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!

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!
Jerome_G, May 2026
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.
Phyllis_E, May 2026
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.

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!
Nicole_K, Oct 2025
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 .
Response from Host, Dec 2025
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!
Rohit_A, Oct 2025
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!
Christina_H, Oct 2025
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!
Cecilia_K, Sep 2025
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.
Tama_B, Sep 2025
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.
Nicole_A, Sep 2025
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.
Stacey_V, Jun 2025
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!

The perfect way to see Mykonos. Alex, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience in a beautiful place.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure showing you around this beautiful island. So glad you enjoyed the experience!
Mike_E, May 2025
Alex was incredible. We took a casual walk through town and he told us about the history and different aspects of the town. We then drove around the island and were able to get an understanding of what it is like on Mykonos. This private tour was a great choice. Sure you could go exploring yourself, but you are missing out on the details of what you are looking at. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Alex.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot! I had a great time showing you around and sharing a bit of Mykonos' story with you. It’s such a special place, and I’m glad you got to see more than just the surface. Hope to see you back on the island one day — I’ll be here!😁

This was the perfect way to explore Mykonos if you’re short on time. Our guide, Alexandros, was excellent- cannot recommend him enough!! He was very knowledgeable about the island, & easy going (had no problems with us doing a little shopping), & also took some great photos of us! If you’re on the fence about what tour to book, book this one & ask for Alexandros! :)
Response from Host, May 2025
Hey, thanks a bunch for that great review! I’m happy you enjoyed the tour and don’t worry, those shopping breaks are totally part of the plan. After all, what’s a Mykonos trip without a little retail therapy? Glad I could snap some pics that didn’t make you look too awkward!😂
If you’re ever back, I’ll have even more secret spots ready to show you. Until then, keep rocking those souvenir bags!
Yoko_S, May 2025
What a wonderful way to see Mykonos! Alex communicated with me regarding the pickup time and additional details, even ensuring we were going to be at the correct port as a new one had been built. It was such a relaxing experience to be driven to less touristy areas and see more of the local culture. He was extremely professional, always very prompt with responses/follow up information, sights, and provided insight on the local areas he took us to. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to see all things Mykonos!!
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you had such a great experience exploring Mykonos with Alex. He takes great pride in offering personalized, smooth, and insightful tours, and it's wonderful to know that his attention to detail and communication helped make your visit even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to discover even more of the island’s hidden gems in the future!
Patricia_p, May 2025
Great tour. We had plenty of time to see the beautiful sights and cities and be back in time for the cruise departure.
Alex was so flexible and friendly. He provided us with slot of options so we could include photos of picturesque views. He knew all the streets of the city so well that we were able to get to areas ahead of cruise ships
We were back on time for the tender plus I did some shopping
Thanks Alex we had a great time
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and had time to do some shopping. It was a pleasure showing you around, safe travels and hope to see you again!
Eric_P, Oct 2024
Superb tour around Mykonos with a private guide whose name is Alex. Kind guy who’s is a local so he didn’t to be informed of what’s on the Island as he grew there ! We had a fun and smooth ride in a clean and well maintained car. Alex was always asking if we’d like more time either to swim, take more pictures or just chill at every places we went. He suggested us a top beach that was quiet and enjoyable ! I was hesitant to book this tour with only a couple of reviews but don’t be this is well worth the price !! Great job Alex you helped us generate great souvenirs !
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much for your amazing review! It was a blast showing you around Mykonos—I’m so glad you enjoyed the ride, the quiet beach, and the chance to relax and take some great photos. I’m thrilled that you trusted me, even with just a few reviews, and I promise I’m not always this good at finding hidden spots (just kidding, I totally am!). It was a pleasure helping you create unforgettable memories. Hope to see you again soon!
