Well organized and very enthusiastic guide took us through Old town and to both ends of the island. We were a small group and he was our driver/ guide and seemed to know everyone we encountered. Although this was our second trip to Mykonos, this was far better than exploring on our own and very reasonable cost.
Beautiful day in Mykonos

Great tour. Saw a lot of the area and enjoyed a beautiful day at the beach with home made treats. You could tell it was from the heart. His wine was so good.
Great your

Micheal was a great tour guide and very pleasant. He took us to see all the historic places which he was very knowledgeable about.
Perfect day!
Suzanne_L, Nov 2024
Our guide, Mathieu, was phenomenal! Seamless meeting at the pier. He was so kind, engaging, and dedicated to showing us Mykonos and sharing the island's rich history and culture. He went above and beyond and incorporated a visit to one of his family's personal chapel's and hosted us in their beautiful adjacent villa treating us to homemade wine, lemonade, and local favorite dishes.
Best Excursion on Mykonos
Keith_K, Nov 2024
Fantastic tour combining walking the wonderful streets near the waterfront and little Venice, to the van tour of the island with a special stop at a beautiful beach. Our guide set up a great homemade picnic lunch with many delicious items!! Our guides were local and very knowledgeable and friendly. They treated us like family!!
A Truly Personal Tour

Matthaios was the best guide! We really got to see the best parts of Mykonos! He is so knowledgeable about the history of the island and answered all our questions. We had a little colder weather so we didn’t picnic on the beach, but he was so generous as to welcome us into his family’s church! The spread he provided was delicious and almost all made by him! It was truly the experience of a lifetime! We cannot recommend him enough!
Mykonos - a lasting memory!
Christopher_L, Oct 2024
Matthew was fantastic! Communicated with us a couple of days early to confirm our ship and arrival time. On the day of the tour he texted the meeting location and that he was running just a couple of minutes late.
Tour was so personal with just 6 of us. He showed us the important sights in Mykonos and attempted to keep us out of the crowded spots. But still got the great pictures!
Due to cooler and windy weather, he changed up the beach time for a visit to his family church and courtyard. And the snacks and beverages were great! A memorable highlight of our vacation in Greece. (Yes, he was very aware of our ship Boarding time - no stress of being late)
A fabulous tour
Isabel_C, Oct 2024
This was the highlight of our Greek cruise tour. Our guide Mathew was really nice and attentive. We have 6 people in the group. He took great pictures for us. The walk to the windmills and streets were nicely orchestrated. The drive through the island was pleasant.
We had a nice picnic in his secret place on the beach. Home grown vegetables and home made Greek dishes accompanied by homemade wine was delicious.
I highly recommend this tour!
Wow, a special, local treat!!!
Pauline_S, Oct 2024
This was a really special tour. we started off by walking through the local streets and received some history. Once we got into the car ride, that's when you could really experience the true local flavors of Mykonos we were so impressed by our tour guide and how he accommodated us with a bit of a colder weather and took us to a family church and prepared a picnic of home cooked snacks for all of us. It is something I will never forget, a wonderful experience was had by all. thank you for sharing in your family traditions with us!!
Wonderful tour of Mykanos

We had a great tour with an amazing tour guide! Our guide took photos of us and recommended dining restaurants for us. Loved to small group!
A day in Mykonos
Clarissa_M, Oct 2024
Aris was a wonderful guide to us around the stunning island of Mykonos. Not only did he show us hidden gems (and locally brewed beer would I never would have found , much less gotten to try on our own!) but also some of the most gorgeous spots around the island for us to snap some memorable photos of. He drove us all about the island, leaving what felt like no stone unturned, all while filling us in on island life and culture. Not only that, but the conclusion with Mykonian snacks was just the icing on the cake ❤️ we had such a good time and felt in such good hands! Thanks for a wonderful time on the island!!
Owesome tour
ZukiswaLumka_M, Oct 2024
Beautiful sites, nice tour guards, small group, & nice food. We started early so it was easy to view many beautiful sites without the crowds .
Perfect tour of Mykonos by a local tour guide!
Amanda_C, Oct 2024
Having cruised several of the Greek isles, we had done the large tours with our cruise ship and decided to try this smaller tour. We were not disappointed. It was fantastic and it might have even changed the way we do future tours on our cruises. Aris, our guide promptly met us at the cruise port and was friendly from the start. He was passionate about the island and very knowledgeable as well. He was a lot of fun and cracked jokes the whole time and we enjoyed hearing the stories he told. He was also super helpful at taking pictures in some of the great spots and he knew the most beautiful picturesque spots on the island. After hitting up some of the most popular places for sightseeing, he took us to several spots that only the locals know about and where there were no other tourists such as the lighthouse on the Northern end of the island. Near the end of our tour, we stopped at a small rocky beach where he provided us a fantastic snack of homemade authentic Greek food. We capped it off with some perfect sunset pictures looking out over the bay. We had a blast and I would recommend this to her to anyone.
Amazing Ephesus private tour
deb56er, Oct 2024
our guide, Dicle was so knowledgeable about everywhere we went. she was very friendly and personable and was considerate of our comfort all day - it was a pleasure to spend the day with her. Musa was the driver and we felt very comfortable riding in a foreign country on very narrow roads due to his very skillful driving. my husband and i felt like we were leaving a friend behind when it was time to return to the ship
Superb Tour with Mattaios
Kelly_N, Oct 2024
Matthaios was an excellent tour guide. He picked us up promptly at our cruise port and took us to the Mykonos town where we were greeted by another guide who took us on an extensive walking tour of the town. We learned so much about the culture and the island from a local guide. At the end of the tour of the town Matthaios picked us up and took us out to another area to visit a Monastery. Afterwards, due to the windy conditions on the day of our tour, Matthaios took us to his family church where we learned about the church culture and had traditional greek snacks such as dolomades, homemade bread, olives, cheese, tomatoes, homemade wine and lemonade and a greek cookie with sesame seeds (koulourakia).
Matthaios was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all of the questions that our small group of 8 asked. It was so nice having to share this experience with only a small group. I highly recommend Matthaios.
Fabulous Tour
Janice_M, Oct 2024
0ur guide Aaris (spelling?) was so knowledgable & polite with a sense of humor. The smaller group size was what made the Tour so appealing. The best part was the ending with the little picnic on the beach. Definitely a Must Do Tour while on the Island of Mykonos.
Amazing
RALAKU_L, Oct 2024
We had an amazing time with our guide, the best part was the treats he prepared himself and found a picturesque spot for a picnic. Matt went and above and beyond to make it a memorable experience!
Great day on Mykonos
Carolann_M, Oct 2024
My friend and I had a great day on Mykonos with Mattie. He was very flexible (cruise line kept telling us a different port) and punctual. We did a lovely walking tour of the old city, a monastery and then about 45 minutes at the beach with some great, homemade traditional snacks.
Beautiful tour of Mykonos
Krystal_F, Oct 2024
The tour was awesome if you visit the island on a cruise ship. Aris & Matthew give a great overview of Mykonos & you still have time to explore around after the tour. They are excellent photographers & offer photo ops. The beach is calm & breathtaking! The snacks that Matthew offers make the beach picnic experience a nice highlight.
All the highlights in a personal setting!
carolyn_v, Oct 2024
We had 2 guides on this trip … one brought us walking around the cobblestone streets and gave us great insight and photo ops !! Who better than someone who lives there ??!! The other drove us to see memorable places in the countryside and even to a beach where he served us a little Greek lunch he crafted himself ! Again a born and raised native of the island ! We had a great size group of 8 … perfect pick up and drop off at the cruise ship … couldn’t ask for a better way to see this little treasure of Greece 💕
