Tour company meh, tour guide amazing!

James_B, Apr 2026
Dora the tour guide was incredible!! She truly made this very special, along with tour bus driver George. Dora is truly to be commended! She is certainly not paid enough! Now the company.. this company bumped us for a tour ship, then made the price cheaper by $14AUD to €7 so…. I don’t recommend booking early. You will be punished. Furthermore, I don’t recommend asking for help. I was confused between the cruise terminal and ferry port. No care given. Disappointed with the company communication and logistics. The tour guide Dora though, salvaged the tour for us. Can’t thank her enough!

A beautiful tour of a beautiful island

Ryan_S, Apr 2026
The tour guide Dora was excellent and I felt like I was able to see so much more of Mykonos than I would have on foot. Learning all history but also seeing the less touristy parts of the island more inland was a very unique experience as well. Very worth the price!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re so happy to hear you had such a great experience with Dora—she truly is fantastic and loves sharing both the history and the hidden sides of Mykonos. It’s wonderful that you got to explore beyond the usual spots and see a more authentic side of the island. And we love hearing it was worth the price—that means everything to us! 🌞

Tour was great and...

Diamond_C, Nov 2025

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and got to take in the great views — with plenty of time left to explore and shop in town. A lovely way to experience Mykonos!

enjoying Mikaynos to the Fullest!!

Cynthia_A, Oct 2025
our guide Cristina was excellent. very knowledgeable courteous and thoughtful. she had a great disposition and was certain to give us the best possible experience. She got us around the crowds that had gathered for a National Holiday. great Tour Guide!!' m

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Mary_S, Oct 2025
This tour was the absolute best! We went to all the best places to see and take pictures. Mykonos was amazing and beautiful!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring all the most beautiful spots in Mykonos — it really is a photographer’s dream! So glad the island made such a great impression.

Andrea is the best

Ned_A, Oct 2025
We had Andrea as our guide and that made all the difference. Despite the fact that she is from the UK, she has lived in Mykonos for 35 years and is very knowledgeable, articulate and excellent at telling the story of her adopted home. She is one of the best guides we have ever had.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Andrea will be delighted to read your words — she truly lives and breathes Mykonos after so many years here, and her storytelling is something special. We’re so happy she helped you connect with the island in such a meaningful way. Hearing she’s one of the best guides you’ve ever had means a lot to all of us.

Great Tour, Poor Directions

Marilynda_B, Oct 2025
Tour was very interesting and our guide was fantastic. Directions on where to meet conflicted with the link on the email being incorrect

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and your guide — that means a lot to us. We’re sorry for the confusion with the meeting point instructions. Hope to welcome you back to Mykonos one day!

Thanks Christina for this...

Ricardo_R, Oct 2025
Thanks Christina for this spectacular tour! I've always thought that Mykonos was only off the hook parties but not at all. Very friendly guide with a perfect english and a deep knowledge about her island.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you discovered the real Mykonos beyond the party scene — there’s so much beauty and history to enjoy! Christina will be thrilled to read your kind words; she truly loves sharing her island and connecting with guests from all over the world.

Amazing Experience

Laura_C, Oct 2025
The first thing Christina said when she boarded the bus was that she was originally from New York, came here 30 years ago and never left. That sealed the deal for us! The bus took us to visit the lighthouse, Kalafatis Beach, the village of Ano Mera, Little Venice, the iconic windmills (for the Money Shot 😊), and the main village. We learned more on this tour than we have in any other tour in Europe and had an incredible day. Christina was also correct, Mykonos is better than Santorini! 😉 You won’t be disappointed with this tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for this amazing review! We absolutely love how you captured the spirit of the tour — Christina will be thrilled to read it (and she’ll definitely agree with you about Mykonos vs. Santorini 😉). It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the stories, sights, and all those picture-perfect moments across the island. We’re so happy Mykonos left such a great impression — hope to see you again soon!

Andrea a delight

Cathleen_N, Oct 2025
Excellent your guide Andrea. She really knew lots of information about the island and showed us many pretty sites. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering Mykonos with Andrea — she truly loves sharing the island’s stories and special spots. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Very positive Mykonos excursion experience

Steven_D, Oct 2025
Our guide, Christina, did a great job of including everyone, sharing lots of interesting information, and speaking loud enough and in locations that everyone could hear. The driver, George, was very good at navigating the narrow streets. They provided water on the bus, and there was a stop with a local bakery so it's ready to grab a snack if you are hungry. We would recommend this tour to get to know and experience Mykonos much better than just walking around.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Mykonos with Christina and George — they make a great team! It’s great to hear you appreciated the little touches, like the water on board and the bakery stop. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us!

Perfect Mykonos Introduction

Ronald_B, Oct 2025
We didn't budget much time in Mykonos, so this tour was essential in knowing and seeing as much about the island as possible in a short amount of time. Angela was great!! Her knowledge was very informative and her enthusiasm for Mykonos allowed us to see why she loves it. We recommend this tour to anyone with a limited amount of time or as a starter to a longer visit to truly know the island!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed discovering Mykonos with Angela — her passion for the island is absolutely contagious! It’s great to hear the tour helped you see so much in a short time. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for a longer visit next time!

Dora the explorer

mon924, Oct 2025
Dora made our excursion interesting and very informative. We were lucky to have her as our guide. I did not regret I took this excursion since there are more to Mykonos to explore.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Mykonos with Dora — she has a real gift for sharing the island’s stories and hidden gems. It’s wonderful to hear you discovered there’s so much more to Mykonos than meets the eye!

Must do tour of Mykonos

Sian_C, Oct 2025
Had a great time on this trip seeing such beautiful places we would definitely not have seen had we not done this tour. Very enjoyable time and Andrea was a fantastic host - incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable from longstanding personal experience of the island in relation to the tour information and offering additonal helpful information about the island to benefit the rest of our stay. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful!

GwenS, Oct 2025
This was a very thorough and interesting tour of the island with opportunities to get off the bus and enjoy the scenery and take pictures. The last hour is walking around the town. The time off the bus could be challenging for those mobility issues. Andrea, our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Half Day Mykonos Tour

Susan_B, Oct 2025
The bus tour was good because the tour guide kept us entertained and gave us lots of information. The walking part of the tour wasn’t good because the group was too large, we couldn’t hear the tour guide and the tour guide went too fast leaving some people behind.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the island tour and the guide’s commentary. We’re sorry to hear the walking portion didn’t feel as smooth — we’ll be sure to review this with our team to improve coordination and pacing. We truly appreciate your honesty and hope to welcome you back to Mykonos for an even better experience next time.

Amazing tour with Andrea

alwayzjuarez, Sep 2025
Our tour guide Andrea was so knowledgeable she was super nice and showed us such an amazing part of the island of Mykonos! Our driver I might mess his name up zizi’s was OMG, I don’t know how he maneuvers that huge bus on those tiny roads but he does and got us from A-Z safely. I loved the tour, I highly recommend it. Great job @itravelmykonos

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you loved the tour and that Andrea made it so memorable with her kindness and deep knowledge of Mykonos.
