2.00We were in Mykonos for the day on a cruise. I thought this would be the perfect way to enjoy some beach time . It was described as 3 hours at the beach we visited but, by the time you cook up at old and new port including transportation we would only be there for 2 hours. Most of the people on the trip were upset after this was explained before we arrived at the beach. The beach we visited was beautiful and had great a service. But the chairs and umbrella rental was expensive for a 2 hour stay. I was lucky I contacted the company and they let me return an hour later with the next group. But I wish I had not had to deal with the hassle of arranging beach time. Our guide seemed a bit annoyed with people complaining about only having two hours at the beach.. It would have been easier to have just taken the local bus to the beach from old port and enjoyed our day.
Perfect Experience

5.00This experience was perfect. Our original tour booked through our cruise was canceled due to weather. We booked this excursion the day before our stop at Mykonos. Our tour guide was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was super convenient having a driver to the best parts of Mykonos. Highly recommend.

4.00Micah was very congenial. We were hoping for a bit more information on the island while traveling to the beach at Elia. It is a beautiful island and would be fun to even know some ancient history or mythology about the island. Elia beach was gorgeous. The staff were helpful and the bathroom clean. The cost is high for chairs, but it was a nice to have the shade. Wish we had more time in old town. It is such a fun area. This tour could probably add on 2 more hours for old town. Plenty of time to get back to ship. I would recommend, but let folks know that it might be easier just to get their own transportation and set up their own times for beach and old town.
