Mykonos Island Tour
Great excursion outside the chaos of the city around the island. We saw both North and South sides of the island. Leo was a superb guide, drove carefully and explained throughly.

Great time on Mikonos with our Guide Leo
Great time on Mikonos with our Guide Leo. We learned a lot about the island with him and even about greek mithilogy. We do recommend this Company serviços.
via Tripadvisor
Great tour for cruise passengers
Leo was great. He met us right outside the gate where the boat docks. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour with him in his car. It was a great tour of the island with the history. Leo was very informative and food a great job. We ended in Old town or little Venice. We could’ve gone back to the port with him, but we chose to stay and Do some shopping then we walked to the bus stop where we had a complimentary ride back to the port. I highly recommend it. (The only thing I would suggest, is if you get car sick, take precautions. He drives at a slow pace and they roads are narrow and windy in places.)

Traveling in Greece
Leo was spectacular!! Our tour was wonderful, interesting, and informative. We saw so much of the island and he used our pace. The whole experience was magnificent! We would recommend this tour to everyone. We would give him more than 5 stars.

Private Mykonos tour for cruise passengers.
Leo did a great job. Covered everything on the itinerary. Even called restaurant and found us a great place for lunch. It’s so nice to have a private tour and not be part of a big group off the ship.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.
How much does Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers cost?
+
Prices start at $71 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 Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 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 Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers?
+
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 Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers?
+
Around 11 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mykonos Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Ship Passengers 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.
