Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for the great review! Glad I could show you the right spots and adjust the tour to what you wanted. Hope to see you again in Mykonos!
My mother and I visited Mykonos for the first time this September and we had an OUTSTANDING time with Alexander. He was extremely kind and welcoming from the moment he picked us up at our hotel. He brought us to all parts of the island and customized our tour based on our preferences. We saw breathtaking views and learned SO much about the history of the island. Alex was a joy to be with, and would highly recommend his tour to anyone who visits Mykonos. As a local, he knows all of the good spots, and he certainly knows how to navigate all of the busy and windy roads of the island!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for the lovely review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you both. I’m happy you enjoyed the views, history, and of course… my famous Mykonos driving skills! 😂 Hope to see you again someday!
Teo was a great guide! He was professional and made the entire experience very enjoyable. We had a really fun day in Mykonos and got to see a lot of sites that were off the beaten path and much more than some of our fellow travelers. We would definitely recommend this excursion.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your kindness, we are very happy you had an enjoyable experience with Teo!
Very comprehensive tour of the island with all the best and important places including a couple of secret beaches to visit. Our guide Nicos couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming 10/10
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your review, we are happy you explore some of the hidden beaches of the island!Hope to welcome tou back!
Our time in Mykonos with Alex was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met him, Alex was warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing his beautiful hometown with us.
Mykonos is breathtakingly beautiful, but Alex made our experience even more special. His knowledge of the island, its history, culture, and local life brought everything we saw to life. He was attentive to every detail and made sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment of our morning together.
We only wish we could have stayed longer! After returning to our cruise ship, we heard that the previous Princess cruise had been unable to dock because of the windy weather. We felt incredibly fortunate and blessed that we had the opportunity to visit Mykonos—and especially to experience it with Alex.
Thank you, Alex, for your wonderful hospitality, excellent service, and for making our visit so memorable.!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Weijia! It was a real pleasure meeting you and showing you some of the special places that make Mykonos so unique.
I truly enjoyed sharing a little of the island’s local life with you. I hope you’ll come back one day for a longer stay and even more exploring!
Wishing you safe travels and hoping to welcome you back to Mykonos soon!
We had a very enjoyable private tour of Mykonos. Our guide was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable, and he made sure our time together went smoothly from beginning to end. Everything was handled professionally and exactly as expected.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words Rebecca! It was a pleasure showing you Mykonos. We are very happy you enjoyed the tour.
I wanted to share with you our wonderful experience with Alex as our tour guide when we visited Mykonos back in May 2026. Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic 1/2 day tour around the island and he suggested that we finish it off with the sunset experience at the light house. We learned much about the wonderful island from Alex. Alex is very friendly, speaks excellent English and gave us advice as to activities for us to do outside of the tour. I can't say enough about Alex and would give him a higher rating than 5 stars. If you are looking for a professional tour guide who knows Mykonos like the back of his hand, look no further. Alex is the guy for you! He will show you his love for his wonderful island and country!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! Reading reviews like yours is the best reward I could ask for. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the island through my eyes. I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour, the sunset at the lighthouse, and all the stories about Mykonos. Thank you for trusting me with your day and for recommending me to other travelers. I truly hope to welcome you back to Mykonos one day!
If you are looking for a private tour, which is customizable and with a very friendly guide who loves the island, this is it! Alex is so passionate about Mykonos and its culture. He took us to a lot of local areas away from the main tourist attractions. I would highly recommend the tour company as they want to preserve the identity of the island and showcase. It’s best areas.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for such a kind review!
I really appreciate your words about my passion for Mykonos. Bringing you to our hidden, local spots and sharing the authentic side of our culture is exactly what makes this work so rewarding for me. I'm incredibly grateful that our mission to protect and honor the island's heritage resonated with you.
It was a joy hosting you!
Great tour. Alexandros was terrific. He took us to uncrowded, almost secret spots. Great views. Knowledgeable! Flexible.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure showing you around Mykonos and taking you to some of my favorite hidden spots. I'm glad you enjoyed the views and the flexibility of the tour. Hope to see you again someday!
We wanted to see the island on our first full day. This tour was perfect. He took us to the places that were highlights as well as some other great stopping points for pictures. It was tailored to leave out a spot or two that we were visiting later in our visit. However, he made sure to show us his own favorite spots on Mykonos. Do not miss out on the Lighthouse and being able to have such a nice and professional guide customize a tour. Excellent experience!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much Mr.David for your wonderful review! We’re very happy you enjoyed the tour and our favorite spots on Mykonos. It was a pleasure showing you the island. We hope to see you again!
Alex was a fantastic guide who truly wanted to make sure the experience matched everything we were hoping for. He even stopped and bought us a coffee and a bottle of water as well. We saw many places in Mykonos that the larger tours don’t take you to. Alex felt like an old friend and was a great host.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much! I really loved showing you around Mykonos and taking you to those quiet, hidden spots. I'm so glad it felt like hanging out with an old friend.
You are welcome back anytime. Safe travels!
Alex was very informative and willing to adapt to our needs. At the end of the tour we felt as if we made a new friend
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure spending time with you, and I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour. Meeting wonderful people like you is one of the best parts of my job. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again in Mykonos someday!
Amazing authentic tour. Loved Alex, our tour guide. Definitely a must if in Mykonos. He even made other recommendations for the balance of our trip. Kids really enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much! I am so happy you and the kids had a great time exploring Mykonos with me. It was a joy to help you plan the rest of your trip, too!
You have a wonderful family, and you are welcome back anytime.
Our private highlights tour with Theo was one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Greece. As first-time visitors to Mykonos, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Theo was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about sharing the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems.
What truly set him apart was his personality. He was warm, engaging, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. He tailored the tour to our interests, answered every question thoroughly, and shared fascinating local insights that we never would have discovered on our own.
By the end of the tour, we felt like we had not only seen Mykonos but truly understood it. Theo’s enthusiasm and expertise made the island come alive. We learned so much and created memories that will last a lifetime.
If you’re visiting Mykonos, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Theo. He is an exceptional guide and a wonderful person. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Theo was absolutely delighted to read it.
He loves sharing stories and hidden spots of Mykonos, and he is so happy he could make your first visit to Mykonos unforgettable. It was a true pleasure hosting you.
The tour operator/ driver was a wonderful informative driver. The island itself does not need a full 4/5 hours unless you are dropped off at a beach location. Overall recommend but value for the tour is a bit on the higher end !
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind comments about our driver and for sharing your experience.
We would like to clarify that the island offers far more to explore than can be covered in just a few hours, and many visitors find that even 4–5 hours is not enough to fully appreciate it. During your visit, a considerable part of the available time was spent at a local taverna by personal choice, which naturally limited the time dedicated to sightseeing and exploring the island.
For this reason, we feel it may be difficult to fully assess whether 4–5 hours on the island is too much time, as the tour was not experienced in its entirety as most guests choose to do.
We appreciate your feedback and are delighted that you enjoyed the tour overall.
Fortis gave us an amazing tour of his island Mykonos! His ability to navigate all of the narrow roads was so good, as he has lived here his whole life. We saw the light house, got our feet in the water at a beautiful beach and went to a gorgeous monastery. Fotis even treated us to refreshments at his favorite bakery and the coins that we would need for the bathroom. Highly recommend this private tour where he were picked up and dropped off right from our hotel 😀👍
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed exploring Mykonos with Fotis and experiencing some of his favorite local spots along the way. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us.
We hope to welcome you back to Mykonos again soon!
If I could give 6 Stars I would. Our Guide Alexandros firstly treated us like we were part of his family. He gave us several suggestions of where we like to go but we just left it up to him. We didn't wast any time in the part of the towns and shops. But he drove us all around his beautiful Island. He explained in detail all of the history of the island and took us to places only a local could. He spoke with so much passion. I would very highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much my friends!
Now I feel like I have family all over the world! I’m very happy you enjoyed the tour and trusted me to show you the real island, hidden spots, stories, and a little local madness 😄
Thank you for the beautiful review and for sharing the day with me!
Alexandros will tailor a tour to your exact needs. He's a very careful driver, with complete knowledge of Mykonos. Very good English skills.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the tailored experience and felt safe and well taken care of throughout your time in Mykonos.
Alexandros was a wonderful guide.he is very knowledgeable and shared his local knowledge and expertise with us. We highly recommend seeing all the best of Mykonos with Alex. Many thanks!!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! Alexandros will be very happy to hear this. It was a pleasure showing you the best of Mykonos, and we truly appreciate the recommendation!
Our driver was great. He was very knowledgeable. We were able to go at our own pace at different stops.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your review!
Our 8-person group did a private tour and had a wonderful experience. My husband was feeling under the weather and the guide went out of his way to take us to the pharmacy and get us some Mykonos delicacies (oatmeal cookies😋). All of us would highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We had such a fun time with your group. And just for the record… those were famous Mykonian macaroons, not oatmeal cookies, either way, we’re happy they did the trick! Hope to see all 8 of you back in Mykonos again soon!
It was amazing experience with our tour guide . He was so informative on everything about Mykonos and took us to nice spots . He offered to take pictures of us and asked if there was anything specific we wanted to do , very kind and a great driver, I learned so much from him in a short period of time . Def worth every dollar .

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated your guide’s knowledge, kindness, and flexibility. It’s great to know the experience was worth it for you,thank you for joining us!
Amazing experience! Our guide Spartak was amazing. So friendly, so knowledgeable. He’s lived on the island for 16 years so he knew many of the locals which made our experience feel so much more authentic. I highly recommend doing this tour, especially if you’re weighing this against a larger group tour. This was a much better experience and you can go at your own pace with a guide that knows everything you need to know about Mykonos.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for this wonderful review! Spartak is thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated his local knowledge and experience. We’re so glad the private tour made your time in Mykonos feel authentic and relaxed. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
What can I say, not to be missed! Alexander is an incredible guide and was able to show me things that would not be available on many other tours. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for the great review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and the unique spots we visited. Your recommendation means a lot,hope to see you again!
Such an amazing way to spend our last day in Mykonos! Alex was such an amazing tour guide and we learned so much about the island. The information we got was not generic information you find online and was based on the history you can only get from a local Mykonian. Our only regret was not booking a longer tour. If we have the opportunity to come back to Mykonos, we would happily book again with Alex to hear about the other areas we haven’t seen. The tour was well paced with enough time to stop and he offered many photos and opportunities to customize the tour. He truly does care for Mykonos and it has been our favourite tour from our whole Greece trip. Whether you have only a day or a few days, I would highly recommend booking a tour!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I’m really happy you enjoyed your last day in Mykonos with me and that the stories and hidden history made it special. It means a lot to hear it was your favorite tour of Greece! I’d love to show you even more of the island next time you visit.
Excellent guide for Mykonos! We were so surprised to learn about the history of the islands and surrounding islands. Alex is an excellent guide and showed us many of the hidden places around the island, great food recommendations and very flexible. We could not haves asked for a better tour and experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and the hidden spots around Mykonos. It was a pleasure sharing the island’s history (and food tips!) with you.
Last minute decision (30 minutes prior) to get a quick tour of Mykonos during our 1 night stay. Tour guide Alex arrived on time and in a comfortable car. Being a local, he was very knowledgeable and able to show us some great spots. Definitely recommend Alex!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad Alex was able to make your last-minute decision such a memorable one. His local knowledge and hospitality truly make a difference, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back to Mykonos for a longer stay next time!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Alex was a phenomenal tour guide giving us the best of Mykonos experience! We toured the town and Alex shared is wealth of knowledge on all the highlights etc. before exploring the island visiting other villages, beaches and highest point! This was by far one of the best travel experience and we shall look forward to visiting Mykonos again and will request Alex again! Alex gave us flexibility to take pictures and we saw the best of the best of Mykonos!! We even had time for a traditional Mykonos dinner along the waterfront! Spectacular Day!!
Thank you, Alex!

Wow, what a joy it was to spend the day with you all! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I'm truly happy to hear that you had such a memorable time exploring Mykonos with me.
It was a pleasure showing you the town’s hidden gems, the panoramic views from the island’s highest point, and the beauty of the beaches and traditional villages. I’m especially glad you enjoyed the relaxed pace, the photo stops, and of course, that delicious waterfront dinner to cap off the day—what a perfect way to end a Mykonian adventure!
I already look forward to welcoming you back to the island one day. Until then, keep those Mykonos memories close, and thank you again for making my job such a rewarding experience.
We booked this last minute and it was one of the highlights of our whole trip. Julio was so informative and kind driving us all over the island offering info and stopping for photos. It was a clean and comfortable ride. He dropped us at a local tavern and we arranged for him to pick us back up.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy to hear Julio made your trip special. He always enjoys showing guests around and making sure they’re comfortable. Glad it was a highlight of your visit!
