Leónidas, the owner, was great He provided great communication and answered all our questions before the trip. He also made it a point to meet up with us when we arrived and to say goodbye at the conclusion of our trip. Our true guide for the day was Antonio who was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He showed us all the major sites. He showed us to a restaurant that we could have lunch, which was absolutely beautiful and delicious although a little pricey, but I guess everything ispricey around there.
Was a fantastic overview of the beautiful Island of Mykonos. We could never have seen it all by ourselves in 4 hours. Leo was a great guide full of information and stories. I would highly recommend.
We had a great experience! Antonio was the best tour guide. He made sure we had everything and more that was included in our tour. Recommend the best lunch spot and make sure my mom who has a hard time walking was okay and comfortable the entire time. I would definitely recommend and do this tour again. Thank you again Antonio 😊😊😊
Antonio was our tour guide and he was awesome! Very friendly, organized and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend him and this tour.
You always wonder if you are making the right choice with so many tour options. We are very happy with this company. Thanos was the perfect host and gave us a personalized tour. Exactly what we hoped for. Personable, patient, friendly, knowledgeable, etc. Note: If you on a cruise, be sure to confirm which port and where you would to meet.
Our guide, Leo, was absolutely fantastic. Choosing a private tour is truly the best way to experience Mykonos. We were able to visit unique areas of the island that larger tour groups simply can’t access, which made the experience feel much more authentic—while still taking in all the must-see highlights Mykonos is known for. Communication was excellent—Leo reached out the day before and picked us up right at the cruise ship dock, making everything seamless and stress-free. We especially loved supporting a family-owned business.
Fun yet relaxing tour of "off the beaten path" circumference of Mykonos. Everything from beaches, drive through the hills, monestary, stop ar pharmacy, capped off with a stop for a flight of local beers. Great explination of everything we saw!
Thanos was knowledgeable and passionate. Always polite and ready to help. We learned so much while having fun. Definitely worth it if you visit the island for the first time.
