Great all on one tour - Great tour that covers all of the photo stops, too bad that's it's fairly short, but that's pretty much what all the cruisers have. The guide was very informative and friendly.

Okay tour, wonderful tour guide - Our guide was wonderful, and we loved learning about the local culture from her. (I forget her name -- maybe Alexandria? She's British and has lived in Greece for many years.) But, to be honest, I think you'd be better off just taking the shuttle bus or shuttle boat from the cruise ship to the main tourist area in Mykonos town and spending the time there. I didn't think the other stops on this tour were particularly worth it. The time spent at Ano Mera village wasn't nearly long enough (basically just a bathroom stop and time to buy something at one shop -- I would have liked to explore it more), and the lighthouse wasn't particularly special. (Especially since the bus driver got the bus stuck on the small roads, and we ended up having to wait for a replacement to be sent.) Kalafati Beach was beautiful (I loved the gorgeous water!), but again, the stop was super short. Afterward, I could see why a lot of people online say not to bother with a tour excursion in Mykonos.

Delays....Delays... - The tour started 35 minutes after scheduled start time and construction on roads caused another 25-30 minutes of delays. The guide was knowledgeable but we seemed rushed throughout the tour.

Not bad, but... - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. The best part of the tour was the walking portion. The riding portion was ineffective because it was to hard to hear and see the sights as the bus was driving. It was the longest portion with not much benefit. For the price, it was a B+.

No number to call and cancel - I couldn't get a hold of you to cancel. I fractured my wrist the day before and couldn't go aboard the ship's tender. There was no number to reach you at. Terrible for me and to try not to get charged
