We decided on transportation to the vessel, organized by the tour organizer. The driver was 15 minutes late and dropped us off 1/2 mile from the vessel. We didn't know this at the time. I asked where was the guide. He pointed in the general direction of a quiosk. The guy in quiosk pointed across the bay and said you have to go there. This was then 15 minutes before the ferry left. We just made it. Last ones onboard!
When I got our tickets I asked the person dealing with the tour as to why the whole process was pathetic. Well the vehicle can't come here. Oh why wasn't we informed what to do then and also inform us that we should have paid 2 euros for the sea bus to take us across the inlet! ( Something else we found out after the fact) We use Viator regularly but this time you "dropped the ball" with this operator and I ain't stupid as I have organized this 12 day Greece and islands tour myself!

The tour was great. Our guide, Ava, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the site and answered any questions we had. It was a great way to get a little culture and we got to see a magnificent sunset on the boat ride back to Mykonos.

The tour was interesting and really helped with the explanation and value Delos provided to Greek history. However, having paid for an English tour and having a guide that struggled to speak English was a little frustrating and made it an effort to try and understand what was being said. I would still recommend the tour to anyone that wants to learn about Greek history, but when you sign up for a specific language it would be appreciated to have a guide that has the ability to speak it.

The tour of Delos was amazing. Our guide Cleopatra taught us so much in an interesting and entertaining way. We were picked up at our hotel and transported to the departure point at the port. This was the only fault we found, not in the quality of the service, but that we were a bit unsure of where to go, so more direction and maybe having someone greet us and lead us through the process would have been helpful. I texted the tour operator several times and they were very prompt at responding.

The driver was late for 20 minutes. When I arrived, I had to collect the ticket and I was the last one to get in the boat.
The sight was not very interesting. On my way back to the hotel, I could not find the driver standby and got in the wrong car and I was charged Euro 25. It was an unpleasant experience for me.

The guide was very informative. She was very passionate about the history of the ruins.
The Sea Bus was good going there and back. The only thing was he did not stay long enough at the dock and some of us didn't get out, because we didn't realize he stopped. When asked to take us back he refused since it was the end of the day and his last stop was on the other side of the cove. So, we were stranded there late at night with no transport back to the hotel. Until the other couple found a way for us to go back to the city.
