Exclusive Mykonos Old and New

Once ported in Mykonos, we met our SEG guide who took us to dip our toes at Kalifatis Beach, providing his knowledge of the history & importance of this isle along the way. Heading next to Ano Mera in the central part, we toured the beautiful Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, the only Catholic Church on isle, and took a refreshing snack break. We continued back to Mykonos with a walking tour of the harbor, and its sites, shops, and restaurants. Given the wide range of our group’s ages, our patient guide took us through the winding pedestrian-only streets to visit historical sites like the Church of Panagia Paraportiani & the Mykonos Windmills. This harbor town was packed with shops galore, mostly accessible on foot! So much to explore but, fortunately, our guide left us with suggestions to finish our day before heading back to our ship. This tour had lots of walking mostly moderate given the occasional uneven pathways! Definitely, a nice introduction to this lovely popular isle!

Although I was worried we were going to like Mykonos, our guide was so informative. Feel in love with Mykonos. We have a daughter with special needs that walks a little slower and our guide was awesome so we could keep up. Would definitely go back.

Our Tour guide Liela was amazing. She was great, personable and funny to tell us history and beaches along the way. Totally had a great time with her. She is amazing! Mykonos is lovely, beautiful town to visit for sure. I'm still dreaming about this place and the food & views was amazing!!! Thank you for the lovely memories!

Great guide, lots of interesting things to see.

This Tour was both interesting and enjoyable, thanks to our Tour guide Maria, who was patiently waiting for us as we got out of the tender. We were told about the history of the area and were able to tour a Museum. We were guided through the narrow streets with buildings that have been standing for over five hundred years, but were well preserved. I loved the architecture. We sampled some Greek fare as well. The tour of Mykonos was my favourite of the Greek places that l visited. Maria clearly enjoys her job. She made the trip worth it.

We were fortunate to have good weather andcenjoyed the tour

We found Mykonos to be an absolutely beautiful oceanside village. The houses, the colors, the foods, the history was all beautiful. I could not stop taking pictures. We visited the windmills too and enjoyed seeing the donkeys

Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We all had a great time and learned a lot of new information.

Our tour guide for this adventure was amazing. She knew the history of Mykonos and was captivating in her explanations of all the sights we were seeing. Would highly recommend this tour.

The guide said we were his largest group yet! But he did give us a great tour despite the challenge.

Very well paced and informative

Guide was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant! Tour was well organized and very enjoyable!!!

An amazing tour with lots of stops to enjoy homemade coffee and pastry, we got to see and learn various historical places, our tour guide was so lovely, smart and friendly--she really made our day in Mykonos amazing.

Our group ended up being very small—just my husband and myself and one other couple. I really appreciated that the tour wasn’t cancelled due to the small number. Our guide was excellent, a native of Mykonos who still lives on the island, and she was so knowledgeable about the island’s history and lore. I was not very familiar with Mykonos; I learned so much about this beautiful island. One thing I really appreciated was how our guide gave us so much insight into how the Mykonians have always adapted to the often harsh environment and growing conditions of the island and how they built their towns and streets to offer the best protection they could to the towns’ inhabitants, especially when most of the men were away at sea, and how they built windmills to take advantage of the strong winds to grind grain into flour. It was fascinating! We also enjoyed the small shops and cafes, and the delicious food. Loved this beautiful Aegean gem!

The tour is great, and Mykonos is so beautiful. Some wonderful spots we saw and all in good time. The only thing I will say is if you are offered your ferry ticket take it, even if you are staying with the group, then you have more flexibility to leave when you want and maybe have lunch on the water near the wind mills! AMAZING!

It was so good to see more of the island than the port. We had a guide that was sensitive to the pace of the group and shared interesting information about the island. It was a great tour & we would highly recommend it!

Great guide great stops, mykonos was gorgeous.

We had a thorough and enjoyable tour of Mykonos. Our guide was excellent. She knew her history and provided interesting information throughout the tour. We (son and I) were very happy we had booked this tour.

The representative was very informative and the whole excursions was interesting.

Perfect blend of interesting information and key sites if you don't have a lot of time. I really appreciated our tour guides knowledge and experience.

Enjoyable tour. Not a fan of bus tour, but guide was Knowledgeable and personable.

The tour was really wonderful. The size of the group was about 25 people. We could easily hear our guide who was well informed. After the tour ended, we spent time shopping in the narrow streets and we ate in a non-touristy restaurant recommended by our tour guide...excellent!

lovely town. great time walking around, time on own also

Very good and knowledgeable guide.

Excellent tour and the guide was very knowledgeable.

This was a delightful tour. The old part was everything I had imagined as Greece. The tour guide was exceptional in her knowledge. Would do it again.

Very good, thoroughly enjoyed the tour

We were met promptly at our directed meeting point and enjoyed a full day of sight seeing. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the beach, windmills, and tour of old and new Myskonos. This was our first experience with Shore Excursions and they met all our expectations.

This was a very interesting tour of a beautiful island even tho there were throngs of people walking on very narrow winding steep streets! Lovely to see this whole island and all the restaurants on the waterfront!

Enjoyed this tour very much

A wonderful tour with a passionate and very informative local as our tour guide. Well worthwhile.

Our guide was excellent. She was very informative and entertaining. It was easy to stay engaged. She first took us in the old town before it was crowded. Which was great because we can take better pictures that way. We got to see the old windmills too. Then we had a nice surprise and went into an outdoor theater and had a treat. Which was very relaxing and peaceful. Then we took a bus tour to the other side of the island to dip our toes in the Aegianic Sea. Very nice tour, one of the best. Also the bus had plenty of air conditioning.

Great tour guide...all groups with shore excursions, in my experience, had @ 20 people...very knowledgeable with detailed explanations of island...., really enjoyed this tour... ,

Our tour guide had much information to share. Knew her way around very well! We saw more than I ever expected.

Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. This tour allowed us to see many of the island's beautiful sites without feeling rushed. Highly recommend.

Great tour! Fast moving but got to see all of the main sites in Mykonos. The tour guide was really good and easy to understand. It was hot, and she made sure to have us under that shade and not in direct sun. Our guide was really versed on all of the history of Mykonos and was very pleasant to be around. Would definitely recommend for families.

This was not a great tour. Felt that the guide just wanted to get the tour over with. He would walk ahead and then ask if we were all there I would assume that was his job to know how many were in his group. Just not really worth the momey

Excellent..don't change anything!

Booking a tour off the cruise ship affords you the opportunity to travel optimally in a small group. We travelled from small town to beach to tourist center old Mykonos. Our guide helped us to navigate the back streets of old Mykonos to be able to see all the Mykonos highlights as well as deal with the crowds. The tour provided an overall experience of life on the island.

Mykonos itself was fascinating. I think our tour guide was very knowledgeable and organized our tour successfully. I would do this again!

Got to see much of the island in just a few hours. Excellent tour guide.

the city of Mykonos is beautiful and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun.

We met on the pier and were broken into groups of 25 each. Our tour guide really knew the area and the locals working, and did a great job showing us around. I would highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Ana was very knowledgeable about the history of Mykonos. We toured a 15th century Greek Monastery in Ana Mera, had typical fried Greek pastry and ice coffee. The toured stopped at a beach before heading to Little Venice in old Mykonos. Overall the tour was good.

A really great tour. Our guide was a wealth of information. We had sufficient free time at each stop to wander and see all there was to offer

First of all Mykonos is amazingly beautiful... our tour guide was punctual and waiting for us as we get off our transfer. She was knowledgeable about the history of the places we went to, patiently waiting for us as we took pictures and made sure we were all together as she explains the history of each site. I will definitely use Shore excursions again. Thank you

Great excursion for a first time visit... otherwise you can do the island on your own and enjoy more time shopping or swimming. We still got enough time though to sit down by the water and enjoy a long fresh seafood diner.The tour guide was knowledgeable and welcoming. We felt touring with a friend. Very professional and down to earth.

Enjoyed our visit.

It ended being one of our best islands to visit on our Cruise Journey and it was in part because of the excursion. The guide was excellent in interacting with the people and very well organized.

This popular destination is filled with narrow streets designed to confuse pirates. Our tour included wondering through some of the these back streets lined with great shops. Tour guide was pleasant and offered lots of history of Mykonos. Worth our time.

Our guide, Athena, was wonderful. It was fun to tour the small museum, walk the town, and taste the coffe and orange pie! The drive to the monastery gave you a feel of the island the inside the church was beautiful! There was a run across the island the day we visited which was fun but kept us from shopping as much as we’d like. A lot of walking but not too strenuous.

Mykonos is enchanting! This tour is a sampling of the island...beach, village life, history, harbor town and more. Our local guide was engaging, hospitable and a delight. For this tour, hold your hat, and a dress is not recommended for this windy island. Be sure to eat with the locals at Captains near Little Venice before you leave. We tried several items on the menu...all of it was amazing.

This was my first excursion with this company. I was not disappointed. The Guide was excellent and knowledgeable. I felt the excursion was thorough and I saw every aspect of the island. It probably was my favorite excursion of my trip.

Had a very good guide. We walked through the whole town. We got stuck in unexpected traffic but the guide made sure we got back to the ship in time.

Mykonos was one of my favorite ports. Tour guide was great and showed us all the highlights of this Greek island. Lots of churches and great souvenir shopping. The stop for coffee and dessert was a treat!

They picked us up from the ship and we went to Oia, and took us to the most beautiful views. We visited churches, ate real Backlava and was able to spend time in town shopping. There is alot of walking so wear comfortable shoes, and if you go in the summertime drink lots of water it is hot. But the tour is wonderful and I would recommend it again

Our tour guide was great! She provided lots of details about the area. I must go back to Mykonos for a longer stay.

We were on this tour on a day that was extremely hot and humid so it detracted from the tour itself. There was quite a bit of walking in getting to and going thru old town. Our guide was very informative and we learned a lot about the area. The later drive thru the country side was beautiful. We recommend this tour and hope you have nicer weather to enjoy it.

This was a little bit more than your typical bus tour. There was a good amount of walking through town and a museum. Tour guide was pleasant and thorough. Worth it.

We boarded a motor coach which took us to Ano Mera church and had some complimentary cold Greek coffee and loukoumades at a little cafe. Then we stopped at a beach for 20 minutes on our way to new Mykonos town. In Mykonos our guide walked us through the streets and explained some sites. We went into a tiny nautical museum which also helped cool us off and get out of the sun. We then had some time to ourselves where we had lunch and shopped for a bit before boarding our water bus back to our ship.

Good tour, knowledgeable and professional guide

Bus modern and included water, tour guide friendly and knowledgeable! Groups smaller than cruise groups. Stops included scenic kalafati beach, Monostery tour and bonus frappe and dessert stop plus bottle water in Ano Mera (yummy) Then a walking tour of old port area where you walk to windmills. After you could shop or eat on your own (uzzo stop for us across water from windmills in old captains house). Then take free bus shuttle back to ship. Each bus shuttle has ships name in the window. Safe clean worth it!

Mykonos is a wonderful small island and with each stop, we loved it more. Our guide was one of the best we had during our 3-week trip through Europe. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to all of our group members. She recommended Captain's for lunch and it was outstanding!

I really liked the variety that came with this tour as we ranged from cultural and historical pieces to newer information about current Greeks who live on the island and its economy. While the visit to the beach was a bit quick, the drive did give us the chance to see (and hear) more about the entire island. There were also about 4 other buses at this stop so it was a bit crowded. A stop for local snacks in a nearby cafe was a nice break before walking around and learning more. The windmills were a must, but it was the trip there that was equally great because of the little nooks and info tidbits that were shared around every corner of the walk. Excellent tour all the way around!

Very informative and knowledgeable on the history of the island. Plenty of time for local eating and visiting shops. Highly recommend Shore Excursions for getting to know the islands.

Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable . She lead us through Mykonos at a nice pace, ensuring we had time at each stop on the walking tour. After that it was onto the bus for Ano Mera Monastery and Town Square and finally a relaxing stop at the Kalafatis beach. So glad we booked it and highly recommend this tour.
