Hurry up hurry up hurry up
Tourguide Anastasia was great!!! But that was the only thing. Almost no time for nothing. Just rushing and hurry up. Why not adapt the ferry schedule???
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! Please note that all organised shared tours to Delos run on a fixed ferry timetable, as ferry schedules between Mykonos and Delos are predetermined and shared by all visitors on the island that day. On the day of your visit there were several cruise ship arrivals to Mykonos, which resulted in big crowds on the archaeological site and made the schedule feel tighter than usual. However, the tour still followed the standard program of a guided tour followed by free time to explore independently. We appreciate your comments and hope you enjoyed the unique experience of visiting ancient Delos!

Great tour of ancient ruins, and get the lunch!
Highly recommend the day trip to Delos with lunch on the farm. The trip coordinator communicated well throughout the process, sent us instructions the day before, and contacted me in the morning to make sure we were in the correct place. Once at Delos, our guide was knowledgeable and went at a good pace for the group. We added lunch on the farm, a must! The shuttle driver picked us up from the port and drove us to the farm. The food was fantastic and the scenery was beautiful. We visited at the end of the season, so the Chef was able to come to our table and talk to us. It was truly a wonderful experience. Each person we encountered was kind, authentic and genuine.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are really glad to know that you enjoyed your visit to Delos, as well as the lunch. We would love to welcome you again in the future!

A riveting must-see for ancient Greek history fans
A really fantastic and informative activity! Lots of history to learn about and beautiful vistas to take in all around you. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he gave us ample time to look around and appreciate each point of interest on the tour. He also took some group photos for us which was very kind! Delos is such a unique place, and the excavation work done there on the island has uncovered so much to see and marvel at; it is well worth the time and money to visit. So many sweet cats on the island too, which was a great little perk! We all had an amazing day there. The travel logistics were simple too, and the ferry ride was really enjoyable. Arranging the tour with Eleni was quick and easy, she was very accommodating. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with even a passing interest in ancient history or cute kitties. 5 stars well deserved, thank you (:
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We are really excited to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of your visit to Delos. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ancient Delos Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.
How much does Ancient Delos Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mykonos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ancient Delos Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mykonos is not rushed.
Is Ancient Delos Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 220 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mykonos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ancient Delos Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ancient Delos Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ancient Delos Tour?
+
Around 77 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mykonos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mykonos and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ancient Delos Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mykonos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mykonos?
+
On Outty we rank every Mykonos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour and Wine Tasting in Mykonian Land, Local Tour with Cruise/Hotel Pick-Up(Small Group or Private), Catamaran Day & Sunset Cruises with meals Drinks and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mykonos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mykonos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
