Time Constraints
Travelers on the Corfu Shore Excursion and City Tour faced several time constraints throughout their journey. Despite the promise of a comprehensive tour, the limited time allocated for shopping opportunities left many disappointed. At each stop, there was barely enough time to take in the sights, let alone browse through local shops and purchase souvenirs.
Delays were also an issue, further exacerbating the time management challenges. Departure times were often delayed due to the guide assisting others in and out of a church, and ship clearance issues caused a 30-minute setback.
