The museum and the guide need to show why it was like when thriving. Otherwise it’s very hard to visualize. Use pictures or video.
Irene_W, May 2026
This is tendered to the new port, then you need to take a SeaBus to the old port, to meet the boat to Delos island. Can't see why tge tender couldn't go to the old port, too.
Our guide, Janna, was excellent! She gave a clear explanation of each of the areas we visited.
Patrick_A, May 2026
Just that Delos is worth the visit. The guide was an archaeologist. She knew what it was about...and more!
Jose_V, May 2026
Great tour to learn all about Delos history and Greek mythology. Excellent value for the money
The boat trip was very pleasant and nice.
Paul_M, May 2026
Great tour, if you do not want to spend a lot of time going around the island by yourself. It was the perfect timing for us. We had a relatively small group and the guide was good
Jeff_S, May 2026
archeologist tour guide for the island made the whole experience amazing.
Singing was clear to get to boat.
Be ware that some cruise boats do not tender you into port with much time to spare to make the 1000 AM boat. the walk from the tender port to the Delos Tour boat only takes 10 min, no need to take the water taxi, walking is quicker.
James_K, May 2026
You get a lot more out of visiting Delos with a guided tour. The museum is a must see as well. Boat ride is about 30 minutes.
Nina_P, May 2026
Ferry ride was about a half hour. Comfortable and scenic. Drinks and snacks limited but available. 3 hour tour of UNESCO heritage site was good use of our time. Lena our English speaking guide was helpful in her explanations and very knowledgeable. Ear piece doesn’t really work for kids. Not the best place for very young children. Museum was okay. Lots of uneven cobble stone walking but was expected, so best to wear comfortable running shoes and sunny no shade so a hat is recommended. Other tours at same time but morning tour was the least busy but school kids were also present. No gift shop.
Laurie_E, May 2026
Amazing and interesting tour with excellent guide. We learned a lot and highly recommend the tour for all ages.
Robert_W, May 2026
Excellent experience! Easy to get to from the tender drop off area at Mykonos Old Town. Smooth process, boat was fantastic with refreshments, food, soda, water, and beer. Fantastic tour! Our guide Celia was very knowledgeable and made the experience excellent. Much like Pompei
Davis_D, May 2026
Very informative tour. Do some online research to view some illustrative reconstruction pictures of City to better understand what the ruins may have looked like . Our guide was a trained archaeologist. Delos Museum visit at end of tour is a must see. Stay close to guide as in some areas the audio transmission cuts out in narrow walkways if guide has turned a corner .
Crystal_T, May 2026
Our guide Amy is knowledgeable and kept the tour informative and humorous. Was a nice trip and will definitely visit Delos again.
Erin_L, May 2026
You learn a lot about the history of the island. Very informative and interesting. Would definitely recommend!

Tour guide was excellent. However, electric ear piece tied to the guide did not work very well. Noted myself and others would list to the guide without the ear piece to get a clearer understanding of what the guide said.
Kelly_S, Apr 2026
Amazing history and preservation of Greek culture and identity. Tour guide was knowledgeable but tour size too big. What an adventure climbing steps of The Hill! And standing in the former Sacred Lake.
Susan_T, Apr 2026
A great experience to see this island where it all began. Unfortunately the weather was not good, very cold and windy, and a lovely day would have made it so much better. The guide was very nice but tended to speak very fast which made her sometimes difficult to understand. However, it’s a magical island and a great tour.
Catherine_B, Apr 2026
Delos is wonderful- both beautiful scenery and wildflowers after recent rain, but also incredible archaeology.
Our guide,Celia, was truly excellent- clear explanation of historical context. She brought Delos to life.
Jamie_W, Nov 2025
Very informative and our guide was very knowledgeable and kind to our group. Would recommend to anyone who likes history
Surekha_P, Oct 2025
Great experience. Very organized. Boat left 29 minutes late. But the English guide Celia was amazing. She was passionate about Delos and passed on the passion and excitement to us.
John_G, Oct 2025
Very good and informative tour. The boat trip was very nice - about 30 minutes. We needed to check in at a booth to receive our group number, which was unclear, but worked out fine. Take bug spray! Little Venice is a great, charming place before & after trip!
Jon_J, Oct 2025
Informative guide, Beautiful structures. Amazing how much they have unearthed and restored. Informative guide. a little confusion on getting to the boat.
Connie_S, Oct 2025
We were glad we chose this Sailing the Caldera excursion, wonderful lunch on the boat, great to experience the coves and the water. It was also a spectacular view of Santorini on the cliffs above.
Lizzie_R, Oct 2025
Was more about the history of the island which was very interesting however very little about the mythology. The guided tour part took up much of our time that I hadn’t the opportunity to go to the museum and the other temples ie Isis before I had to make my way back to the boat. We spent about 10 mins at the start waiting on people to use the facilities when they got off the boat instead of them using the WC on the boat or at the museum after the tour. Our guide was lovely, informative but the earpieces would cut out if you were more than 10m or so away from the guide or around a corner, don’t know if it was interference from the thick walls
Jill_Q, Oct 2025
Delos didn't disappoint! It was cold and rainy the whole time and our lovely guide was upbeat and positive the entire time. She answered questions with a smile. Offered help to a fellow traveler on the wet slippery stones. The trip could have been a nightmare but her sunny personality made everything wonderful.
Sheri_P, Oct 2025
This is a must tour! Our guide explained everything about the ruins in great detail - we could almost see the island as it was long ago.
Wendy_T, Oct 2025
Excellent guide but 35 in a group was TOO large for one group. She tried very hard and certainly knew her subject matter!
lascanokirsten, Oct 2025
Great information but to long with the guide…not enough time to explore the museum or site on our own! Didn’t know we had the option to take a later ferry 🥴
Rick_S, Oct 2025
The sea bus dropped us off at the ticket office. Quick and easy to get our tickets. The tour was great and our guide exceptional. She knew her history and made the tour informative. Worth taking the tour. Glad we did it
marah_i, Oct 2025
Fantastic experience!
The archaeological site was amazing with so much to see.
Tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Highly recommended half day tour
JoA_B, Oct 2025
It seems rush. It would be nice to have a few hour instead of 20 mins. In the 30 mins you need to do the museum
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Greetings from Delos Travel by Viator!
Thank you very much for your review and for joining us on the Half-Day Delos Tour. We’re sorry to hear that the experience felt rushed and completely understand your wish for more time—especially to visit the museum.
Delos is indeed a site of immense historical and archaeological significance and it’s natural to want more time to explore its many layers. Our guided tours are carefully designed to cover the main highlights as well as some lesser-known treasures of the site, followed by free time for guests to enjoy the museum and other areas at their own pace.
For those who wish to extend their visit, we offer flexible return options: guests may choose to return to Mykonos at 13:30, 15:00 (except Mondays), or even as late as 18:30—allowing for a longer, more immersive experience.
We hope your time on Delos was a memorable one and sincerely appreciate your feedback.
Warm regards,
The Delos Travel Team
