Great tour we learnt so much from our guide Georgia. She connected us to the location through history and knowing the local people and cousins. It was money well spent we got much more out of our day rather than wondering around ourselves. Thanks we would highly recommend. Thanks again from Steve and rachel from New Zealand

Georgia was PHENOMENAL. We truly enjoyed everything: her willingness to take pictures, her flexibility, her insights, and her knowledge. When we return to Mykonos, we will definitely look for Georgia. ❤️❤️
