Definite must-do; Marios was an amazing guide!

Absolutely incredible private tour, a definite must-do. Marios was SUCH a great guide for us, taking us all around the island’s less touristy spots and engaging in great conversation throughout. Would absolutely recommend a tour with Marios!

The Perfect Way to See Mykonos – Thanks Vaggelis!

We had an amazing day seeing Mykonos with Vaggelis! We were driven around in a comfortable air conditioned car to 8 different spots on the island, all of them beautiful with views across different parts of Mykonos. Vaggelis was brilliant, incredibly friendly as soon as he picked us up from outside the door of our hotel, really knowledgeable and was proud to talk about Mykonos and share his knowledge throughout the tour. Also, a little bonus, Vaggelis is quite the photographer, he got some brilliant photos of us despite the wind! The tour in total was just over 4 hours and it's a completely worthwhile way to spend half a day in Mykonos, I couldn't recommend it more. Thanks Icarus and in particular Vaggelis for a brilliant tour!
