Overall this tour was wonderful. I was a bit confused regarding getting my own tickets but easy to do once I figured it out. The guide was very knowledgeable and so kind. Met us at the ticket booth and explained what was going to happen. Great tour of Delos. If you can, do the private tour.

Amazing time on this tour. Micheal was charming and knows his island. Breath taking views and beaches. Definitely glad we took this excersion. Some of our group dropped off once we hit the shopping areas but not us. We enjoyed seeing all Mykonos has to offer.

Very good organization. The guide spoke very good French, was very audible. His comments were varied and interesting. We learned a lot and at the end of the visit she took the time to answer the group's questions.

A beautiful boat ride fir 35 minutes to the island of Delos and a very comprehensive tour. Being able to walk in and see many, many ancient ruins from the 1st-6th centuries BC...amazing!

Guide was great babe was Michael. He showed us around, stopped to take photos and let us do little shopping!
