The best time! - Melissa was our guide and Helena was our driver. They were punctual, professional, and personable. We were able to customize our tour and saw the best of Mykonos. It was my birthday and Melissa and Helena were so sweet to surprise me with some cake and a birthday song playing on the speakers when we came back to the van. This tour was the best part of our trip for sure and made us feel like we got to see Mykonos through the eyes of a local. Thank you Melissa and Helena for a memorable time! We truly enjoyed ourselves!!!!

Wonderful personalized tour - What a wonderful day. Like many others, we took this tour as an alternative to what our cruise ship was offering. Our guide (George) meet us as planned on the dock where the tenders disembark. After a nice walking tour of the city, off we went to explore the island. I found George to be a knowledgeable and friendly guide. George was great at detailing the history and importance of every location we visited. During the tour, we found out this was George’s last tour as he moving on to a new chapter in his life. Good luck George as a seafarer. I would like to especially thank George for the personal attention and small gift you gave us to remember the island by. If arriving on a cruise ship, I would highly recommend this private tour versus a crowded ship tour.

Perfect Day. - We traveled to Mykonos on September 11th 2023. Iro was our tour Guide. She was absolutely charming. Iro was so great making sure we were able to squeeze in all the sites in our short period of time. The tour mini bus was clean and fully air conditioned. She not only supplied us with cold waters but brought us a breakfast treat (spanakopita) and a gift bag with Ozo and a evil eye charm. Such a wonderful treat. We saw the history, the beach, the gift shops and had a great lunch. Not once did she leave us on our won. She made sure to show us all the hidden treasures. Thank you again for a perfect day.

Excellent tour - We booked at private tour of Mykonos, we were able to see the whole island and get a proper feel from the island from the historical by visiting the monastery to the beaches by having time to enjoy them. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. We even fed a donkey enroute too which was a hit with the teenagers. The tour guide took us to all the fantastic sites, and at the end the personally escorted us to our cruise.
