A great way to see Mykonos!

This was the perfect way to see Mykonos! Our tour was great and our guide, Leo, made it extra special. He made sure his tour was what we wanted to see and gave us options throughout the day! The beaches were breathtaking and he found a way for us to visit a few small local chapels. Having someone who has the insight and knowledge is great and having that person LOVE to share his love for where he is from is a true delight!

DON'T MISS tour of Mykonos!

We were a family of 2 parents & 2 teenage boys stopping through during a cruise. Although the time was short, we had an AMAZING time with Leo, our guide! He gave us a great overview & authentic insights about Mykonos that were customized for us. The private tour was 200% value added to our Greek Isle travels!

Having a private tour was...

Having a private tour was a big plus for us. It let us see a lot of the island which wouldn’t have been possible without the car tour. We stopped at several places, got a chance to look around with some commentary, and were dropped off at the town with some recommendations for dinner. Overall, a good value and accessible way to see the island!

Great way to learn about Mykonos

We booked the 3 hour private tour and had a great time. It was just the perfect amount of time to tour the island. Leo was our host, guide and driver and ensured we had a great trip. We literally went round the whole island and visited the light-house and monastery on the trip. Leo had a real passion for history and was happy to pass on his knowledge of Mykonos and its past. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel. Bottled was provided too. Thanks Leo for a great trip.
