Must-do in Syros - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Syros which is saying a lot as it was an amazing visit! The tour explored secret alleys and nooks of Syros while we learned about history, architecture, migration, trade and industry - then and now. Tonia was an exceptional tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, connected with us, and tailored the tour based on our interests. Regardless of the length of your stay in Syros, this is a must-do experience. Can’t recommend it more!
