- Archaeological Site of Delos - Delos, a Greek island in the Cyclades archipelago of the Aegean Sea near Mykonos, is an archaeological site and the mythological birthplace of Apollo. It was a significant religious center and port in the 1st millennium B.C. The island’s ruins include Doric temples, markets, an amphitheater, houses with mosaics, and the famous Terrace of the Lions statues. The Archaeological Museum showcases statues unearthed from the site.
- Temple of Isis - Located up the hill behind the café and museum, the Temple of Isis is a 10-minute walk that is well worth the effort. It offers a tranquil atmosphere and stunning views, as it is less frequented by visitors to the island.

Excellent - They canceled my tour in Spanish at the last minute and placed me on one in English. Despite that, I enjoyed it a lot with a very complete guide, I think her name was Jhoanna ()

Amazing - Our guide was amazing. My only problem is the last 4 tours we have done. We have been pick up at our hotel or there was someone at the meeting point. We got there early and ran around looking for the Viator tour. I sent messages that we were there. I did not know we had to get our tickets, go on the boat, then the meeting point was on Delos. It started out crazy but ended up wonderful 😊

An excellent trip to Delos - The Delos trip was absolutely great. Nice weather and a very good guide. The tour was not very crowded and we were then only boat visiting at the time.
I had booked the ticket through Tripadvisor and when checking in at Mykonos they could not find the booking eventhough I had the tickets with me. In addition I paid a lot more through Tripadvisor than the a actual price which was 60 Euro pr pers. I paid 20% more than I should have done. I will never buy tickets through Tripadvisor again

Worth the trip to see the birthplace of Apollo - The tour of the island was very informative. Our guide ,'Angela', is also an archeologist . This made for a much better and deeper understanding of the structures we were seeing.The boat ride to and from the island is pleasant enough but be sure to get there early if you want a seat up top. After the tour, you are given free time to wander about on your own. BE WARNED- watch your time carefully as the boat leaves when they say they will and WILL leave you behind. We saw more than a few people running for the boat and making it just in time. Be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks as there are no vending machines or kiosks on the island. Be sure to wear a hat and use sun screen too as this is all outdoors. The museum was closed the day we went and that was a little dissapointing but the site itself is just amazing.

A must do - Done this trip yesterday in severe winds so was very choppy but that's no one's fault. Tour guide was good but the coms not great but I got the gist.
The island is just amazing esp as I did not know the history. Mind blowing in fact.
Only down side was that it was to short a visit. Maybe another hour added would be better.
A must see to anyone visiting the area

Delois trip - The guides microphone did not work. She was hard to understand. Heavy accent speaking English. The ruins were very nice.

False advertisement to Delos Museum - The experience to Delos was positive. The cost I paid was not. The museum is closed yet I paid for it and that portion should be reimbursed. We were told it’s been closed for two years so why are they charging us a service that will not be provided. I have yet received my reimbursement. This is false advertisement.

Great ruins, dirty and crowded boat, and insufficient filthy restrooms - The boat ride today to Delos from Mykonos was nice but the boat was very crowded. It also was not very clean. The ruins of Delos were wonderful and plentiful. The tour guide was difficult to understand with her accent, and she did the best she could with at least 40 people on our tour. I would’ve rather done a self-guided tour but that wouldn’t work as they were no signs or explanations of the ruins that were there. The restrooms were filthy and one was broken and they only had one toilet for women and one for men with crowds and crowds of people. It would be great if you could set up some Porta potty‘s and hand washing stations for the hundreds of tourists that you book on this trip.

Buy tickets at the port - Do not book this trip with this company. Save your money and buy your tickets at the Delos trip booth at the port. At the time of our trip, it was €60 pp for an English speaking guided trip. Add another €8 pp to get onto the boat to Delos. The experience of being on Delos was good itself. However, the $168.16 we paid for 2 people did not cover the boat ride to get to Delos or the entrance fee once on Delos, although that was said to be included in the description.

NO SUCH SCHEDULE DELOS DAY TRIP - Very dissatisfied and disappointed !
We plan this trip accordingly and when we showed up for the day trip, we were told that THERE IS NO SCHEDULED TRIP AT THAT HOUR.
NOTIFICATION was sent too late - you can’t make another arrangements anymore- your day is wasted specially if you schedule to come back to Mykonos only for the DELOS TRIP.
Time , money , accommodation is wasted , should have plan to stay in another island if that is the case.
YOU NEED TO REFUND OUR MONEY BACK RIGHT AWAY.
