at their table having their dinner with their feet in the sea. It was a perfect afternoon and we all considered ourselves very fortunate to have taken this private tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Durrell's story although was not aware that the village was closed on Monday's. Missing that was disappointing but certainly not the leaders fault. Our ship was in port on a day things were closed

Very relaxing tour. Even if you're not a fan of the show or seen it, you can still enjoy the real life story of the Durrells. You'll still see alot of cool places in Corfu. Great tour!

The filming of the Durrell series took place on Corfu but only for the outside scenes, all inside scenes were filmed in the UK. The guide pointed out the buildings where scenes were filmed, but those were often far away and on private property. We did get to walk along the sea where some scenes were filmed (take shoes that can get wet, which the guide thankfully told us bout pre-tour). The tour was described as “On average, this experience will take approximately 4h.” However, our tour was only 3 hours and that is only because the guide, Amanda, stretched out the tour. She often had to refer to her notebook so perhaps this is a new tour. The views were delightful but the tour was a disappointment.
