The island of Delos is historically important and so deserves respect when you go. The guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and funny throughout the hour and a half she had us. Once you're allowed to do your own thing before going back to the boat make the most of the photo spots and information boards spread everywhere..really informative. There is no food or drink facilties so make sure you buy before you go..ALSO I got a 10% discount off the ticket price through joining the GYG app but before u accuse me of taking money away from the ppl we gave our guide a good tip for the experience...remember that!! now the only rough note to be aware of...SEA CONDITIONS...it was windy on land before the journey but once we got out of the harbour it got quite edgy..sitting upstairs helped a lot but ppl still got lashed about...the return journey was fun part..not for everyone tho..we sat dwnstairs inside and it was really rough with some ppl being sea sick..make sure you take proper shoes!

Amazing tour that I would highly recommend mainly thanks to our guide Athena-Christiana Loupou, who is an actual archaeologist and worked at Delos for 5 years. Her insight into the lives of the ancient Greeks living in Delos was fascinating. We managed to cover all the relevant areas in about 3 hours. It was definitely worth the trip and something to consider doing

Our tour guide provided a brilliant, charismatic, highly informative tour experience of the historical significance of the island as well as the daily life of ancient residents. I highly recommend the evening tour for those who are sensitive to the sun and heat -- the evening weather was perfect!
