At least 10 hours of travel is in a ferry or car. Mykonos was beautiful! Our tour guide ALika Was great.
If you only have one day to spend in Mykonos this is a good tour to book. A guided tour is followed by plenty of free time to eat, shop, or swim. Guide is well informed and assured that all transportation was coordinated.
Great day trip, only thing I wished was that the guided tour was a little longer. But overall highly recommend, it is a great way to see an island when you are short on time
Mykonos is absolutely spectacular; it's worth every minute. The ferry ride is a bit long, but it's totally worth it. Our guide, Yannis, is excellent and very helpful, always willing to solve problems and share his knowledge. It's great that he speaks both English and Spanish, which makes the tour very enjoyable.
This tour was a great way to see Mykonos!! At first I didn’t think we would have enough time to see and do all the things- I was mistaken. The amount of time spent in Mykonos was perfect. We had plenty of time for shopping, eating and even beach time. It’s quite the journey to get there which is stated - plan to return tired - I think our entire group slept on the ferry on the return trip. Georgia (Gogo) was a fantastic guide! She offered suggestions for where to eat and get desert and gelato.
Very magnificent activity! Our guide was excellent! Everything was well organized! We had the necessary freedom to explore Mykonos at our own pace!
We wanted to see Mykonos from Athens and we were able to with this excursion. They get you to and from the island efficiently and leave you plenty of time to explore the island. Great customer service, the team was always checking in with us to ensure we were enjoying our time.

Very good experience with the Gogó guide. The organization was good, from the day before he sent us a message to indicate what time he was passing us at the hotel and it was super punctual. In Mykonos he accompanied us to tour the most important points, explained us well (Spanish and English) and gave us free time to eat and know a little more about the place. He gave us some restaurant recommendations. The return was also good, all according to the indicated schedules. It is a recommended walk to know Mykonos when you have the limited time.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron del recorrido y del acompañamiento de Gogó. Para nosotros es fundamental ofrecer organización, puntualidad y una experiencia completa, incluso cuando el tiempo es limitado. ¡Esperamos recibirlas nuevamente muy pronto!
It was a great experience. The tour is very welll organised and they do everything to accommodate your preferences - right from where to be picked up. Our host, Maria was a delight and answered all our 100 questions and was very knowledgeable about the history of the place and makes for an excellent guide. The tour is nicely designed to ensure that you get free time as well.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the organization and flexibility of the tour. Maria will be especially happy to know her knowledge and enthusiasm made a difference. We truly hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure!
Ask for Yanis as you tour guide. He made the trip worth it. If I would rate him it’s a 10 out of 5. For the money more should have been added to the trip such as lunch.
hank you for your kind words and for sharing your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Yanis made such a strong impression — we’ll be sure to pass along your amazing “10 out of 5” rating to him! He’ll truly appreciate it. We also value your suggestion regarding lunch and will certainly take it into consideration as we continuously work to enhance our experiences. We hope to welcome you again soon!
