5.00We are met by our tour guide, Antonio (Tony) on time. We did have a hard time locating our meeting point. So we called the emergency phone number provided to us and 2 agents were able to help us immediately locating our guide. Tony was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Mykonos. He took us around to several different parts of the island in a private car. We covered St. Johns, Little Venice, the Windmills, Kalafati Beach, and shopping. He even took us to Sakis Grill House for the best Gyros and souvlakis in town! Definitely time and money well spent for us!

1.00This tour was very disappointing. We had a tour guide who didn't seem to be very organized. She kept asking the driver where he thought we should go. At the end of the tour the driver was very anxious to get to get to his next job and was impatient for us to leave. I believe the tour guide was responsible for the delay. All in all we were a group of six and were very disappointed.
