The island hopping part of the trip features a picturesque route, initially leading to the Lighthouse where you’ll pause briefly to soak in the view of Delos and other nearby islands. From there, the journey proceeds to the stunning Kalafatis beach with another brief halt, following which you’ll head for the Ano Mera village. You’ll be given ample leisure time to explore the quaint square encompassed by traditional taverns or to pay a visit to the 16th-century Panagia Tourliani Monastery.

The trip carries on with a walk around the Mykonos Town, meandering through the narrow lanes lined with cube-shaped whitewashed residences, providing a glimpse into the stunning Cycladic fishing village of yore. The Town tour’s highlights include brief pauses at the renowned Windmills, Little Venice, and the eminent Paraportiani Church.

Great walking tour of the city - This was a good way to see Mykonos. We walked through the town to see the sights. I recommend you stay with the guide alll the way to end as we got to see more. She gave us good recommendations for food and lots of information.

Best Tour and Tour Guide Ever - From beginning to end, this tour was one of the best we have ever done. The tour guide is always the deciding factor on whether a tour is great or mediocre. We had the best! Andrea was so much fun, so knowledgeable and overall one of the best tour guides that we have ever had. Highly recommend! Mykonos is beautiful and loved seeing behind the scenes with a local.

Great orientation of the island - The bus was there promptly to pick us up. Her guy spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable of the area. Bus driver had awesome driving skills and was able to maneuver us in places I didn’t think we’d be able to get to. The lighthouse was interesting and provided excellent views of the surrounding islands. Highly recommend the old bakery, the Baklava was some of the best I’ve ever had.

Concise and convenient - The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She was clear about time limits at stops and what was coming up. On the walking part of the tour, ;she was clear about the upcoming sights which allowed people to drop from the tour if they wanted to spend more time at a particular location rather than continue on the walk.

Mykonos cruise excursion - Guide was good and took good care of us. Mykonos was interesting to see but just OK in my opinion for touring. More a vacation spot and party place than an island with fascinating sites to see. Views from high points were quite beautiful.

Enjoyable & interesting Tour - Very beautiful town with interesting spots & streets. We enjoyed the walk in the town. Like the Windmill, Little Venice & Church of Paraportiani. Did not join the bus tour to the country side due to personal reasons. Tour guide Christina was efficient & professional. had a wonderful mean in the town.

Excellent day in Mykonos - Started off a little difficult due to ship coming in at a different port and not being able to find the tour guide. We went with another tour group who brought us to the correct guide. Once with correct guide the excursion was wonderful.
