The guide for the driving portion did a fair job of pointing out & giving information as we went. The walking portion was poor. No slowing down for pictures or information. We stood around for 1/2 hour at the windmills for some reason. The only thing I learned in town was where an ancient bakery we were expected to purchase from was located.
Linda_S, Apr 2026
With a recent injury Nikos was able to accommodate my limitations during the trip and arranged to return me before the walking portion to the ship. His flexibility and kindness were so greatly appreciated.
Kate_S, Jan 2026
This was the perfect experience for us. Easy pick up and drop off. They made sure to include all the highlights of Mykonos. Really nice and knowledgeable tour guides - both for the driving and walking part. Perfect for cruise people. Easy communication with the operator. Vexperio/Viator did a really good job with this tour. Thank you!!
Raquel_S, Jan 2026
Mykonos was not quite our favorite island, a bit too overhyped and overrun, but this tour was great nevertheless. Both tour guides were lovely, pick up and drop off timely and just as described. Super easy to find the and best of all was the tour group’s small size - all other island tours seem to run in crowds of 40-50 people. Highly recommend!
Min_L, Jan 2026
This was a fantastic tour. We enjoyed both the driving and walking part. Tour guides were delightful, and helped us make the best of our time there. So much better touring in a small group!! We will surely be back to explore more of the Greek Islands.

Renata was fabulous. Her walking tour of Mykonos was extremely entertaining. We very much enjoyed the experience. The bus tour of the island was terrific. Especially enjoyed the views from the lighthouse.
Ronald_H, Nov 2025
Walking is a bit strenuous take your time, we left group shopped but didn’t climb any hills. Both guides were extremely nice.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Ronald,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed The Best Mykonos Small-Group Shore Excursion and appreciated our friendly guides.
Our Mykonos tour is designed with both a comfortable van portion and a guided walking segment to help minimize walking while still maximizing your overall experience on the island. We’re delighted to know you found our guides professional and enjoyable to spend the day with.

Great tour guide. "Georgia" was very good at explaining the area and for taking our pictures. Lots of walking over 3.5 miles in a 4hr tour. A little riding in a van across the island. Many places we went were great views of the water and area. If you're ok with walking I would definitely recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Todd,
Thank you so much for your kind review and for joining our Mykonos Small-Group Shore Excursion. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Georgia made your experience so memorable — she’ll be thrilled to know her efforts were appreciated!
You’re absolutely right, Mykonos is best explored on foot, and we’re glad the beautiful views made the walking worthwhile.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another Vexperio tour in the future — perhaps with a little less walking next time!
Warm regards,
The Vexperio Team

We were met with the tour guide/driver who spoke about the lighthouse and other areas. When taken into town it was not clear on the walking tour and pickup. Bit of a shambles really and very short for the money paid for the trip. Would nit fi thus tour again.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Kim,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Your tour took place on October 21, and we sent detailed meeting instructions on October 14. These included our office contact numbers and clear guidance for the meeting and pickup points. We also always encourage guests to speak with the guide or call us directly during the tour if anything is unclear — our team is always happy to assist on the spot.
The tour duration and itinerary are clearly outlined on the booking page, so guests know in advance what to expect. We regret that it felt shorter than anticipated, but we truly appreciate your comments as they help us continue refining our services.

Loved this excursion! Our guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable about the history of their home. Started out with a walking tour through the old town to the windmills. Then we drove all over the island. But the guides were what made this trip truly fun!! Thank you ❤️
Heather_G, Oct 2025
This is a great way to see so much of Mykonos! Our 2 tour guides, Andreas (Andrew) and Jorja (Georgia?) were great and attentive to all the people in our group. They both were also willing to take pictures of groups wherever we wanted them.
MariaArzel_L, Oct 2025
It was a rainy day in Mykonos, but we still had fun. The Guide Maria still made it fun for us. I definitely recommend this tour!
Deborah_S, Oct 2025
If you are on a cruise ship and tendering to the Old Port know there are 2 drop off points at opposite ends. Fortunately the Tour company was very accommodating and was able to find room on the next tour after missing the 1st one due to mishap with meeting point location. Our driver, Andreas, was clever and delighted us with tales and facts whilst showing us parts of the island. Renata, our walking tour guide, was a charming young lady who made time to chat with each and everyone on the tour walking the 'main' street as well as the many alleyways. Glad we did this tour in late October with less visitors than height of tourist season as the narrow walkways would have been overwhelmingly claustrophobic.
Irina_O, Oct 2025
Very knowledgeable, flexible, kind and professional. Our entire family loved the entire excursion. We have kids (8 and 10 y.o). Georgia made sure to include kids interest and held their interest the entire time. Highly recommend!!
Amado_y, Oct 2025
The tour is very informative, definitely a must do, this is the best way to view and learn of the history of Acropolis.
Eve_W, Oct 2025
The tour guides are knowledgeable. The walking tour is great.
Pick up and return was a little confusing.
Peter_C, Oct 2025
the tour and tour guide were excellent however the meeting point was extremely far from the cruise terminal . We walked for roughly one mile to meet the tour only to find out we had to walk all the way just to start the walking tour
Tennille_T, Oct 2025
We had a Wonderful experience with the 2 Tour Guides, George and Socrates! They were very knowledgeable, helpful and professional! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Theresa_B, Oct 2025
With the walking tour, if you are traveling with someone who has feet or knee issues you may want to consider stopping about 1/4 way on the walk, have a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. You can then pick back up with them on their return.
Tracy_G, Oct 2025
Easy pickup right at cruise ship. Then a small group walking tour of old town. Then a bus ride to lighthouse for great photos and stop at a nice beach with a little time to get your feet in the water.
Colleen_B, Oct 2025
Tour includes 2 hours of walking and 2 hours of touring by van. Would have been more enjoyable if there was a break in the walking tour for a drink or gelato.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Colleen,
Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found the tour interesting and enjoyed discovering Mykonos with us.
You’re absolutely right — this particular tour does not include a break or free time, as it’s designed to fit both the walking and driving portions within the limited hours available for cruise guests. However, for guests who have more time, you are very welcome to stay in Mykonos Town after the tour to relax, have a drink, or enjoy some ice cream before returning to the ship.
We truly appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again on another Vexperio tour!
Warm regards,
Natalia

A thorough 2-hour walk through Mykonos, including the windmills and Little Venice, followed by a drive through the island to the lighthouse, the village of Ano Mera and a stop at Kalafati beach.
While enjoyable, we misunderstood the amount of walking and the pace in Mykonos town. This is not for the faint of heart or those with mobility issues.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Ann,
Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed exploring Mykonos and seeing its highlights.
For any guests with mobility issues, we always recommend informing us in advance, so we can advise if a particular tour is suitable. In such cases, we often suggest private tours, which allow for a slower pace and a more comfortable experience.
We truly appreciate your thoughts and hope to welcome you again on another Vexperio tour!
Warm regards,

Ask for Nikos and Georgia! They are the best! Knowledgable and welcoming! They know so much history and were happy to share their knowledge.
Gwendolyn_M, Sep 2025
Both tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I also appreciate their willingness to take pictures giving another perspective on an epic trip! I would recommend allotting more time to sit down to an authentic Greek meal. The bakery was the best ever!
Max_T, Sep 2025
Fantastic tour with Theodore; the walking tour was informative, fun, and personable. We appreciated the comfortable pace on a hot day. We will not hesitate to book with Theodore again!
Tiffany_M, Sep 2025
Andrew and Gabriel were fantastic! Nice pace for each part of the tour. They both shared so much information.
Milane_H, Aug 2025
The tour guides were great. Took us to the top of the island for great photos. Explained the history very well. Helped us with photos and tailored our excursion to our group.
The second tour included the windmills and the area of Little Venice which was very informative and great.
Eric_E, Aug 2025
Our tour was great!!! Andreas and Theo were amazing guides. Both guides had a wealth of knowledge about Mykonos from the history to the current local happenings. We enjoyed good pastries at one of the oldest bakeries, if you like baklava, this is the place to go. The views from the lighthouse were breathtaking. The beach was not crowded but the water was chilly and it was another beautiful scenic place to take photos and relax. Big shout out to you Theo for the added assistance while we were by Little Italy. I almost forgot, make sure you get pics by the Windmills another memorable photo spot. Thanks again Andreas and Theo for a wonderful experience.
Keith_S, Aug 2025
Andres and Geogia, our guides met us before our assigned time and as the whole group was there, we set off right away. The driving part of the tour brought us to the highlights of the island including the light house and the amazing views and to the most beautiful beach to appreciate the beauty of the water. We then continued with the walking tour. Georgia guided us through the narrow winding streets sharing the history and her love of Mykonos.
If you are interested in exploring this beautiful island, this tour is perfect.
Kerri_F, Aug 2025
It was great to walk with Theo thru Mykonos town and then a car ride to see all the rest of the Island with a quick stop at the local beach. Andreas was a great guide.
