Itinerary
Starting the City-and Island tour by walking the small and narrow streets, having many possibilities to take nice photographs in the early morning, quiet city. We get orientation and information in the labyrinth of the old town as well as impressions of the small port and the churches in town. Of course we will see the famous wind- mills and find Petros the Pelican, the mascot of Mykonos. After this we are exploring the island, visiting some of the most famous beaches and the inner landscape. We see fishermen and kaikis, small private chapels and houses built in typical Cycladic style. In the second main village of Mykonos, Ano Mera, an idyllic place 6km from town, where the guests have enough free time for a stroll around the traditional square and they can visit the monk monastery of Panagia Tourliani built in the 16th century. Next stop is Kalafatis beach were there is time to relax for a while and have a coffee or a refreshment (not included in the price). Before going back to town we visit the beaches of Ornos and Agios Giannis. At the end we reach a place with a fantastic view all over the town and the neighboring islands. A Half-Day-Tour with a lot of impressions and useful information!
wander through the sun-drenched, whitewashed streets. Mykonos Town is a labyrinth, famously designed with winding streets to confuse invading pirates; today, that means you’re likely to discover a picturesque tableau around every corner, from fishermen with their boats to private chapels and the island’s many windmills.

Sabrina was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and kind. It was wonderful seeing Mykonos through her eyes. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time on this tour! Our driver, Marios, was knowledgeable and friendly. He was a local who grew up on the island and gave us so much history from the early days of Mykonos to the island after WW II to the 60s-70s when it became a destination spot to the present. He took us to common tourist sites and to other spots that were not where the tour bus groups go. We drove the island and then walked through the city, all while receiving an excellent education! Highly recommend Marios and this tour!!
Very bad experience. They picked us up 45 minutes late. We got off quickly out of respect and they never told us we were late. The tour that was supposed to be 5 hours was less than 3 hours. The car was old and it was banging all over the place. I would expect a refund of my money because you pay almost 600 euros for this. It seems like a scam to me.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay in picking you up and understand the inconvenience this may have caused. Please note that we were in communication with you via WhatsApp throughout the day, and we also offered a partial refund to address the situation. As outlined in the tour description, this is a four-hour tour. While there was a delay in your pick-up, you were transported in a new Mercedes Vito to all the points of interest, including Mykonos Town, where you enjoyed a guided walk through Little Venice, the Windmills, and the charming narrow streets. Afterward, as per your request, the guide left you in town to explore on your own for shopping and lunch, concluding the tour. We regret any inconvenience caused by the late pick-up but want to clarify that the full tour did take place. Labeling it a scam does not reflect the experience provided. As mentioned in our previous communication, we remain happy to offer a partial refund to further compensate for the delay. We appreciate your understanding and value your feedback.
Our family of ten (10) ages ranging from 72- 2 wanted a very personalized experience, which is why we chose the private tour. Barbara, our guide, accommodated us by taking us to the beach where the kids could swim while the adults relaxed with a mojito and stories about the island from Barbara, then pass the windmills for photos, and then to town where we had a delightful lunch with the waves breaking the Mykonos way. Thank you Barbara.
Marios was an amazing driver/guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and made the day interesting and fun. Excellent experience!
The driver was extremely professional and patience. But this was not worth the price to get driven around in a van.
The only good thing about this tour was the pickup was on time. Let me say it was rushed from the beginning to the end . Even wanted to end the tour before our time at 3 hours and leave us in the middle of the town for us to find our way back to port . She kept saying that for 2 euros we can take the ferry after paying sooo much money for a 4 hr tour . Paid almost $1k for the crapest tour . So after telling her that she is stealing us on an hour of our tour than she left us waiting for a ride back to port .. all this because she another tour waiting for her . After going on 4 different tours on different places this was the WORST experience and most expensive tour we ever had .! I always book private tour this was the worst
We are a family of 5. George was there on time and took us to all the spots. It was so much better than doing a large group tour. He never rushed us. He has lived on the small island for 44 years so he knows the history. We would definitely recommend!
Nice tour. Weather was heavy (too much wind) for certain activities. Would have preffered more time at the water front / little venice.
This was a very nice tour of the island of Mykonos. Our guide, George, took us all over and shared alot of interesting information about the island. It's a good tour if you have never been to Mykonos before.
