Amazing tour from Athens to Mykonos! - Incredible tour from Athens to Mykonos. Our tour guide, Yanna, was very organized and informative. We also learned about Greek history and its philosophers. The tour pace was good and left time for personal exploring of the town. With all honesty, Mykonos is difficult to travel to for the first time alone. Very few taxis, not straight forward transportation through the island, etc. Without doubt, I recommend this tour.

Excellent Excursion - Our family just returned from a day long outing to Mykonos via ferry. It was a wonderful visit that was well organized. The ferry operation was first class. A special thank you to Yanna who coordinated not only pick ups and drop offs, but also conducted an interesting walking tour of the city center. We opted for the optional beach time next to a selected restaurant where we enjoyed a tasty lunch. All in all, a long day, but well worth it.

Worth the trip!! - We just did this tour yesterday, and it was wonderful!! Yanna was very helpful and informative! Leaving all the logistics on how to get there and come back is the best part as we focused on exploring Mykonos at our own pace after Yanna's orientation guided walk. Lots of photos and shopping could be done in ample time before returning back with the last ferry.

Beautiful island - Our guide Yannis was very friendly, showed us around the island landmarks, and made sure we knew where to meet at all transfer points. We also had several hours to explore on our own.

AWESOME - Yanni was AWESOME. The assistance and support provided before, during and after the tour was outstanding. She made us so very comfortable and ensured all our needs were met. I recommend the tour but more importantly ask for Yanni. Thank you so very much.

Full Day Mykonos Excursion - My spouse and I enjoyed Mykonos as our first Greece honeymoon excursion and were not disappointed! Despite later hearing that the island is known for being expensive and party heavy, we felt like our guide Ioanna kept us on the "right" path and knew where we would be taken care of without getting hit in the wallet! Exploring the windmills and beautiful town, and then getting to eat, drink, and swim at a beachside restaurant with idyllic sun and crystalline waters was an experience we will always remember. Just be ready to wake up bright and early and then recharge after you return; the ferry rides and the drives to and from the port made for a long day!

Good day! - The tour commenced at half 5 in the morning and concluded at 10 in the eve with plenty of transfers in between. Loanna (our guide) for the day managed it exceptionally well. What impressed me was the personalised attention that she gave everyone- pretty much went from person to person to explain the plan as we were seated in different places in the cruise. Overall had a great time with plenty of pics. Highly recommended!

Mykonos 2023 Was nothing but fun and amazing views. The beach option is a must!!! - Our girls trip to Greece was fantastic. One of our stops was a daily tour trip to Mykonos we had an amazing time. Our tour guide Ioanna was the best 👌 she talked to us about the area, translated as much as possible and was extremely kind and friendly. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a fun and exciting experience in Mykonos. We had so much fun, met new friends and had a very fun trip back to our Hotel.
