The Governor Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting

George was a hoot! Once he got onto his area of passion, he was amazing. We learned so much & it was super fun. I'd say it's "recommended reading" for anyone using olive oil for any reason. The countryside was also beautiful.

10 out of 10! To start, George was really easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and came straight to the meeting point. Although it's a good 30-40 minutes to the olive mill, we were entertained the entire time. George's english is excellent and he's got a fun sarcastic side to him. First we went to this old fortress and then we took us to the oldest olive tree on the island (~1300 years old). Then we arrived at the mill. It was so interesting learning about a product I use every day but apparently knew nothing about. The olive oil was fantastic and we got to taste it with bread, cheese and tomatoes. Plus we got to drink George's uncles homemade wine. Which was fabulous. We bought a bottle along with a bottle of the olive oil. In retrospect, we should've bought a few more bottles and given them as gifts. In the end, George's Dad took my wife and I back to the port with plenty of time to grab a couple souvenirs and make it back on the ship. I spoke to a few other people on our ship about their experience in Corfu and everyone was so jealous of our excursion. Plus this was 50% less expensive than all of the cruise excursions! If you love learning, history, tasty food, tasty wine, amazing olive oil and supporting a beautiful family and their business, then definitely book this.

My family had a great tour at The Governor Olive Mill with George. Very informative and interesting. Even my 11 year old grandson enjoyed the tasting and tour.

Our group of four had such a wonderful experience with this tour. George picked us up from our cruise ship and took us on a scenic journey through the small towns and winding roads of Corfu to get to his family's olive farm. We learned so much about olive oil and loved tasting the products. George was kind enough to show us different sights along the way like the breathtaking views from high up as well as a 900 year old olive tree by an old castle. This was truly a one of a kind experience that we will be remebering forever. Thanks George!!

We love Gorg and his family. One of the best tours you can do on Corfu. Wonderful tour and hospitality. Thank you so much!!!!

George was an outstanding host. It was fun, informative, and educational. Fabulous olive oil. We highly recommend the tour. They are a wonderful family with a delightful 86 yr old grandfather.

Great host facility, informative and entertaining - A bit rustic ride over the island, still scenic - Wonderful stories and most of all, the oil! Still enjoying oil and the special Governor's bottle!

This was the best tour of our whole trip. We only had a few hours in Corfu and this took up all of the time but I still say Corfu was one of my favorite stops. George is knowledgeable, passionate and funny about olive oil, the history of Corfu and the current affairs of the area. The tasting was delicious with the added bonus of extras made by mother then we got to meet mother and other members of the family. If I ever make it back to Corfu I will be taking this tour to The Governor again.

A very well organized tour. George, our tour guide was an excellent driver and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and had a great sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend this tour.Mark & NinaRacine, WI USA

I can't say enough about how terrific this tour was. 6 members of our group attended this small group tour, led by George. The personal details that he gave us about his family, the history of the Governor Olive Mill, and information about the production of olive oil was unlike any tour I have ever taken. My husband and I appreciated the personal touches he provided we were stunned to learn that the delicious foods we enjoyed during our olive oil tasting were prepared for us by his Mother. We were touched and thrilled to have the opportunity to meet and thank her personally - and felt honored to have met his grandfather as well. This was the highlight of a 3 week vacation that included many tours and locations around Europe, and one that we would recommend to anyone who visits this area. I can't imagine anyone doing a better job or giving a more complete and enjoyable experience than George!
