Fantastic Mykonos Half Day Tour!! - This island tour was AMAZING! Our tour guide Iro was phenomenal!! She was a wealth of information about Mykonos. We made several stops for some great pictures! We saw a really cool lighthouse, fed some donkeys, explored some villages, spent some time at Agarari Beach, and ventured through the maze of walkways in Mykonos Town and made our way to the windmills in Little Venice. I highly recommend this tour! We all agreed it was one of the highlights of our 3 week tour of Europe.

Great tour - I can not express enough about how excellent this tour was. If all of their operators are like Illana(the guide) and Dimitris(the driver), then you can not go wrong. It was worth every penny paid. The driver was extremely courteous, helping us in/out of the jeep, and ensuring the temp was comfortable for us. Illana was completely knowledgeable about the entire island, people, culture. She had a great explanation for all of our questions.

Thanks Viator - Unfortunately our ship cancelled our stop on Mykonos the night before we were supposed to arrive. Although we did not cancel 24 hours in advance, we were still refunded the cost of the tour. Thanks so mich!

SIMPLY AMAZING - It’s not very often you get to truly “rave” about something anymore, but Vasili and Petra were absolutely brilliant. The tour honestly feels like it’s built around each group of guests. We were given so much information and were treated like family. They ensured that we saw what was important and skipped the smaller things to ensure that we got everything we wanted done, and still had a great experience. TAKE THIS TOUR!!!

Private Half Day Mykonos Insider Tour with Hotel Pickup - The tour guides were very helpful and we got to see a lot of the island we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was a good mixture of sightseeing and relaxing on the beach. We got some great photos!

The best time! - Melissa was our guide and Helena was our driver. They were punctual, professional, and personable. We were able to customize our tour and saw the best of Mykonos. It was my birthday and Melissa and Helena were so sweet to surprise me with some cake and a birthday song playing on the speakers when we came back to the van. This tour was the best part of our trip for sure and made us feel like we got to see Mykonos through the eyes of a local. Thank you Melissa and Helena for a memorable time! We truly enjoyed ourselves!!!!

Wonderful personalized tour - What a wonderful day. Like many others, we took this tour as an alternative to what our cruise ship was offering. Our guide (George) meet us as planned on the dock where the tenders disembark. After a nice walking tour of the city, off we went to explore the island. I found George to be a knowledgeable and friendly guide. George was great at detailing the history and importance of every location we visited. During the tour, we found out this was George’s last tour as he moving on to a new chapter in his life. Good luck George as a seafarer. I would like to especially thank George for the personal attention and small gift you gave us to remember the island by. If arriving on a cruise ship, I would highly recommend this private tour versus a crowded ship tour.

Perfect day in Mykonos - We spent a lovely half day touring the island with Renata and Costas. Really enjoyed learning more about Mykonos. We had a terrific lunch at Lokka before heading back to the ship. Highly recommend this dynamic duo!
