We had an incredible experience with Bill! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Mykonos, and the private tour was well worth the investment. Bill is friendly and truly an excellent person to spend the day with.
What we appreciated most was how he tailored the experience specifically to our interests, blending the island's rich history with the sights we actually wanted to see. If you’re looking for a guide who is both professional and personable, I highly recommend booking with Bill!

What an amazing tour! My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Bill, our tour guide, and the tour itself. Despite having 3 cruise ships docked in Mykonos on the day of our tour, Bill kept us away from the crowds. Because he is a true local, he knew the cruise ships' tour schedules and timed our visits to the scenic locations so that we were almost the only people there. We sometimes felt like we were the only people on the island! Bill truly cared about the quality of our tour experience and he tailored the trip to meet our desires. He also knew the most breathtaking locations for photos, the prettiest beaches, and pointed out fabulous summer mansions. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a locally owned restaurant perched on a hill overlooking Mykonos town. The highlights of the tour were visiting a beach resort where Bill was friends with the owner, and we were privileged to see the interior of a family's private church because Bill knew the family. His knowledge of the island's history was impeccable, and we loved his descriptions of how things looked in the past. He also treated us to some of the best Greek iced coffee I have ever had, and we very much enjoyed the bottle of wine later that evening.

Excellent tour of Mykonos with Marios our tour guide. He is a native of Mykonos and was an excellent resource to show us the island. He showed us an excellent restaurant right on the water that was not at all busy and seemed to be filled mostly with vocals. It was excellent food and an excellent view. We were able to see many of the beaches, the lighthouse, monastery and smaller towns. He also showed us some of the large estates and gave us the history of the island.

Fabulous island and an even more fabulous tour guide Bill! We were looking for a private tour with a small group and this was PERFECT! Saw every bit of the island, Bill was our professional photographer and even showed us a few “secret” spots. Upon ending the tour he gave us a list of preferred restaurants and thing to check out in Old Town. We WILL be back and will find Viator and Bill to show us the island

Oh my goodness. We had the very best day with our personal guide Bill. He was so welcoming and like meeting up with an old friend. He took us to all the usual spots and then even suggested that we stop for lunch at an authentic Greek restaurant. Bill was extremely flexible and tailored our day around our requests.
I highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see the city through the eyes of an experienced guide who treats you like family.

Marios was very informative and pleasant. He had some great local tips and suggestions. Most of all he made us feel very welcomed.
MikeLawrence, Oct 2025
We spent the day on Mykonos with Marios. Marios was born and raised on Mykonos and he loves his island. It was a fantastic day of exploring the whole island. We even went to his family village. We got to share a lot about life with Marios and it made our day.
Thomas_P, Oct 2025
The four hour tour was very insightful and our guide was very informative. We learned a lot of history and current activities about the island.
Erayna_G, Oct 2025
We enjoyed our drive and tour around the island. Our driver took us to the key spots to get great photos. He also recommended a great lunch spot.
Robin_H, Oct 2025
We had the best day in Mykonos thanks to Bill! We arrived via cruise ship and the communication and pick up were seamless. We did a 4 hr tour around the island and saw the most beautiful sites and even tried some Greek coffee and pastries with the personal touch from Bill, a local with 25+ years of tour/driving experience.
We ended our tour at the Old Port/Little Venice and Bill was super helpful again on what to see, where to eat and how to get back to the port (since we wanted to spend more time).
If second guessing this tour, don’t! Book now and request Bill. You won’t regret your decision.
We truly feel blessed for this day and will be looking back on all the photos (that Bill took for us), for our lifetime💙

Armando was a great host for our half day tour in Mykonos. Excellent pre-tour communication and flexible pick up to match our cruise disembarkation time made things stress free from the start. All in all, a great way to see the island made all the better by Armando’s warm personality and entertaining conversation.
Adam_B, Oct 2025
This was a great 4-hour tour of all the key sights, including incredible views. Our guide had a great plan and also invited our input to customize the day.
Pavlos was knowledgeable and engaging. He was helpful and friendly and offered great recommendations for other activities, places to visit and local restaurants.
Amy_C, Oct 2025
Could not have asked for a better tour guide. Marios grew up on the island and showed us some magical beaches that the locals go to. He also took us to a restaurant right along the water. Mykonos was our favorite stop on our cruise. It is a wonderful and peaceful island.
Cheryl_S, Oct 2025
We had a great day in Mykonos with Mario’s. He showed us all around the island and explained a lot of history. We stop in his little village and had a great lunch at a local restaurant. We would absolutely book this tour again.
Gregory_V, Sep 2025
We had a fantastic tour. Marios was our guide. Obviously a local who knew all the great places to take us for the gorgeous views of the island. Would definitely recommend this fine young gentleman as a guide. His knowledge of the island and its history was outstanding. He filled us with stories of ancient times and also stories of local lore. Thank you, Marios.
Irene_B, Sep 2025
Marios was our guide and driver and he was awesome ! We stopped by all the great places and took great pictures. It was very informative and interesting. Marios knows everything about Mykonos and that was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this excursion to everyone!

Our group of four adults arrived in Mykonos on a Celebrity cruise and wanted an overview of the island. We met our guide, Armando, at an agreed upon meeting place and he provided us with waters and proceeded to show us many picturesque sights, giving us plenty of photo stops and sharing history and present day information about the island. Armando had a very sweet spirit and made our journey with him enjoyable. Two of us had visited the old town of Mykonos before so being able to see some of the beaches and another village as well as a high point on the island at an old lighthouse gave us a better perspective of the island. We would highly recommend this tour and Armando in particular for his warm personality and commentary in sharing his island life experiences with us.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your detailed and kind review! We’re delighted that Armando gave you such a wonderful overview of Mykonos, combining history, local insights, and stunning sights.

MARCIO_B, Aug 2025
Our guide Marios was terrific! He started out by suggesting we move our tour hour from 9am to 4:30pm so we could catch the sunset at the end of the tour. That was a great suggestion. Very punctual, arrived on time and from start to finish shown to be very attentive and ready to answer any questions we had.
The tour was exactly what we hoped for and we recommend it.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

His punctuality, attentiveness, and willingness to answer every question truly set the tone for a great tour. We’re delighted it was exactly what you were hoping for, and we sincerely appreciate your recommendation!

Just visited with the family and our guide Marios made us feel like we were visiting an old friend who was showing us around his town. He was great explaining life around Mykonos, was very friendly, took the time to chat, stop, relax, and take pictures. He even recommended places we could visit once our tour was over. Very recommended!

Great way to see the real Mykonos away from the tourist centre Take in the whole island beaches tiny chapels rural landscape
Especially the old light house and the story of its use in the 2 nd world war
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering the “real” Mykonos beyond the tourist center, with its beaches, tiny chapels, rural landscapes, and of course the old lighthouse with its fascinating WWII history. We hope to welcome you back again soon for even more discoveries on the island!

Pavlos is an amazing guide showed our party of 15 adults and kids (7-16yo) the best of Mykonos. He was very responsive in coordinating our meetup and we thoroughly enjoyed the few hours we spent together
Rodney_E, Jul 2025
Phenomenal experience. Our guide was Pablo’s, a delightful gentleman with perfect command of English language. We were picked up from the hotel promptly taken to several spots around the island to get an overview of Mykonos. He took his time and made sure we were comfortable all the time. If you’d like to see the island from different perspective, this is an ideal tour for you.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We truly appreciate your review — not only because you were satisfied, but also because of the thoughtful feedback you shared about our driver and the way you experienced the island.
It means a lot to us that you found it so interesting!
Thank you!

We were in Mykonos for the day from our cruise. Marios met us right outside ship. We had a wonderful tour of the island. It was by far our best tour we had taken during the cruise. Very informative, fun & safe. I highly recommend Marios as your guide!
