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.

Yanis did a great job! He made the trip exciting and enjoyable

Peter_V, Sep 2025
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.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

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!

A must do trip

ManalAoun, Aug 2025
We had an amazing day !!!!! It was a well organized and smooth trip, everything was on time ( the pick up, the ferry, the drop off…) Our guide Yanni was so friendly and helpful, the island was crowded but not like we imagined and saw on social media we highly recommend booking this trip.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had an amazing day and that everything ran smoothly and on time. Providing a seamless and well-organized experience is always our goal. We’d love to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure!

Yanna was Amazing, size of group not great for the price point.

Nathan_I, Jul 2025
Our guide, Yanna was great. She was friendly, knowledgable, patient and overall amazing! My problem was with the size of the group and the dual language. For the price point, about $220 per person, I was expecting a smaller group and certainly a single language tour. We had about 30 people in our group. She would give the explanation in Spanish and then in English. It would have been better to have either 2 guides - 1 Spanish and 1 English or a larger English only group. The dual language meant significant wasted time - for each group - to wait for explanations of the other group. Additionally, we spent significant time waiting for others to catch up. Yanna was very clear that we were to make no stops and needed to keep up with the group, but we still spent significant time waiting for others to catch up. A smaller group would have made this situation better. Either that or just don't make repeated stops for people who cannot follow simple instructions. All in all a great day that could have been made better without as much wasted time.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words about Yanna — we're thrilled to hear you found her friendly, knowledgeable, and overall amazing! We're also grateful for your honest feedback about the group size and dual-language format. While we aim to accommodate a diverse group of travelers, we understand how the pacing and bilingual delivery can impact the experience for some guests. Your comments are valuable and help us explore ways to improve logistics and communication for future tours. We're glad to hear you still had a great day overall, and we truly hope to welcome you again on a more tailored experience!

Great trip!

Lorena_M, Jul 2025
The trip and guide were great , but the young driver coming back was not , she was running in circles in Athens center spending a lot of time, we decide to walk from the parliament to our hotel she went by twice within 30 mnts. Also the 20 bucks to the beach , we thought we pay at the restaurant but those 20 bucks were on top of , I still recommend it because the food was good and the location is great and the guide take you and pick you from there you just have to enjoy it ❤️

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your feedback and for recommending the tour — we're glad you enjoyed the guide, the food, and the beautiful location! We’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the return to the hotel. Please know that our driver was not going in circles, but rather doing her best to drop off each guest as close to their accommodations as possible, which can take a bit longer in the busy center of Athens. Regarding the beach package, our escort explains clearly that the €20 fee is optional and separate from any restaurant costs — we’re sorry if there was any misunderstanding. Your comments help us improve, and we truly hope to welcome you again on another tour!

Mykonos day trip from Athens

Marta, Jun 2025
Perfect day at Mykonos, Yanna was the tour leader. We had a small group of about 10 people which was great. Yanna provided all information needed and we walked around Mykonos at various key points then time of our own go eat, ho go the beach, shopping... LOVE IT

Great way to see the island and have plenty of time to explore. Guide was great and very helpful with eating recommendations and clear instructions so that the day went by smoothly.

Dear Victor, we appreciate your taking the time to post your reviea and we are so glad that you had a nice time with us!!

David_P, May 2025
Our local guide was very frendly and open to give advices of local gems. She was from Athens but her parents were from nearby islands. During the open free time to explore the island, she didn't mind taking some time with the group interested in the local culture (and not only for the turist part of the island). Kudos for the 1 guide 2 languages tour (english and spanish). Only one person managing two different speakers group merits a praise.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear David, it is a great pleasure to read your nice words and a great motivation for our tour leaders to give their best to our customers.

Don't miss out on this!

Kristy_B, Sep 2024

Excellent Excursion

shashigorur, Jul 2024
Our family just returned from a day long outing to Mykonos via ferry. It was a wonderful visit that was well organized. The ferry operation was first class. A special thank you to Yanna who coordinated not only pick ups and drop offs, but also conducted an interesting walking tour of the city center. We opted for the optional beach time next to a selected restaurant where we enjoyed a tasty lunch. All in all, a long day, but well worth it.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We are so happy reading that you have enjoyed the activity :) Thank you!!

Beautiful island

Mary_D, May 2024
Our guide Yannis was very friendly, showed us around the island landmarks, and made sure we knew where to meet at all transfer points. We also had several hours to explore on our own.

AWESOME

Yolanda_C, Oct 2023
Yanni was AWESOME. The assistance and support provided before, during and after the tour was outstanding. She made us so very comfortable and ensured all our needs were met. I recommend the tour but more importantly ask for Yanni. Thank you so very much.

ADRIANA_M, Oct 2025
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.

Belle île

Dominique_F, Jul 2023
A visiter absolument ! Rapport qualité - prix pas justifiés du tout en fonction du prix du ferry boat , à faire en solo sans agence… Le pickup a l’hôtel est réalisé uniquement sur Athènes, hébergés a seulement 4 kilomètres du port d’embarquement de Rafina, j’ai du prendre à ma charge les coûts de taxi pour rejoindre le port… Pas très cohérent tout ça
