Great tour of the entire island with Armando. He was very knowledgeable and gave great explanations of all the sites
Marios was great! Knowledgeable, prompt, courteous and always willing to go above and beyond. He will take you to some places only locals would know and explain everything along the way. Make sure to ask him to send you all of the best places to eat and visit after the tour. Highly recommend this tour.
Marios took good care of the 5 seniors + 2 adults. We have had a great time walking the town. We had Greek coffee and pastry and did some good shopping for souvenir.
Amazing experience with Armando ! Very nice, fun and interesting tour of Mykonos.
Evangelism was very knowledgeable and informative. He was great company. I didn't give 5 stars for 2 reasons. No map of the island provided. So couldn't see where we had been or where we were. And would have liked the water before lunch.
The tour was terrific! We were able to see lots of the island in a short amount of time. Marios did a great job and was very knowledgeable!
Outstanding tour that was personalized by a local with the history to make it even more informative. Vaggelis was amazing in providing the most up close and unique opportunities to truly see all of the island. We highly recommend this tour! Tour picked us up from the cruise port and returned so an even better experience.
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!
Vaggelis was excellent. Top notch tour. Super knowledgeable about the island. Took us around to all the spots and consistently asked us if we wanted to see anything. Such a good tour.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you had a great experience with us.
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!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure meeting you. We hope to welcome you back to Mykonos soon!
