The crew was great and very accomodating! They took us around the island to the best spots and we swam to a beach which was beautiful! The food was great and fresh from local ingredients! Great experience and I highly recommend!

The tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of island info and history. We got to see a side of Mykonos that we otherwise would have missed. A great value.

A good ferry ride to the island, interesting tour hitting the highlights and a lovely but chilly ferry ride back.

Both Panos' (father & son) were a great duo & super helpful w/ making sure our trip was great!

This was the most fun and exciting booze cruise ever!
