Peter was amazing....
Peter was amazing. Communication was incredible. The extra into the mountains was so fun. 10 out of 10! Peter is the best!
Response from the operator: Peter is an excellent guide, he studied business in the US with basketball scholarship, so he knows both worlds and can give an insight on Greek history, culture and current affairs from an independent point of view. Hope to see you again and spend more time in west Crete.

Amazing Time in Chania
Petro was so knowledgeable and engaging. He educated us on the history of Chania and showed us the town. We had the best time. I highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Petro studied business in the US so he can compare and contrast both cultures. Chania old town and surroundings are very picturesque and is the easiest short day tour from Souda cruise ship port. We hope to see you again in the future to explore more of west Crete, from beaches to mountains, history, culture and food!

This tour was Great, and...
This tour was Great, and George was just fabulous. His knowledge of the area and history of Chania was second to none. As a private tour, he catered for our individual needs, and gave us super recommendations of places to visit in “the old town”. Thank you George, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with you.
Response from the operator: We are so glad you had a great day out and around Chania. Our tours are educative, we talk about history, culture, traditions or whatever interests you. We hope to see you again in the future, there are so many locations to visit in west Crete!

Fabulous guide and tour of Chania
Petro was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of Chania. He was very accommodating to our needs and explained the history of the region thoroughly. At 6’9”, he was easy to spot on pickup. We had a great time visiting Chania and can’t wait to go back.
Response from the operator: We are glad you enjoyed Chania old town and your guide Petro. He studied business in the US and together with his brother George runs Niriis Tours and do tours. There are many locations to visit in west Crete, so next time you come, stay longer. We hope to see you again in Chania, west Crete!

Glorious experiences at the beaches, mountains, castres and antiquities of Chania
My family of six adults took two tours, one with George (educated in Britain, and one with Peter (educated in South Carolina). Each brother was stellar, completely fluent in English (although the difference in their accents was hilarious) and thoroughly knowledgeable in the varied history of this storied and complex place. They were each perfect gentlemen, patient, helpful, and generous with their time and expertise. They answered every question and enriched the experience beyond all expectations. We hope to return and take more excursions with them in the future.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We try to offer a unique experience of Crete, not only we visit nice locations, but also try to enrich the tour with a wealth of information regarding the history, culture or anything that interest you. The best guides are not those who just bombard you with information and become boring, but those who make you comfortable and make a pleasant educative experience. Hope to see you again in the future!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6) cost?
+
Prices start at $470 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6) take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6)?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chania old town and around private tour (price for group of 6) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Balos & Falassarna Beach - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
