5.00Tour was as described. Mykonos was so windy it made the day tough for me, but no one controls nature. Elsa was our tour host she was nice but I think she was new to the job. Overall everything was fine.

4.00We decided to have a relaxing day and spend half at a beach and then tour the town. The beach our tour guide took us to. It was absolutely beautiful! The water was an incredible shade of blue. The water is chilly but feels amazing once you get in. The only unfortunate thing about Mykonos are the winds. The winds were 30 mph (up to 41 mph gusts) so the sand was blowing the entire time. Once we left the beach, we went into town. The town was very cute. There were lots of shops and places to eat. We had some of the best pizza I’ve ever had and the Greek wine was wonderful.
Tired of waiting

4.00It's ridiculous that we sit here waiting cause people can't get to the check in on time. Your company needs to leave and they can figure it out on their own ....every trip we wait on people

5.00I think the title of this tour is a perfect description. Lucy, our tour guide, was very informative and entertaining. We enjoyed our time at Elia Beach-a lovely beachfront paradise. We were fortunate to have a sunny day and we enjoyed the lovely town of Old Port. I thought this was money well spent as we definitely got alot of this tour.
