Overall, I loved the tour and would definitely recommend it. I loved Mykonos. The tour guide was very informative, and I loved her love story!
Our guide was very informative and engaging. The tour hit all of the highlights and provided great insights and history of Mykonos. Highly recommend! That being said, for people with knee and joint issues, the walking tour at the end may be difficult to keep up.
Our guide (I think it was Andrea)was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Mykonos. We saw the windmills and narrow alleyways. There is A LOT of walking but also some rest time
Great tour, friendly knowledgeable guide. Andrea made sure we knew where to be at all times. Loved Mikenos.

Christina was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely recommend for the highlights in Mykonos!
Excellent American tour guide who lives permanently on the island. Loads of information about the island, every day life & visited appropriate sites.
It’s a lot of walking. I booked this for myself and my elderly parents and my mom and dad had to leave half way thru. Not good for those with walking issues. Also not able to stop and have time for myself to explore during the tour- very fasted paced.
Excellent trip, we visited all of the major sights on the island. Our guide Christina was very informative. Good value for money.
beautiful port and great tour….our guide Christina was exceptional -extremely knowledgeable and easy to follow!!
Great tour from beginning to the end. Kristina, our tour guide, was at the port with a sign and instructed us to the van which was close by. Loved all of our stops and Kristina shared lots of information on each. Definitely book this tour.
We booked this last minute, the day before we sailed into Mykonos and were so glad that we did. Such a fantastic way to see the island and the main points of interest for tourists. Our guide for the tour, Andrea, was excellent, having a fantastic knowledge of the island having lived there for over 30 years. Andrea gave us a real insight as to how the locals live as well as how tourism has evolved on the island to its current state, very interesting for sure. Our coach driver, Tzolis, was equally great, negotiating some roads that were tight for cars, yet alone a big coach, skillfully! If you are coming to Mykonos on a cruise ship and want to get a flavour of what the island has to offer, then I would highly recommend this tour, we loved it!
Easy to book. Excellent guide. Inexpensive. Would recommend to anyone. Way cheaper than cruise excursion.
Our guide, Christina was wonderful! We had a fantastic experience with her. She was very knowledgeable about the island.

Excellent tour of multiple locations from the beach to lighthouse to busy old port area. Christina shared a wealth of information about Mykonos and life on the island making for an interesting and informative trip.
The tour does not end where it started as per the ticket and as a result I had to Pay an additional 5 Euros to get back to my ship. I also ended up carrying purchases that I made that I would have been able to keep on the bus while I walked around narrow streets in the heat.
Andrea was absolutely phenomenal! She led us on an incredible tour of Mykonos and made every moment enjoyable from start to finish. Her knowledge of the island’s history was impressive, and she sprinkled in fun facts and local stories that kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the day. We made so many stops around the island, giving us the opportunity to experience many of Mykonos’ most important landmarks, scenic viewpoints, and hidden gems. Andrea also knew all the best photo spots, making sure we captured amazing memories along the way. To top it all off, we finished with a walking tour through Mykonos Town, where she pointed out fascinating details and places we would have easily missed on our own. Her passion, personality, and expertise truly made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Mykonos on a cruise, this is an excellent excursion as it fits perfectly into a port day and is a fantastic way to see the highlights of the island without feeling rushed.
