Delos is amazing - Excellent tour guide. Boat ride was easy on the way to Delos, a bit more exciting on the way back. Windy.

Choppy boat ride - Ran down to dock purchased tickets, jumped on boat and away we went. Boat ride out was a bit rocky headed out, we should’ve have sat outside and not inside to get some air to help with nausea. Arrived out to island, stunning. Tour guide gave us headphones so we could hear her. Tour was extremely informative, it was funnier than I actually thought it would be. Her commentary was interesting, and we laughed quite a bit. You could tell tour guide enjoyed her job, her enthusiasm was contagious. Learned all kinds of things about how the Greeks lived back thousands of years ago. Very windy out on island but made the best of it. Back on boat we went ride back was much worse, current and waves were strong. Felt nauseous again which is unbelievable cause I grew up on boats my whole life and have taken numerous rides on various oceans and never felt that bad but we got back to dock. Tour guide told me she has seen worse days going out there than we had. Would recommend this trip, a must do. So glad we went.

Highly recommend this excursion. - A trip to Delos is the main attraction of a visit to Mykonos. Very informative on the ancient Greek history. Our guide on this excursion gave an excellent tour. Informative of explaining to us what we were seeing, not just talking about the history (which we could read by ourselves in a book at home). Taught in an understandable manner, at a good pace - not hurried, but not plodding. A reasonable group size, smaller than many you see there. The boat trip to the island (on a larger boat) was pleasant. A good value for the excursion provided. Would highly recommend.

Amazing archeological site! - Our tour guide was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing Delos! We also appreciated the ferry ride to get there and back, as other tours offered sail boat rides, which would have made me very seasick!

Half day cruise to Delos. - The Delos half day tour on the Orca was well worth the money. A lot of history to learn about Delos and Ancient Greece. Our tour guide Liona was amazing. Very knowledgeable and had pictures to show to her group.

Lost in Translation - A must-see with an amazing history and beautiful ruins. However, the instructions of where to meet our guide and our guide herself was mediocre. We had no idea which boat to take and if we were on the right one. The instructions provided where not clear. They were no maps showing the exact location of what boat to catch, where to meet and who to meet. For example, the tour guides held up a sign of what tour company they were with but ours didn't so we had to ask various people, find out who was in our group and eventually, our guide showed up rounding up the people in her group. She seemed frazzled which I think she was because it seemed we were supposed to have another guide and she was their replacement. She would be talking in her language and it turns out she was on the phone. We could barely hear her because of the wind, the crowd and she would walk way ahead of us and some of us in the back could not hear her. So this tour sucked but Delos site was beautiful.

I would but I Wouldn’t Recommend - I would recommend this tour simply for the experience and history of Delos. It is much to be appreciated just to walk the land. However I would not recommend Viator. I was not pleased with booking and this wasn’t the first excursion I ran into with some concerns with their wording. The archaeological site is advertised as a separate OPTIONAL experience and therefore not included in price. However, once you check in at the Mykonos port, they don’t give you the option. You either pay the extra 8e or essentially don’t get a ticket for the ferry. Luckily for us, my group and I all planned on visiting the museum so we were prepared to pay the extra 64e however, for the one person that joined our group she wasn’t and it literally forced her hand as to whether she should still go since she had already paid the $90 for the tour. Furthermore she didn’t have any euros and they didn’t accept cards so that left a sour taste in both our mouths. I would also only recommend this trip during warmer months, if you get cold easily you’re going to hate this tour. We went in October, second week 16-21 and it was soooo windy and very chilly. Distracting type chilly so keep that in mind when considering to book. Viator needs to do better though. Not kool at all!

A Big Nothing - I was met by a driver who took me to the operator's ticket booth. However, no representative of the operator ever arrived at the booth. There was no boat, there was no guide, there was no tour. There was nothing. Nothing at all.
