5.00Very good experience with the Gogó guide. The organization was good, from the day before he sent us a message to indicate what time he was passing us at the hotel and it was super punctual. In Mykonos he accompanied us to tour the most important points, explained us well (Spanish and English) and gave us free time to eat and know a little more about the place. He gave us some restaurant recommendations. The return was also good, all according to the indicated schedules. It is a recommended walk to know Mykonos when you have the limited time.
It was a great...

5.00It was a great experience. The tour is very welll organised and they do everything to accommodate your preferences - right from where to be picked up. Our host, Maria was a delight and answered all our 100 questions and was very knowledgeable about the history of the place and makes for an excellent guide. The tour is nicely designed to ensure that you get free time as well.

4.00Ask for Yanis as you tour guide. He made the trip worth it. If I would rate him it’s a 10 out of 5. For the money more should have been added to the trip such as lunch.
A must do trip

5.00We had an amazing day !!!!! It was a well organized and smooth trip, everything was on time ( the pick up, the ferry, the drop off…) Our guide Yanni was so friendly and helpful, the island was crowded but not like we imagined and saw on social media we highly recommend booking this trip.

5.00Athens to Mykonos was excellent. We are happy with the journey & team, and on time transportation was great from pickup and all the logistics between the ferry routes. Yanna and Yannis are kind and patient people. They speak English well. Plenty of time to shop on the island. Lots of great pictures of the island and scenery. The main locations are very very busy so time management is key. If you want pictures with less people go further into the shop paths. Also take motion sickness pills if you have issues with motion because the boats do rock due to the high winds of the sea. Overall a long day but worth the memories.

5.00It was a very beautiful experience. Mykonos is really an amazing island. The guide Yannis speaking in spanish and in english was great!!! He explained everything he could and he was attent to us all the time... Maybe, for us, the travel to arrive there and all the activity were a little long.
Yanna was Amazing, size of group not great for the price point.

3.00Our guide, Yanna was great. She was friendly, knowledgable, patient and overall amazing! My problem was with the size of the group and the dual language. For the price point, about $220 per person, I was expecting a smaller group and certainly a single language tour. We had about 30 people in our group. She would give the explanation in Spanish and then in English. It would have been better to have either 2 guides - 1 Spanish and 1 English or a larger English only group. The dual language meant significant wasted time - for each group - to wait for explanations of the other group. Additionally, we spent significant time waiting for others to catch up. Yanna was very clear that we were to make no stops and needed to keep up with the group, but we still spent significant time waiting for others to catch up. A smaller group would have made this situation better. Either that or just don't make repeated stops for people who cannot follow simple instructions. All in all a great day that could have been made better without as much wasted time.
Great trip!

4.00The trip and guide were great , but the young driver coming back was not , she was running in circles in Athens center spending a lot of time, we decide to walk from the parliament to our hotel she went by twice within 30 mnts. Also the 20 bucks to the beach , we thought we pay at the restaurant but those 20 bucks were on top of , I still recommend it because the food was good and the location is great and the guide take you and pick you from there you just have to enjoy it ❤️

5.00Besides Santorini, I was very fascinated by this island. It is amazing that in the summer it blows a lot of breeze with the heat that it is. I really loved the panoramic and walking in all the places near the beach. Of course there is more to see and enjoy on this island and in Santorini and Rhodes, you have to live the experience.
A good host ensures...
