Mykonos and the Sacred Island of Delos

Must Do!
November 30, 2023
If you're planning a trip to Greece, be sure to add Delos and Mykonos to your itinerary. Overall, this shore excursion was the highlight of our trip to Greece. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly unforgettable. First up was Delos, a tiny island with a rich history that is well worth exploring. Our guide brought to life the ruins of the ancient city with anecdotes and stories that made the tour engaging and informative. The archaeological site is well preserved, and you can see the remains of temples, houses, and public buildings that date back to the 5th century BC. Next, we visited the beautiful island of Mykonos, famous for its picturesque windmills and charming whitewashed buildings. Our guide took us on a walking tour of the town, pointing out the best spots for food, shopping, and sightseeing. If you're looking for a great way to explore Delos and Mykonos, this tour is a must-do!

Mykonos Tour
November 18, 2023
This was an excellent excursion, due primarily to the expertise of the guide Amaryllis. She was probably the best guide we have come across anywhere - she provided the right amount of information and did so concisely. The Mykonos (Delos) site has much to offer and we got full value from this tour, primarily because of the guide and her knowledge and approach. If it not already obvious, Amaryllis was exceptional.

Best excursion of trip
November 17, 2023
Our guide Amaryllis was amazing. In a smaller group we could hear and see everything she described. Historical ruins are sometimes boring but she made it come to life and explained why the people built this island. The Mykonos walking tour was also interesting and informative. On our ten day cruise this was by far our best excursion.

Our tour was cancelled due to rough seas. We switched to a city tour which was okay.

Windy, Wild Mykonos

What a brilliant day we had in Mykonos! Charming town, fantastic food along with a big wind which prevented us from getting to the Sacred Island of Delos. Tour was good, guide very informative and there was plenty of free time to explore.

Mykonos and the Sacred island of Delos

This is a must see. So much ancient history I never new existed. Guide was great. The groups were small. They were really easy to find right outside our ship. If Shore Excursions are available, I would never take a ship excursion again.

Delos was terrific!

Laura was a great guide, considering she arrived at the last minute to enable more tours (3 ships in port that day)! The Mykonos city was a brief tour but we were treated to fresh veggies at the harbor, and a local bakery made our lunch sandwiches for us. Delos is not given much description in this promotion, but it is a fascinating and vast site to explore. Laura was gracious about keeping our group together and giving us lots of information.

Small group, knowledgeable guide

Delos was well worth the visit, and seemed less crowded than other archeological sites we visited in Greece. The guide was knowledgeable, and the group size manageable.

Delos & Mykonos
June 26, 2019
"We really enjoyed our tour of Delos & Mykonos tour except for the Folklore Museum which was free was not open so we were very disappointed that we didn't get to tour it. Our guide did phone & waited for a call back but she didn't get one." Overall it was a good experience.

Best guide ever!!
May 23, 2019
This was our first tour of the cruise, and turned out to be the best. Our guide was very friendly and informative. Our group was small (perfect) so at the very beginning of the tour she asked if we would all like a relaxing tour, or a more adventurous tour. We asked for adventure and she delivered - especially on Delos! She was able to separate our group from all the other tour groups and show us some "non-standard" things. It really made it feel almost like we had all of Delos to ourselves. We all learned a lot, and had a great day!

Beautiful fast paced Mykonos
November 16, 2018
This is a good tour but you need twice as much time Taking the tour to Delos then coming back to Myknos -you basically have to run for some of the tour. The guide was great, but we stopped about 45 mins early so we could a little strolling through the beautiful streets and shop versus extending the tour. Would do again but would do one of the other, Delos or just Mykonos island tour.

Amazing history in Delos
November 15, 2018
You could spend a great deal of time here as there is so much to see. It is amazing to see how advanced civilization was thousands of years ago and our guide brought it all to life.

Mykonos and Delos were fascinating areas to visit. Our guide lived on Mykonos and was able to give us a great deal of local history and back story on many of the sites we visited. She was very entertaining and informative. We never felt rushed and having a small group (there were only three) allowed us to make changes when the other large groups created bottlenecks. Definitely would recommend!

Highlight of the Cruise Excursions
October 04, 2018
Guide was awesome. Her information was very detailed. She was well organized. We went through all the back areas of Mykonos and she made it more accessible. Delos was remarkable. It takes 2 - 3 hours to really absorb what the Island was centuries ago. We had only a short time shopping after, but the initial orientation helped us. We look forward to going back and just relaxing in a cafe. However, for first timers, this is a great tour!
