Perfect small group tour! - We booked this tour last minute and during the off season, so we were the only ones on this tour. And I'm so happy that it was during the quiet period because our experience was so personal. Kalinka knew so much about Mykonos and navigated the small streets and passages so well. She gave us all the necessary information and gave us the most of our experience, given that not much was open. She was great at offering to take pictures and making sure she got multiple shots so we could pick the best ones. We loved it!

Best Way to Get Oriented - The walking tour was a great way to get started in the Old Town. Our guide brought us through the labyrinthine streets and showed us all of the important sights. When the tour was done, we decided to stay in town and wander around for hours to see all it had to offer. We understood the layout of the town and the significance of each area because of our guide's advice.

Great walking tour. - Great overview of the town. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a short overview of Mykonos. There is a lot of climbing as that is how the town is laid out.

Wonderful tour guide - Hannah was the best tour guide ever. There were only myself, my daughter and granddaughter on this tour. When we started we missed connecting, I called the office and after 1/2 hour Hannah found us. She was very patient with me as I had to use a walker. She took us to see everything as described.

Lovely guide but unworkable situation - Mykonos is a pretty little town but unfortunately the tour was severely affected by the crowds of cruise boat visitors. We were a group of approx twenty people without radios so hearing what the lovely tour guide had to say was often difficult. She made every attempt to keep us within voice range but the streets are so narrow and the vehicles in these streets are so aggressive that we couldn’t stay together. A lot of local history and culture info would be lost if no guide but almost useless due to the uncontrollable conditions mentionned above.

Nice bus tour - The guide had a biting humor and was fun. They were unorganized in the pickup and were a half hour late, but made it up on the end. We had fun and learned a lot. We originally booked a walking tour, but got a bus tour instead.

Not worthwhile - There wasn’t a lot to see and wouldn’t take the trip again as we could have easily walked around the small town ourselves. The guide was friendly but was on her phone constantly between stops which made us feel we were not her priority.

A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY - Our travel agent booked 2 tours with this company: Walking tour of Mykonos town and Ancient Delos & Cooking Class at the Mykonian Spiti. For the Walking Tour of Mykonos Town, we arrived on time and met the tour guide, Thea. We started the tour, but the guide was very distracted and kept checking her phone. As it turns out, there was another person joining our tour who was 30 minutes late. We had to backtrack to meet this person, so our tour was very rushed and the guide was very preoccupied. For our 2nd tour: Ancient Delos & Cooking Class at the Mykonian Spiti, the trip to Ancient Delos was great. The guide, Stephanie, was helpful and gave us tips on what we should take to Delos: water, snacks, a hat, etc. When we arrived back from Delos, the driver, Panos, was waiting at the designated place and was supposed to take us to the Mykonian Spiti for our cooking class. Instead, Panos took us back to our hotel, stating that he did not know anything about a cooking class. He gave me a number to call, which I called, but nobody answered. He was not even willing to call the company on our behalf. He dropped us off at our hotel and left. I'll also say this about the driver, Panos. He transported us on both excursions in an old van that didn't have air. He spent most of the drive on his phone, arguing with someone. About an hour later, the front desk called our room to tell us that another driver was here to pick us up for the Cooking Class. By this time, we had already made other plans for the evening, so we did not go. I double checked the voucher and it did NOT say anything about 2 separate pick up times for the excursions. I was giving this company the opportunity to make things right and refund a portion of my money for the Cooking Class, but my travel agent has not been successful in receiving a refund. Instead, they have given their account of what happened, claiming I elected not to participate in the Cooking Class because I was tired. Companies who operate like this are not interested in repeat business. They don't care about the customer experience. They bait and switch because they know you are a tourist with limited resources and really have no recourse, but to write a negative review. If you are reading this, I'm sure there are better tour companies out there. Please don't waste your time or money with this very unprofessional company.
