Antonio was amazing and showed us all the great spots and where to get local goods instead of the touristy spots.
Dear Phebe, thank you very much for taking the time to write this very positive review. We remain at your future disposal !
We are met by our tour guide, Antonio (Tony) on time. We did have a hard time locating our meeting point. So we called the emergency phone number provided to us and 2 agents were able to help us immediately locating our guide. Tony was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Mykonos. He took us around to several different parts of the island in a private car. We covered St. Johns, Little Venice, the Windmills, Kalafati Beach, and shopping. He even took us to Sakis Grill House for the best Gyros and souvlakis in town! Definitely time and money well spent for us!
<p>Very good tour of all the highlights of the island. Everything arranged including driver. Enjoyed all the beautiful churches. Great place for lunch right on the beach</p>
<p>Great private tour, fantastic guide --- Thanks Andy ---. Lovely to have a break in the day with a nice swim and cold drink before enjoying the local township, it's delicious food and great shopping. Highly recommended!!!</p>
<p>Very nice way to see the most of Mykonos , A lot of walking so make sure you have proper footwear .The scenery was beautiful and we would recommend this tour if you were only in Mykonos for the day . Paradise Beach was beautiful as was it all .Cheers George Ruth Bruce and Sue</p>
<p>This tour was very disappointing. We had a tour guide who didn't seem to be very organized. She kept asking the driver where he thought we should go. At the end of the tour the driver was very anxious to get to get to his next job and was impatient for us to leave. I believe the tour guide was responsible for the delay. All in all we were a group of six and were very disappointed.</p>
<p>A great tour, beautiful island. It was over 100F and the vans a/c wasn't the best - but the guide Lydia was great.We didn't have time to see the the famous swimming beaches but had a great day there.</p>
