A Very Comfortable Introduction to Mykonos

Our family had never visited Mykonos before, so we wanted something that would let us see the highlights without feeling rushed. The pickup from the cruise port gate was straightforward, and having someone waiting for us made the morning much easier. Our local guide was friendly and knowledgeable without giving us a constant stream of information. We had enough time to enjoy the views, walk around, take photos, and simply experience the atmosphere of the island. The driver was also very careful, which was especially appreciated with our children. The air-conditioned vehicle was a big plus because it was quite warm outside. We also liked knowing that customer support was available throughout the day if anything came up. Overall, it was a relaxed and well-organized way for our family to get our first taste of Mykonos.

A Lovely Way to Discover Mykonos Together

We booked this as a couple during our cruise stop in Mykonos and were looking for something comfortable rather than a packed sightseeing schedule. That was exactly what we got. Meeting at the cruise port gate was simple, and our driver was already there when we arrived. The vehicle was clean and nicely air-conditioned, which made getting around much more pleasant during the warmer part of the day. Our local guide had a relaxed personality and explained the history and character of Mykonos in a way that was easy to follow. We enjoyed wandering through the streets, seeing the famous white buildings and blue details, and stopping for photos along the way. Nothing felt unnecessarily rushed. We could enjoy the island together and still keep an eye on our cruise schedule. A very pleasant first experience of Mykonos.

Mykonos tour

Our tour guide was great: informative, funny and pivoted well when needed when it started to rain. Sites are cool to see… the lighthouse, windmills, beaches (their clear waters), churches and “town square”. For the safety of the tourists I appreciated roll call when reboarding at each stop. Thanks!

WE loved Mykonos

WE loved Mykonos We highly recommend this tour and our guide Maria. The tour included a visit to Little Venice and some great spots for photos. We also enjoyed some local cuisine at a seaside tavern. Maria was great and gave us not only much history but also plenty of time to explore the island.

Sadly, tour cancelled when ship couldn't make port

This tour was cancelled when Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Sea could not make port due to high winds and heavy seas against the seawall. Ship's Captain stated the Melkonian Port Captain closed the port and declared it too unsafe to dock the ship. Still awaiting refund as this writing.

Mykonope

Very much like herding cats. People late back on the bus at every stop - and a 15 min delay because people changed seats from front to back and were “lost.” Just not a well organized process.

Operator response

Your comment comes across as disrespectful to other members of your group. It's inappropriate to compare people to cats, and it's important to remember that group tours always depend on the pace of the slowest senior member. If waiting for others is not to your liking, we recommend considering private tours instead. Safe travels.
