We will confess that we did not take the tour, we were on a cruise and did not attempt to schedule any outside activities. That said, we were in a restaurant on two separate days when Aristotle brought in a group and ordered wine and tomato fritters for them. He was charming and knowledgeable so we asked for his card, if/when we return, we will look him up and book a tour. His web site offers very detailed information for those wanting to gauge whether this tour is for them.

This experience was the highlight of our time in Mykonos. The food was amazing - home grown or made on Matt, our host’s, granddad’s farm. We also loved that we were getting off the beaten track and discovering the chapel and sights up in the mountains. Matt was accommodating, knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time. We actually went in July 2019 but I took too long in making the review so couldn’t select that date. But it was too good not to share!

If you are visiting Athens, whether it's for the first time or not, you should definitely do this tour at the beginning of your stay. It shows you so much of the city, the best places to visit, to eat and spend time. It also takes you to some places you wouldn't ordinarily see and shows you a completely different side to this great city. The guide was born and bred in Athens so brilliant local knowledge/history and passionate about his city. If we go back we will definitely do this tour again, it was the best 3 hours we spent in Athens. (Athens by Bike - Morning Tour...on an ordinary bike!)

We did the Acropolis Skip-the-Line Walking tour with English speaking guide and we had an incredible tour with Anna exploring Acropolis. Since there was not a lot of tourists coming that week, we lucked out and ended up with just us on the tour. Instead of cancelling what was booked as a group tour, we got to do it with her as our personal guide. She was very knowledgeable and so personable, we had a blast and learned a ton. Highly recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting the city!

Enjoy a small-group cruise that lets you meet new people while taking in the sights along Lake Austin. Perfect for solo travelers or small groups who don’t want to rent the entire boat themselves, this intimate cruise offers the perks of a private cruise without the associated costs. Bring your own drinks—alcoholic beverages welcome—and a camera to capture photos of the lakeside grotto known as Little Venice. The Lake Austin cruise takes off the Loop 360 Boat Ramp located below the southern end of Pennybacker Bridge over Lake Austin. This three-acre park is primarily used for lake access, but offers a grassy area for picnicking. A few bald cypress and sycamore trees grow along the water's edge. From here we set sail towards Mount Bonnell, where the lake is lined with outrageously luxurious lakefront homes. You'll then slow troll through a semi-private grotto called Little Venice where you get a closeup view of these mansions as we head back to the 360 bridge!

Inclusions: Fun Captain!

Exclusions: $5/person CASH ONLY Loop 360 Boat Ramp walk-in fee
