The tour guide was knowledgeable and shared interesting information. She was very good at timing each stop and with the free time at the end of her narrative, so we could visit the museum and still make the Sea Bus back. She was easily understood and we really appreciated this.
Lots to see!

Lots to see, could have used more self-exploration time. The Delos Museum was interesting with many Delos artifacts. The boat ride was extremely crowded.

I wish I can do 0 stars. They don’t care about you missing the ship or not. Wouldn’t accommodate any schedule nor give you other options for you if the ship schedule changes. I reached out to the agent and their argument is that they can’t do any accommodations since it was within the 24hrs.
Amazing

Did not get to visit the museum with our guide. Little disapointed as all original statues where preserved there. But the site itself was amazing!

So much history between Mykonos and Delos. If you love history and Greek mythology, this is the place for you. It’s windy, so please watch your hat. Wear sunscreen not only for the sun, but for windburn. It was well worth it and took plenty of great pictures. The boat ride is fun too which they also provided drinks snacks and adult beverages. OPA!

Very interesting tour in Delos. The ancient town from 7000 years BC. The tour guide was very knowledgeable with degree in archeology. The only thing should be improved is the explanation from the tour operator about Sea bus ferry that brings you to the pier

The visit to Delos was very interesting thanks to our guide Anastasia, who explained in great detail the history and the most important points of the archaeological area. His knowledge and passion really made a difference. For her, 5 stars without a doubt! However, the organization by the agency left much to be desired. The departure was delayed by an hour and during that time we had to wait in the sun, without any clear information or consideration from the staff. That's why I only give the agency three stars. I recommend the site and the guide, but the logistics should be much improved.
Interesting archeological site

Learned a lot from our tour guide about the history of Delos archeological site. The remaining ruins and copies were interesting to see and the originals are kept within the Delos museum.
