Delos is a great site & our guide was very knowledgeable. Museum was closed, without notice, but the guide sent us, which wasted our free exploring time. We added the local farm dinner option. It was okay,but there was no tour or talk about the farm or food. It was quite a way over there, so not worth the extra time & $$. Our drriver left wout telling us. We were worried, being dumped on other side of the island w
o communication from tour co., but finally the farm staff got the tour company to send someone to get us.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of details. We also had plenty of time to see the ruins without feeling rushed. It was an incredible experience. Our tour ended with lunch at a nearby farm. The traditional Greek meal was delicious.

The tour started out bumpy as there was a disconnect in communication between the tour organizer and the escort who picked us up. The pickup times were incorrect & this caused some tension between the escort & several customers. Overall, the tour organizer was very easy to communicate with & responded quickly. Carefully read what is included in the price beforehand as the cost for the ferry & whispers must be paid in cash only on the day of the tour.
Our guide Kleopatra was wonderful- she gave great insights & history, was witty
& entertaining. She was a highlight of our entire trip! The tour is really for those interested in the historical aspects of Delos, we found some of the younger children on the tour were not engaged or interested & this was quite distracting.

Delos itself is an incredible archaeological site, a phenomenal experience if you appreciate history. The guide felt pointless, as she was difficult to understand while projecting her voice for everyone to hear her over the wind, as she kept using the same upward inflection which made it very grating to listen to. She also did not include a lot of detail about the mythology, telling us it was the birthplace of Apollo, but ignoring his sister Artemis completely. She also repeated the same annoying phrases like “hello, hello, hello, are we all here? Are we all here? Hello, hello.” To the point that many in the group would laugh when this happened. She also left us half-way through the tour, so we were left the explore the rest of the site on our own, although it came as a relief since the guide was so disappointing. The boat was also over crowded with not enough seating for everyone.

What an interesting place to visit and so beautiful!! Worth a morning over there if not for the visit but the time on the water. We had a great guide that walked us around and helped us understand the layout and the culture that lived here.
