We had a great time on our walking tour. Mariana was very informative and even suggested some great areas to take pictures. The tour was well paced and we never felt rushed. The bakery was a great stop. Coffee and pastries were DELICIOUS. 😋

Even though we checked out the town pretty well the day before, we were thrilled to find new and kind of secret spots plus hear the stories, history and gossip of the town with Andy. We felt like we met a new friend. ♥️

Antonio was just terrific. We struggled from the beginning with knowing how to connect with him and our group was not exactly organized. We wound up getting to the meeting point 30 min late and Antonio was as gracious as could be. LOVED that he recommended getting there early as we avoided the throngs of people taking the cruise ship tour and basically were able to walk unimpeded through the streets. My 23 year old was able to take tons of selfies in all the charming corners as well. As a 40 year resident of Mykonos he provided great historical context, but also up to date insights of what island life is like. Antonio was also most considerate of my 83 yr old mother and ensuring that everyone's needs and expectations were managed. Highly recommend!

Our guide was great, provided so much information we never would have known without him. He helped navigate the winding streets and was a great quick overview tour. would have loved more time but since we were on a cruise visit, this was perfect!

We loved walking around the town of Mykonos with Eleonora, our guide. She was so kind and informative. She made the tour effortless as there were so many different paths to take. We loved the theater and and all the churches and beautiful floral trees. Thanks to Eleonora, we have such lovely pictures of all the beautiful sites. We can’t wait to share them with our family and friends upon our return. Once the tour had ended, Eleonora did not leave us until she was sure we were securely on our way back to our ship. We highly recommend taking a walking tour with Eleonora! Thank you for some beautiful memories!

Eleonora was superb! Really informative and a pleasure to be around.
A must do trip for anyone in Mykonos! If you do it the moment you arrive so then you get to know where you are! The little alleys everywhere can be mindblowing!

Pako was amazing! He gave us an incredible tour and was very warm and welcoming. Mykonos-old town is beautiful and the history that we were able to see was worth the walking. I highly suggest this tour and make sure you get Pako!

Dora was great… the tour was a short and comfortable two hours, which was perfect for us. We did not want to spend too much time out in the blazing sun. She gave us the major sites with lots of great background and history. She even explained a bit about the local politics, and Greece in general, which was very interesting. Dora also used to work as a concierge, so she had great recommendations for shopping and restaurants!

Our guide, Dora, was very knowledgeable about the history of the island of Mykonos. She even showed us where famous movies were filmed on the island. Dora navigated us through the maze of the shops in the center city. We truly enjoyed the tour and her company. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!!

Thank you Andy for your help showing us around Mykonos town and showing us all the high lights ! We were able to see parts we wouldn’t have without Andy’s help! We even got to have a great dessert together in a hidden gem a bakery from the 1400s! You will see it all with this tour. Thank you so much ! May 2023.

Our guide knew the streets of Mykonos like the back of his hand. We covered a LOT of ground! We learned so much about the little churches, the town heroine, local art, thevoldest bakery, and history behind the windmills.
Rachel_D, Apr 2023
Such a wonderful tour! We were able to see all of downtown Mykonos and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would totally recommend!

Andy was charming and insightful on our 2 hour tour of Mykonos town. Great overview of what the area has to offer and set is up for a nice adventure afterwards. Highly recommend.
Gina_N, Nov 2022
Experiencing Mykonos like a local was very nice. We were able to see the local back streets and what it was slike to live there versus only seeing the tourist spots. Such a beautiful place to explore!
Aimee_H, Jul 2022

What an excellent way to see Mykonos for the first time. Our cruise ship was lucky enough to dock at the new cruise port (vs tendering) and we had a free shuttle to the town center where we met our guide Paco. He doesn’t just show you the ‘big attractions’, he takes you down the back streets and hidden areas of the city so you can really get a good idea of day to day life on this beautiful island. The bougainvillea are beginning to bloom and what gorgeous color!! We saw the windmills, walked thru some amazing bars/restaurants right on the water that I’m sure come alive at night as well as he took us to the very top spot of the island to get some amazing pictures. He even found us a little private family chapel that was open today so we could understand how most worship here. He was great at explaining culture, day to day life and answered our many questions with patience.
Fantastic day!!!
Just a note- If you do ‘dock’ at the new port, do NOT try to walk to town center as there are no safe sidewalks once you get past the port. The cruise shuttle will take you right to the spot to meet the guide.
Be sure to try the pork gyros- no lamb in site. Wear good tennis shoes as you will be doing some climbing!
Emma_H, May 2022
Guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were new to the island so he told us where to go for the best food and drink and took us to some of the cultural highlights. Really enjoyable

Pako was amazing we had such a great time !! He showed us the most amazing views in Mykonos! So glad that we decided to do his tour!
Erica_G, Apr 2022
Paco was a great guide very knowledgeable and had a humor that fit with us well. We explored the city and he shared all the secret spots and tricks to getting around the city. He walked us almost all the way back to our hotel so we didn't get lost. Great city with a great tour guide.

All the best !

We booked a Private Walking Tour during our recent holiday in Greece. Pako was great with communication beforehand and coordinated a meeting point that was convenient for us. We needed to shorten our tour last minute because our kids were cranky but he was extremely flexible and able to accommodate our request. We still saw the Windmills, Little Venice, and other highlights in a short amount of time. He gave us wonderful background and insight into life on Mykonos. There was history information but we were more interested in local life which he was happy to tell us about. He was very friendly and nice. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Wendy_C, Sep 2021
We really enjoyed this tour, lasted about two hours and we were guided through all the hidden alleyways in Mykonos town and was given tons of history and stories. Our guide was excellent. Would highly recommend this on your first day in Mykonos.
