A wonderful tour to a place rich in culture and history. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The tour took up most of our time there and I wish I had more time to explore on my own and spend time in the museum. I recommend bringing a warm jacket. The wind was strong and cold. We got to watch the sunset from the boat on the way back. I highly recommend this half day trip.

Very interesting tour. Maybe not for everyone as some of the other ruins sights we saw looked very familiar. Should use a guide. Great weather. Our guide Celia was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great experience. Very organized. Boat left 29 minutes late. But the English guide Celia was amazing. She was passionate about Delos and passed on the passion and excitement to us.

Very good and informative tour. The boat trip was very nice - about 30 minutes. We needed to check in at a booth to receive our group number, which was unclear, but worked out fine. Take bug spray! Little Venice is a great, charming place before & after trip!
