An interesting tour where we even got to see the mayor, I think our guide planned it special, lol. We enjoyed our time on Patmos , and after our tour had a great lunch in town. Having a private guide gives you so much information on the history surrounding you that you just don't get when viewing on your own

This was the most I have paid for a tour, I was told the tour would be in Spanish and that is what I asked for. I even called Viator and confirmed, also the tour had the Spanish option please remove it. Being a small Island I understand that tourism is a way o making a f living for the islanders. We were taken to the monastery and to St. John's grotto. Make sure you bring cash to pay for entrances as they do not take credit or debit cards, they also do not like US dollars. We were also taken to someone's house which was not included in the tour, we of course had to pay for the entrance. Nothing that I saw was worth the visit, old furniture, and they also take you to the second floor because first floor is under construction, stairs are very steep, be careful if you have mobility issues. It's a better option to hire a taxi and have them drop you off at the grotto.

What a great tour… probably one of the best we have had and we go on a lot of Tours! Angela, our guide, was so amazing with both the depth of knowledge she shared and also how she allowed us to feel at home on her home island and share authentic answers to the many questions we asked about living on Patmos now as well as in the past!!
