We had a downpour during our tour and it did not *dampen* our experience one bit. That's because of our amazing tour guide! =) Highly Recommend! =)”

Wish we had used sound transmitting devices because our group tended to spread out and you could only hear him if he was next to you. Learned a lot of interesting information. Wish some history about the church and monastery had been given.”

5.Delos Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 158 reviews · 5 hours · from $99

Spend five hours traveling from Mykonos to Delos by sea bus and ferry, then walk the ancient city with a live guide. You’ll see the House of Dionysus, Theater, market, Temple of Apollo, and more, with about an hour to explore independently. English tours run daily at 10 AM and 5 PM.

“The tour was great, however there needed to be more detail on the transportation. We had to figure out and wait in line to get our free port ride to the old port and then was not instructed to look for the ticket box (that we found on our own). Clearer instructions would have been appreciated. The tour was nice and it was amazing and overwhelming to see the archaeological site (and to know that only 40% of it has been excavated!). The museum was closed and will be for about another year and that would have better enhanced our experience.”
