It was a private tour and my birthday!. The tour guide picked us up much earlier (than the set time) at our hotel. We first toured one of the wineries and had wine tasting (fee not included), had walking tour in one of the villages, visited Red Beach, Lighthouse and neighboring areas with amazing view of Fira and Oia. Few hours before sunset, we proceed to the Dolphins Restaurant ( by the water) and had a sumptuous dinner ( 3 courses seafood meal, wine and dessert) with some tables set at the marina or wood deck. What a special way to celebrate my birthday! Later, Evans, the tour guide brought us into a secret spot, a place on higher elevation with spectacular view of the volcano, sea and the villages and we waited there for the final minutes till the sunset. The so called secret place only had us at that moment. Evans provided us with glass of wine and we sipped it while waiting for the final minute. Truly Awesome! We were pleased selecting this tour for this occasion.

This tour was one of the best I had on my trip to the Greek Islands thanks to our tour guide. Andrea shared both historical facts and her personal experiences as a long time Mykonos resident. She answered all our questions and showed genuine interest in getting to know people from the group. Will definitely recommend her to anyone. As far as the service, bus was on time, she explained all the logistics of the tour and the time spent at the different locations was more than enough to admire the vista and take pictures.

In short, this tour was worth it all especially with our guide Evans! He was phenomenal. He customized the tour for us to see the island extensively. He gave amazing background information and made the trip fun and exciting. He was very kind and very respectful. It was truly an educational and eventual adventure. We appreciated all his dedication and assistance to making the experience way more than what we could have imagined.

Very pleasant trip. And the place to see the sunset is exceptional. Far from the crowds, in complete privacy and perfect for seeing everything. Without forgetting the guide Fotis who is very friendly, gives many explanations and is discreet when necessary. A great experience

Great guide Georgio, everything perfect and pick-up on time, very informative and detailed, good driver and spacious vehicle, ordering a child seat worked without any problems! Any time!!!
