Your half-day island adventure begins with midmorning pickup at your hotel or the Mykonos cruise port.

Next, get a more modern perspective with a stop at the Mykonos airport, offering a chance to see planes arriving and departing the island. Continue on to the the traditional village of Ano Mera, where you’ll be welcomed at an organic family farm. Get a personalized tour from the superintendent, including hands-on exploration of farming equipment and a chance to meet the livestock. Before leaving Ano Mera, see where locals shop at the open-air market and take a guided tour of the Panagia Tourliani monastery, one of only two on the island.

Drive by the unspoiled beaches of Kalo Livadi, Kalafati, and Aghia Ann, keeping your camera handy for a photo stop, and relax over a light Greek-style lunch or snack (depending on lunch option selected). Finally, take in a fantastic panoramic view of Mykonos Town before saying goodbye to your guide back at your hotel, the cruise port, or another central location of your choice. Alternatively, upgrade to include a guided walking tour of Mykonos Town.

Disappointing

Helen_A, Oct 2022

40 minutes late starting the tour with no explanation from the tour guide as to why. He didn’t introduce himself, he wasn’t attentive to the group, he told bizarre and random stories to us, and his English wasn’t great. Scruffy as well. Very disappointing all round.

Mykonos in a breeze!

Cheryline_D, Oct 2022

Estradis was amazing! I took the toor with my mom and my son. The schedule was right on and though there was a huge marathon in the island that day, he managed to maneuver the tour (schedule and all) in synchrony. Our tour guide was really fun, farm and restaurant was amazing, unlimited wine is the best! LOL! He took us nice beaches, great views and guided the elderly guest with care. Would highly recommend!

Informative tour and experience of beautiful Mykonos.

Edward_R, Oct 2022

Beautiful Mykonos! Enjoyed stops that were well planned but would have loved to have more than 10 minutes for a swim! Guide informative and helpful. Poor administration resulted in tour starting 30 minutes late.

Will definitely be back

Dionne_R, Aug 2022

Our tour guide Stratis (am sure I spell that wrong) was amazing. He took us to a Church where I felt the presence of God. Lunch and wine tasting was absolutely divine and we had so much fun dancing on the tables. Ofcourse, the Americans won over the East Indians and the Mexicians, but who was keeping score...lol. We truly enjoyed the experience. I have a feeling that I will be seeing Statis again in the not too distant future.

Hot day in Mykonos.

Kelly_S, Aug 2022

We did enjoy parts of our tour however there was not cool air conditioning in the van and it was quite old. Our tour guide very passionate and also very opionated.

Fun!

Kelly_B, Aug 2022

Mykonos was beautiful and this was a great tour. Got to see all the sites with a knowledgeable guide. The farm was something special. While at the monastery, my friends and I decided to skip going inside and grabbed something to eat and a restaurant located right by the church instead. Best pork I’ve ever had in my life!

Save your money!

clmeteer, Jul 2022

It all started with the late pickup and continued to snowball. The walking tour was simply a walk with no tour component. Then the car tour was nothing as advertised, from the additional cost of snacks (advertised as 5€ but was 10-15€), the monastery was pointed out with no opportunity to explore it, in fact the guide said she wasn’t sure it was even open. The farm was a cow, some goats, and a small vineyard to look at with no tour or guide through it. The worst part was the guide. She was not sharing any info outside of the traffic, and why all buildings were white. Save your money, this was the absolute worst excursion.

A MUST TOUR!!!

RAMONA_W, Jul 2022

Mario's was an excellent guide. He was through and followed up the history with great commentary. He was clearly very knowledgeable and made sure we got the most out of our experience. He was also concerned about that the wide range of guest abilities was integrated into the tour. The walk through the city and stop for Baklava and visit/tasting at the organic farm were wonderful.

Highly Recommend!

Diane_H, Jul 2022

The tour guide, Leo, was excellent.....provided good Mykonos historical information! The walking tours and site information was an excellent opportunity to discover Mykonos. We literally navigated and toured the primary points on the island. The tour provided solid information that served as a guide for the personal activities and beaches that we visited during the remainder of our stay in Mykonos. Definitely would pay for the tour again as a refresher for my next visit to Mykonos!

Wonderful quiet location

Claire_S, Jun 2022

Very cheerful and friendly staff that were very helpful. They helped us change our flights, arranged shuttles. Room that we had was very spacious with a balcony that you could view Mykonos town. Hotel is very quiet, provides a delicious breakfast buffet with covered patio seating. To go to town or the bus stop is about a 10-12 minute walk.

Great tour of small island

Robert_L, Jun 2022

Visit to church and farm were the highlights of the trip. The bus driver did an excellent job of navigating the narrow streets.

Worth Doing

Wade_N, May 2022

Tour was very well run, picked us up and took us to a air conditioned bus for the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. The bus driver was phenomenal, the narrow roads and tight spaces he got us into was impressive. Picturesque views, the snack at the farm was well worth the 5 Euros. Overall a good tour, worth doing for first timers like us.

Tour of Mykonos

Andrea_S, May 2022

We had a great time! Our guide was professional and friendly. We would definitely tour with her again.

The farm and the meal and the monastery. It was a nice break and gave us a local experience. Also, the panoramic views from various stops were outstanding.

Great way to see Mykonos

Chris, Nov 2021

Guide was nice and showed me over 1/2 the island of Mykonos in a 4 hour period. Beautiful sights of various beaches, churches and we ended up on a farm where the host served a light lunch with various drinks. Great way to see the animals. The guide took me to places, I haven’t thought of going , but enjoyed as a first time visitor. Nice job overall!

Dissatisfied

CINDY_M, Oct 2021

The tour was just average, and the communication about the add on of the walking tour and lunch was none existent. The tour was supposed to start at 9:00 but I didn’t get picked up until 10:00 and then the tour started at 10:15. The tour guide was knowledgeable. The tour was supposed to be 4 hours then I was supposed to do lunch and a 1 hour walking tour. They didn’t tell me the entire thing was supposed to gor until 19:00! Very, very poor communication!

Don’t take this tour waste of time and money.

Pamela_M, Oct 2021

The tour pick up was exceedingly late and no thought was put into the planning we kept driving back and forth between Ornos and Fabrika, the drop off was no better. The length of the tour listed appears to include lateness, pick up and drop off, as it concluded at basically the time originally stated. But my real disappointment resided in “ Continue on to the the traditional village of Ano Mera, where you’ll be welcomed at an organic family farm. Get a personalized tour from the superintendent, including hands-on exploration of farming equipment and a chance to meet the livestock. Before leaving Ano Mera, see where locals shop at the open-air market and take a guided tour of the Panagia Tourliani monastery, one of only two on the island”. There was no tour of the farm, we sat down and ate. The food was good but the farm was what I was interested in. No tour no tools no questions and answers. Also the monastery was not a guided tour as advertised. The bus was also too crowded for COVID-19.

Minivan was in poor...

Bruce_M, Oct 2021

Minivan was in poor condition and tour was delayed due to difficulty locating two passengers. Not much to see in Mykonos or the guide did not really have anything of real interest to tell us. Go on a very warm day because the high winds cool the air.
