We loved our private guide. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and loved telling us about Greek culture, food and life! He took pictures, drove us to many spots around the island and taught us so much about Greek history. It was a great way to kick off our first day in Milos Read more

This was an amazing tour and very worthwhile. Our guide Ian's drove us around a good portion of the island explaining history and answering our questions. We saw the place where the Venus de Milo statue was disco verde, went into some catacombs, had a chance to jump/dive off small cliffs into the ocean at an amazing beach, with fabulous white stone landscape. We had time to swim and time to lunch on our own and shop. A highlight of our trip. Read more
