All of our guided Vespa tours are now offered as private experiences only. This means the tour is just for you and your travelling companions — creating a relaxed pace, personal attention and the feeling of exploring Corfu with friends rather than joining a large group.

We are proud of our selection of tours around Corfu Island. Every Vespa tour is different, with an exceptional focus. With us, you will always find what you are looking for. We know your time is precious, and we will ensure you have a lifetime experience. The basic Vespa rental includes our Corfu Vespa Map. Our map has nothing to do with the classic idea of road maps. It is fully customised and includes, among others, four preprogrammed routes that you can follow!
🔰Go off the beaten path.
We don't want to give you a tour. We want to provide you with an adventure that you won't forget. It is an experience that shows you the sights tourists don't usually see easily. Renting a scooter is an ideal touring option during hot summer days. Vespa is the perfect way to get around Corfu, tour the side streets and areas that aren't accessible by bus, and, most importantly, you can park close to your attraction. Riding around the countryside through the traditional villages of Corfu on Vespa scooters along scenic country roads will provide a refreshing breeze while admiring the island's sights, smells, flavours, and sounds!
🔰Enjoy "the good life."
The solid Italian (Venetian) influence remarkably impacted the island's gastronomy - cuisine, landscape, and architecture. Why not add an essence of "Dolce Vita" to your life during your holidays in Corfu by riding an Italian icon, an original Vespa scooter? In Italian, la dolce vita translates as "the sweet life" or "the good life". La dolce vita means a life of pleasure and simple luxury. It's about enjoying the good things in life and indulging in the things you love.
“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.”

Our Story
Dear Traveller, Hello!
Welcome to our Corfu Vespa® world!
We are Nikolaos and Katerina, owners and founders of Corfu Vespa Tours and Rental.
On this page, we share a little more about our journey, our people, and the story behind our Vespa experience. We hope it helps you get to know us better — and perhaps feel a little closer to the island we call home.
How Corfu Vespa Was Born
Corfu Vespa Tours is the first and only company offering original Vespa® Tours and Vespa® Scooter Rental services across the island.
The company was founded in December 2017 by Nikolaos Doukakis.
Nikolaos was born and raised in Corfu to an Austrian mother and a Greek father. At the age of 15, he left his family home and moved to Vienna, where he completed his studies and earned a degree in Welding Materials Science and Metallurgy. For the next nine years, he worked as a Welding Technician for ZWP–TÜV SÜD Austria.
In November 2015, after falling in love with a local girl, Nikolaos returned to Corfu. He initially worked at his family’s small beachfront pension hotel, but soon felt the need to create something of his own — a tourism business that would offer authentic, meaningful experiences and truly reflect the culture and character of the island.
One of his first priorities after returning home was simple: getting some wheels. And for him, only a Vespa would do.
Not long after purchasing his Vespa, the idea was born — the idea of sharing the joy of exploring Corfu in an alternative way: riding an original Vespa scooter, discovering places beyond the usual routes, and experiencing the island at a human pace.
“We aim to go off the beaten path and offer our guests a unique, fun way of touring that truly reflects Corfu and its culture — inspired by the spirit of authentic Greek hospitality.”
Nikolaos Doukakis
Owner and Founder
Behind the Scenes
Hello — I’m Katerina.
I’m the “local girl” mentioned above 😊
From the very beginning of the Corfu Vespa concept, I have been working quietly behind the scenes, supporting the idea and helping shape what Corfu Vespa is today. I created our websites, our custom sightseeing map, and our tour itineraries, always with the traveller’s experience in mind.
Together with Nikolaos and a dear friend who came from Austria to help us, we renovated our office by hand — painting, fixing, cleaning, and shaping it into a space that truly reflects who we are. It was hard work, but we are incredibly proud of the result.
I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Business in Tourism, and for more than 13 years I worked across all levels of the hotel and restaurant industry — from service roles to fine dining and management. This journey gave me a deep understanding of hospitality from the inside out.
During the COVID period, life unexpectedly offered me a gift: time. I stepped away from the hotel industry and began teaching at the Vocational School of Tourism Professions in Corfu. In 2021, Nikolaos and I decided it was time for me to join Corfu Vespa full-time.
Today, you will most likely find me:
• replying to your messages
• welcoming you at our office
• cleaning and polishing the Vespas
• carefully disinfecting helmets
• updating our websites and sightseeing tips
In our free time, we enjoy long walks with our dogs, I practise yoga, and Nikolaos rides his dirt bike. And during the quieter winter months, we love rediscovering different corners of Corfu — just like travellers do.
"My favourite moment is always when our riders return at the end of the day — a little sun-kissed, happier, and with a light in their eyes that wasn’t always there at pick-up time. That sparkle, that sense of freedom and connection to the island…
That is my greatest reward.."
Katerina Alamanou
Co-Founder
