We were able to see a lot more of Mykonos with this tour than if we had been on our own or with the cruise ship. Not only was our guide interesting during the travel time, she told us about the culture and history in an interesting and personal way. We were able to see smaller towns as well as the iconic Mykonos. Highly recommend.

    The Best Tour of Mykonos

    Ayanna, Oct 2026
    My husband and I have anticipated our trip to Mykonos all year. We were excited to learn the history, understand the culture, and motivations for its distinct architecture. Our tour guide Andrea, explained everything we wanted to understand and more. She provided extensive explanations of what we were seeing and highlighted the historical and cultural importance of pertinent sites throughout our tour. Her vast knowledge of the island, engaging personality, and extensive touring experience on Mykonos, enabled her to anticipate potential questions and provide personal insight, which we’ve rarely experienced on other Viator tours. We highly recommend thus tour and if you're lucky, Andrea as your tour guide!

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re thrilled you had such a memorable Mykonos Shore Excursion and that Andrea made your experience truly special. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we’ll be delighted to share them with her. We hope to welcome you back to Mykonos someday! 😊

    Splendid Santorini

    Lisa_B, Oct 2026
    This excursion exceeded our highest expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Mykonos tour

    Hulian_L, Oct 2026
    Tour guide explained everything well. The last hour of the tour was walking through the old port and we opted out since it was all walking, and my husband and I couldn't keep up with the rest of the group. My daughter, her husband and the 4yr old enjoyed it though.

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're pleased you appreciated your guide's explanations and that your family enjoyed exploring Mykonos. We understand that the walking portion through Mykonos Town can be challenging, particularly with its narrow, uneven streets. We're glad you were able to enjoy the sightseeing portion at your own pace and appreciate your feedback, which may also help future guests plan their visit.

    Good experience

    Cynthia_D, Sep 2026
    This particular excursion did not include any lengthy time for dining or shopping, so eat before you go! The bus was comfortable and the guide was knowledgeable. If you’re cruising on the RC Odyssey know that you will have to take the sea bus back to the port to get back on the ship. We would have enjoyed it more if we’d had more time in the last village for shopping and eating.

    Response from Host, Oct 2026

    We’re glad you enjoyed your Mykonos shore excursion and found the guide knowledgeable and the journey comfortable. As this tour is designed to cover the island’s main highlights within limited cruise-port time, the schedule can be quite full. We appreciate your feedback about allowing more free time in Mykonos Town.

    Culture, history and beauty. This tour showed us a unique Mykonos from a local perspective.

    Stephen_N, Sep 2026

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re delighted our Mykonos shore excursion gave you the opportunity to discover both the island’s famous landmarks and its more traditional side. Experiencing the culture, history, and local life of Mykonos through a local perspective is exactly what we hope makes this tour special for cruise guests.

    Great tour of Mykonos

    Carolyn_P, Sep 2026
    This is a great tour for those with limited time in Mykonos as a saw a lot in a fairly short time. Andrea was a fabulous tour guide, giving us plenty of information without overloading us. She was very friendly and approachable.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted Andrea made your Mykonos shore excursion both informative and enjoyable.

    Unforgettable Athens Tour & Airport Transfer

    Dennis_O, Jul 2026
    Our guide Demetrious made this tour absolutely unforgettable. From the moment my wife and I stepped off the ship in Athens, he was right there waiting for us, warm and welcoming from the very first handshake. Throughout the day, his deep knowledge of Athens’ history and culture brought every site to life, and his stories made the ancient city feel personal rather than just a checklist of monuments. He was endlessly polite, patient with our questions, and made sure we had plenty of chances to stop for photos at all the best spots. The transfer to the airport afterward was just as smooth and stress-free, capping off a wonderful day. If you’re booking through the Viator app, do yourself a favor and request Demetrious as your guide — he’ll make your Athens experience one to remember.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear Dimitris made your Athens experience so memorable. His passion for the city's history, warm hospitality, and attention to detail are exactly what we strive to provide. We're also pleased your airport transfer was smooth and stress-free. Thank you for your kind recommendation—we hope to welcome you back to Greece again soon!

    Great tour in Mykonos!

    Walter_B, Jun 2026
    Our guide, Andrea, was great. She was friendly, personable, and very informative. She was very organized and kept the group together, although it did not appear as though it was a struggle for her. Our bus broke down shortly after starting, and they immediately had a replacement bus. Andrea and the driver never got flustered. We learned all about Mykonos and the island and had a great time in the process. Andrea was also very helpful about taking pictures. At the end of the tour, she recommended a great place to get Gyros.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear Andrea made the experience so enjoyable with her knowledge, organization, and friendly personality. We’re also pleased that the unexpected bus issue was resolved quickly and smoothly, allowing the tour to continue without disruption. And of course, no Mykonos day is complete without a great gyro recommendation! Thank you for your understanding and kind words.

    clifford, May 2026
    Our guide was excellent who had so much information about Mykkonos. Be aware that is very windy on this island. I wish I had my winter coat (it was early May).

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and the guide’s knowledge. And yes—this was definitely some unusual weather for May in Mykonos 😄 the island likes to keep things unpredictable! Hope to see you again on a sunnier, calmer day next time! 🌞

    Faulty information

    Quang_N, Apr 2026
    Viator: The information stated that Maximum 30 travelers, but we had more 30 in our group the bus of capacity of 50 was full. If we know this is the case we were not signed up. Not trusted worthy.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’d just like to clarify that your group actually had 29 participants, in line with our advertised limit per guide. The vehicle used was a 40-seater bus, not a 50-seater, but we understand it may have felt more crowded than expected. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve the experience.

    Andrea was an amazing guide! Thank you for our wonderful tour of Mykonos

    Mykonos day tour

    Janet_M, Oct 2025
    The tour gave us an overview and peeks of the island of Mykonos, but we felt that the guide gave a lot of unnecessary drawn out story-telling about the island. We ended our tour early to be able to have more down time in the old port area of Mykonos.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed getting an overview of Mykonos, and we appreciate your honest comments about the guiding style. Every group is a bit different, and your input helps us fine-tune the balance between storytelling and free time. We’re happy you still enjoyed exploring the Old Port area — such a lovely part of the island!

    Great Tour of Mykonos

    Franya_R, Oct 2025
    This tour was very good. They met us at the cruise port. They took us on a nice bus tour around Mykonos. Dora the tour guide was very knowledgeable about Mykonos. Not too rushed. Not to much walking. We took the Sea Bus back to the cruise port. It believe it was only 2.50 Euros each. It dropped us off right at the ship! Got back to the ship in plenty of time!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Dora — she’s fantastic at showing Mykonos at an easy, comfortable pace. Sounds like you made the most of the day, and the Sea Bus is indeed such a fun and convenient way back to the ship!
