One of the best things we did in all of Greece! - This was one of the best things we did in all of Greece. It was so nice to spend time with a local who was knowledgable and passionate about Mykonos. He showed us the real side of the island, not the flashy tourist side. It truly felt authentic. Everyone in the family loved it, from the young kids to the old seniors. Highly recommend.

An experience to remember! - These two brothers are the best. They took us to a beautiful snorkeling spot and showed us a vast array of local fish species. Along the swim we learned about the reef, the importance of certain fish and a brief history of the beach itself. The water had over 100ft of clarity and the equipment provided was of the highest quality. We are a family of divers so we recognize the quality of their gear to be the absolute best. After one of the best snorkeling trips of our lives, we went on a short drive via local backroads to taste some homemade local food on a site that had family significance (we won’t tell you that part as it is part of the experience). They put a lot of effort into making our trip more enjoyable. When we were done our tour, we were dropped off at a local favorite restaurant where we had a delightful meal (not part of the trip). It was definitely a trip to remember. If you’re coming to Mykonos and you want to do it right the first time, these are your guys.

Amazing Experience for the Family - I don't know where to begin. Our family of five took an 8 day cruise and our stop at Mykonos ended up being one of our best because of this experience. Nikos and Alex (brothers) run this together and they are 2 amazing people. They've lived in Mykonos their whole lives so they know the island inside and out. You will learn whatever you want to know about this island from these brothers! So here's what we did: We started off with learning how to snorkel at Paradise Beach. Our boys are 10, 12 & 13 and within 15 minutes they all knew how to snorkel. They were so patient and encouraging to our boys. We then swam out a short distance (25 meters) to a reef that was full of all types of fish. Our whole family was blown away by what we saw. From there we took showers and headed over to one of the small local churches where we learned about the culture on the island. They brought some locally grown snacks and they were delicious. After that we went over to another beach for some incredible views and pictures. This was a 5 Star Experience!

6 Star Tour ! - What an excellent adventure !! Our family of 6 wanted to get away from the crowds on our cruise stop on Mykonos and after the hectic time we had on Santorini we decided to book with Nikos and his brother to go snorkeling and explore the island! And what a great choice it was ! The snorkeling was AMAZING we have snorkeled in many locations before but nowhere with such wonderfully clear water! Also the fish life was abundant on the reef! The tour is very well thought out. From start to finish. The pick up is seamless as Nikos is at the meeting location with a big kayak paddle in the air, great idea. Then you are taken to Paradise beach, where you meet his brother, and is where they grew up, with everything planned very well. Changing rooms, toilets and showers , plus he books a sunbed for you to leave your things. He also makes sure all valuables are safe leaving them with the beach staff to put in a safe spot. Snorkeling equipment with fins are new and well maintained with anti fog spray for the googles ! After the wonderful snorkel , there is time to shower and change and then to make your way with Nikos through the back roads of Mykonos with him pointing out local houses, farms and churches. We stopped at a lovely church with a view of Mykonos in the background and had some local delicacies that were much appreciated after the salty mouths from he swim ! Then refreshed we went by another wonderful view point of Super Paradise beach and got some pictures before making our way to the village of Ano Mera where we had a chance to stroll around and also pick up some souvenirs! Ano Mera is lovely and not too busy and we were able to tick of some shopping we wanted with ease ! At the end we were dropped off at Mykonos Town as we wanted, after such a relaxing morning, to brave the crowds and with a great recommendation from Nikos , have the best gyros on the island !! This tour was amazing ! Cant recommend it enough!!!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST DO TOUR! EXCELLENT! - This tour is a MUST DO! It was one of the most incredible, organized & knowledgeable tours I have ever taken. Nikos & Alexis were AMAZING!! This tour is run by two brothers who are natives to Mykonos and I can’t say enough great things about them. They took us snorkeling at Paradise Beach and then Nikos drove us all over the island stopping at so many interesting & beautiful places. He brought us all snacks: figs which are an island favorite, some walnut pies from one of the local bakeries, water bottles & an herbal tea that his mom made. I am not exaggerating when I say between 8 of us, we asked over 100 questions. And Nikos answered every single one-he was so incredibly knowledgeable & helpful! We learned more in 4 hours than any textbook could have taught us. He & his brother were so kind. I cannot say enough great things about this tour. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Don’t miss this one!

A Tour to Remember !!! - We booked this tour with my wife to see more of the nature of Mykonos and give our kids a chance to snorkel, What we got was an amazing tour by two brothers Alex and Nikos , native to the island that were amazingly welcoming and knowledgeable. The snorkeling stop was our kids high part of the entire cruise ! Lots of fish , great guiding from the brothers with explanations of the marine life and how it interacts with the reef we snorkeled over. The equipment was top notch. Also they dive down and get great pictures with their Go Pro ! The tour continues going past beautiful narrow back roads and stopping at lovely view points. We had a stop at a family church were we sampled some delicious local snacks ! The tour ended back at our boat and we wished we could have stayed for longer ! We also appreciated that everything was included no hidden charges. Book this tour , don't hesitate !

the real Mykonos - A wonderful escape from the tourist side of Mykonos. A taste of the real Mykonos with some snorkeling and a guide. One of our favorite excursions on our cruise. Well worth it.

The real Mykonos - Everything about this company was wow! - the pre-trip communications of what to expect and what you need to prepare - the emphasis on safety and knowledge of weather conditions - the concern for the environment and wildlife - the very friendly, personable and knowledgeable guides - the equipment and pre-instruction - the route taken on the part of Mykonos not visited by the party crowd or before the crowds arrive - the scrumptious authentic Greek snacks and homemade iced tea (mother's recipe) - the time to swim and snorkel with colourful guiding and explanations of the sea life - the hotel pick up and return - the company photos taken during the trip and sent after the trip - the local referrals of places to eat, and what to see and do in the area Highly recommended!

Amazing activity island tour ! - I can’t say enough good things about Nikos and Alex! The brothers were fun, professional and showed us some great sights around Mykonos!! The snorkeling stop was amazing with a lovely reef and many types of fish that Nikos and Alex explained, we even held a sea urchin! The brothers have a wealth of information about Mykonos and island life as a local year round! So helpful, nice and friendly! Also had some great local snacks to try while exploring and a great home made tea that we enjoyed with a great view of one of the prettiest beaches on the island! Honestly a must for any trip to Mykonos!! U won’t regret it :)
