Christina Is Amazing!!!! - Our tour with Christina was amazing! She was fun, informative and generally just so helpful. She professionally managed some disrespectful behaviour from a few participants in our tour. I was impressed with her and the tour. She made me fall in love with Mykonos! Please take her tour!! ❤️❤️

Great informative tour - The tour Guide Christina was excellent in all respects...pleasant, informative and well spoken. It was regrettable that two other individuals in our small group of three were so rude to her. They complained about everything from the very beginning of the tour. I thought Christina was a Saint in how well she handled these people and kept her composure.

Great tour showcasing the whole island! - This tour showcased all parts of the island, both the upmarket tourist areas & very interesting residential areas. The most memorable part of the tour was our visit to the farm which produced their food & wine on-site. The meal & wine were fabulous but the best part was having the owner of the farm share his stories of the farm & his produce.

A Lovely Exploration - This is exactly what we wanted. We got away from the crowds of Old Port Mykonos to an organic farm, a number of excellent lookout/photo points along the West and South shores, and a close up of Ano Meara including the monastery there. Khrystina was an excellent, well-informed guide who allowed us to stop a little longer or a little less depending on what we wanted to do – excellent service. Highly recommend.

Sampling Mykonos - Our tour guide Christina was knowledgeable and personable. We saw some interesting sites and several beautiful beaches. She told some jokes and kept us engaged while we were traveling around the island.
The visit to her farm was interesting and the lunch served was quite tasty. There were options at different prices and there was ample wine included. We had the snack and were satisfied.
I would recommend this tour and tour guide to others.

Never Again - We missed connecting with the tour group due to the tour operator's poor instruction and communication.
On Thurs, July 4, we booked the 10:30am Fri, July 5 tour and inputted our preferred meeting point as "Mykonos Port". Viator's confirmation email read the pick-up was at the "Cruise Ship Pier, Cruise Ship Pier, Aegean Sea, Tourlos, Greece." No additional, more specific details were provided.
We arrived at the Cruise Terminal Pier from the cruise ship by tender at approximately 10:05am and searched for signage of the tour operator and asked different officials if they could direct us to the appropriate area for tour pickups. Ultimately, no one could help us and we did not find the tour operator.
At approximately 10:23am, after getting an internet connection, we messaged the tour operator using the link provided in Viator's confirmation email to advise we were at the pier trying to locate our driver. The tour operator did not respond to our message until 10:49am, and indicated they had waited for us until 10:40am and had departed, but we could pay a 39€ transfer fee to join the tour at a different location. We declined.
Subsequently, by messaging us through Viator (which we received by email), the tour operator stated they tried to call us by phone and WhatsApp (yet, not by email) the prior evening, and we had not responded.
(Note: The confirmation meeting point, "Cruise Ship Pier," was strong indication that we were traveling on a cruise ship, which often have unreliable internet; and contact by phone assumes we (1) had an internet package with sufficient bandwidth to receive calls and (2) use WhatsApp.)
We requested a refund since we missed the tour, which the tour operator refused by insisting that they tried calling us the prior night and we did not answer. Nevermind, we tried reaching them through Viator the morning of before the scheduled start time.
When seeking Viator's assistance to get a refund, they also declined by repeating that the tour operator tried calling us (no matter how unreasonable it was to rely solely on calls given the circumstances) and stated: "We kindly ask all clients to provide their preferred meeting point and location by 3:00pm the day before their scheduled tour or activity." We did not book the tour until 6:31pm the day before (which did not stop Viator from taking our reservation and our money). Additionally, we provided that our preferred meeting point was Mykonos Port, which was reflected as the "Cruise Ship Pier" in Viator's confirmation email.
Through it all, the tour operator and Viator placed all responsibility for this mishap squarely on us and refused to refund any portion of the tour fees.
For the above reasons, I gave the tour operator one star (because zero stars was not an option) and I will never use Viator (nor their parent, Trip Advisor) again.

Not a good business model - Celebrity diverted due to weather. We cancelled the tour immediately upon hearing about the diversion about 20 hrs notice vs 24 required. Viator nor the tour company will provide a refund. Think twice about booking.
