“Mystical Mykonos - Our guide was very knowledgeable about her island. We saw many things including a monastery, a family church and had a lovely meal at a local organic farm restaurant. Mykonos is very quirky-the streets are very narrow and there are no traffic lights on this island. Practically every family has their own church.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-03

“An Unforgettable Road Trip - Our guide Leo met us at the port right on time. We went to many different places around Mykonos. All around the island from the north to Ano Mera, Santa Anna, Ornos and Paradise Beach, including a stop at a monastery. The tour ended at Mykonos Town, the tourist centre of the island. Leo was very attentive and kind and very knowledgeable & passionate about the history and people of Mykonos. There were lots of opportunities for photos. Every stop more breathtaking than the previous. You can tour the whole island with Leo. If you’re looking for something off the beaten track and away from large bus tours, I highly recommend this private tour!!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-22
