We loved Yummy Pedals! - I can not say enough good things about the yummy pedals tour. My trip to Mykonos would not be the same without it. 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to learn about the history and culture while also getting in some steps and beautiful scenery. Dimitris was so accommodating and I adored the animals at the farm. Thank you for being such a special part of our vacation.

Hiking in Mykonos - We had an excellent experience and we highly recommend Yummy Pedals and specifically their “Off the Beaten Track hiking tour”. Dimitra showed us so much of the culture of Mykonos from our visit to a family church to enjoying a glass of wine at the vineyard when our hike was completed. A great addition to our vacation.

Honeymoon Tour! - What a wonderful experience. My husband and I went on a tour for our honeymoon. My husband is a hard core biker, me not so much. Our guide was accommodating to us both and even through in an added adventure for us during our trip! The bike ride was just right in terms of adventure and difficulty. We loved the cliff diving and underwater pictures, too!! We went on their off-season so we actually scored a private bike tour with no one else signed up at our time. Thank you for being so accommodating and making our experience in Mykonos so excellent! How fun it was to explore more Mykonos has to offer besides the beaches!

Beautiful, fun and unique experience!! - This was a very beautiful, fun, and unique experience! Our family only had a few days in Mykonos but we loved this tour because we were able to explore a side of the island that we would otherwise not have seen. The hike led us to several beautiful viewpoints, including the top of a hill that overlooked the rural landscape of Mykonos and one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Dimitris was a wonderful tour guide and provided us with a ton of history at each spot we visited that made this a memorable and immersive experience into the Mykonos culture.

Fun and informative easy hike - I am a female solo traveler and took the „Off the beaten track hiking tour“ with Dimitris. It was fun and also informative. We were a small group and it was familiar. Also I enjoyed the little picnic when we took a break.

So much more than beautiful beach’s - experience another side to Mykonos - This hike was One of the best things we did on our trip to Mykonos . Although we loved the stunning beaches we wanted to see more of the island . This 3 hour hike was perfect . Although there are no “ wash room/toilets “ on the hike Demetrius was able to indicate suitable private “natural areas “ to relieve oneself which was a god send because my bladder was not what it used to be ! Demetrius our guide was very knowledgeable and charming . He answered all our questions about Mykonos , including why all the houses are painted white and built the way they are . How water is collected and conserved on the island . At the end of the hike we ended up at his family’s Vioma Organic farm and vineyard and sampled some of their lovely organic wine . The trip to the vineyard was amazing - the grape vines were tiny - like small gnarled bonsai trees , because of the lack of water they were adapted to the extreme conditions . Some of the vines were over 30 yrs old but still produced a variety of delicious wines. I would definitely encourage anyone visiting Mykonos to include this in your travel plan. On my next trip to Mykonos I will do their E Bike tour - that also looked like fun.

More than Wonderful Beaches!! - This tour is much more than what is described. Demetrius is well informed with detailed cultural, archeological, and social references. All and any questions were welcomed and fully answered. There was special attention made to the Mykonian history and how it's people have adapted to the challenges of this island's climate. The organic farm and it's contribution to the island 's wellness while understated was not lost as one of this island's numerous treasures. This is a must tour for anyone interested in learning more about what Mykonos offers aside from the obvious. I leave feeling more connected to its people and appreciating how human ingenuity florishes in this most quaint island. Finally, Vioma Organic Farm makes exceptional wines, has an array of animals and vegetables that travellers are smart to allow for time to explore. Wine-tasting, short farm tours, and tapas meals, farm to table menu are among the exquisite options to add to a hike or e-bike tour. Great value! Demetrius is a gem!!

Incredible tour- favorite experience of vacation! - We did the Fokos beach tour- This tour was phenomenal - it was by far our favorite day on our Mykonos vacation- Dimitris was an amazing guide - funny, interesting, and extremely knowledgeable! The bike tour was a lot of fun with amazing surrounding landscapes and the beach was by far the most beautiful beach we saw in Mykonos- crystal clear blue water with hardly anyone there. We ended the tour back at the farm- we chose to do a wine tasting and eat lunch there which was also one of our favorite meals in Mykonos (all of the food was fresh from the farm) To top if off, Dimitris took photos of us the entire time when we were riding bikes and sent us amazing photos to follow up Do this tour!
