Great excursion outside the chaos of the city around the island. We saw both North and South sides of the island. Leo was a superb guide, drove carefully and explained throughly.
Great time on Mikonos with our Guide Leo. We learned a lot about the island with him and even about greek mithilogy. We do recommend this Company serviços.
Leo was great. He met us right outside the gate where the boat docks. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour with him in his car. It was a great tour of the island with the history. Leo was very informative and food a great job. We ended in Old town or little Venice. We could’ve gone back to the port with him, but we chose to stay and Do some shopping then we walked to the bus stop where we had a complimentary ride back to the port. I highly recommend it. (The only thing I would suggest, is if you get car sick, take precautions. He drives at a slow pace and they roads are narrow and windy in places.)
Leo was spectacular!! Our tour was wonderful, interesting, and informative. We saw so much of the island and he used our pace. The whole experience was magnificent! We would recommend this tour to everyone. We would give him more than 5 stars.
Leo did a great job. Covered everything on the itinerary. Even called restaurant and found us a great place for lunch. It’s so nice to have a private tour and not be part of a big group off the ship.
We booked this private tour one day prior and couldn’t have been happier. Leo was great with communicating with us prior to arrival and then the route he took was fantastic. He was personable and not so rigid, he made my introverted family/teen boys feel comfortable asking questions. Was probably the most interactive I’ve ever seen them with a tour before. The itenerary seemed comprehensive but not rushed. Only there for a day! Definitely recommend this tour.
Leo was a great guide and covered our itinerary. He even found us a great restaurant for lunch. And called the owner to make sure they served mousaka. He walked us to the restaurant at the end of our tour.
We had a private tour and he tailored to what we wanted to see. Very informative and super friendly!
Had a fantastic tour on June 15 with Thanos. Learned so much about past and present Mykonos, and enjoyed the beautiful views across the entire island. Our thanks to Thanos for a memorable day!
