Milos - So Very Different Than We Thought and Pleasantly Pleased - Our time on Milos was made even better by Yannis' knowledge of the area. We were able to see so many spectacular sights and he brought history to life. From the Imerys Mines to the Lunar Landscape (must not miss), to Plaka, seeing where the farmer uncovered the Venus de Milo statue and used it as part of his fence to the Roman Amphitheater. Yannis was kind enough to drop us off at the port instead of our hotel. Great half day tour! Thanks Yannis

A brilliant and worthwhile half day tour! - This tour was a great way to learn some history of the island and it was very helpful to get an overview of where things are, especially if you are not renting a car and planning to use buses, which is very doable. Yannick was a fantastic guide, informative, personable, friendly, helpful and he had a great approach to the tour. If I was to change anything I would have less time at Sarakiniko and maybe tag that onto Plaka instead. Sarakiniko is impressive as a sight but I didn't feel I needed and hour there but that is just me personal view. The meeting point was easily found and communication was very clear from the vendor. We had a nice group, 3 Spanish, 2 Australian and 1 Irish. I would absolutely recommend the tour to anyone, I enjoyed every minute, including the stop at the bakery to refuel! Thanks Yannick for a wonderful tour.

Must do excursion. - You lean a lot of history about Milos, but the best are the sights you see, just unbelievable. You see them up high and you get to swim if you want. Only bad thing was when they changed the time for an hour later in order to combine 2 groups together. That messed us for our afternoon trip

Lovely - The tour was incredible! Loved all the stops. If anything could have improved I would suggest longer stay in plaka v the beach. Or make it part of the itinerary letting tourists know that the stop is an hour to be prepared to swim.
