Open air Museum - An interesting & large UNESCO site which is in various stages of being excavated & reconstructed. A museum on the Island of Delos houses the original artifacts & it is well set out. We liked the leaflet that indicted various routes/a map around the island showing where things were & how long it would take you to walk there. Very useful for us as we did not take a guided tour. Really worth visiting. We caught the boat over in the afternoon when it was slightly cooler & no queue for the boat. We noticed that the morning boat/s over had very very long queues. Also, we sailed backed between 6.30pm & 7.00pm & were able to watch the beautiful sunset- an added benefit! Wear a sun hat & suntan lotion, take water& wear covered shoes in case of snakes & it has uneven surfaces. Highly recommend a visit.

Teachers make the best guides - Nicolaus’s background as a history teacher truly showed. Very intelligent and knowledgeable guide. Would highly recommend him.

Fascinating Island! - Excellent excursion!
Delos is very interesting and unique. The history is so different from other archaeological sites we have visited. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. You need a guide for this site. I have mobility issues, so this was difficult for me, but very much worth it. The ferry ride to and from the island was a beautiful and relaxing trip. The ferry, at the Mykonos end, is located in an area that is pedestrian only. A few years ago, I would barely have noticed the walk, but now, especially at the end of the tour, I did find it very difficult. Our driver was excellent and even convinced security to allow him to drive a little way into the pedestrian zone to assist me.
Overall, driver and guide were both fantastic.
Finding our driver when we left our ship was quick and easy, and we returned to our ship with plenty of time to spare before departure.

History lives within. - History really lives within. Visiting this sacred time is a must do, if you visit Mykonos for a few days, since the island is only accessible by Mykonos. Detailed guided tour amongst Ancient Greek heritage.
Better have comfortable shoes, a bottle of water and a hat with you.

Great day in ancient antiquities - Had a great day visiting these ruins which were moore extensive than I would have expected. We had aa windy day, but the ride was not bad at all. Definitely worth the few dollars to hav a guided tour. It would have been very difficult to sort out the place without a guide.

Superb private tour - Don’t miss this remarkable tour by Nikolas - the author of a Delos guide book. We had a private tour with Nikolas- he handled everything so we didn’t have to wait in any lines but the best part was that since it was only my husband and I not only were all of our questions answered but we were also able to have discussions about this fascinating site. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Excursion - Our guide, Marili, was amazingly knowledgeable, not only about Delos and its role in ancient Greek history, but also about archaeology generally. She made the most of our two hours on the island, and we left feeling that we had seen all the highlights learned the essential history.

Visit people. - Delos Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, don't want to visit? Of course not, and when I do. Once purchased the excursion we disembark in this island that is in fact an open-air museum, where the history, not only of the site, is touched by hand. The numerous open-air ruins are the subject of continuous research and archaeological work, it is particular to walk along the ancient streets and streets and enter what were homes and shops. The Avenue of Lions, the main attraction, is impressive and imposing and no matter if the statues are copies, you can admire the originals in the nearby museum with free admission. Do not miss the opportunity, if you happen to visit this island you will not regret it. P.S. don't forget hat and sunscreen, on the island there are no plants and the sun beats like a blacksmith.

Lots of ruins - An area with many ruins, some still intact over a quite wide area, we had a guided 1 and 1/2 hour tour which covered maybe 1/3 of the area. Getting their in rough seas can challenge some, a windy day will create it

Day in Delos - It's a good tour, and our guide was very knowledgeable, providing a detailed history of Delos. But overall, I think the tour is somewhat overpriced.
