VIP Rethymno Tour with Dionysus
My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Dionysus today as our tour guide on the VIP Rethymno Tour. Dionysus is very passionate about his job and more importantly his homeland, Rethymno. He is very informative and knowledgeable and translates English very well. My wife and I enjoyed the conversation learning about Crete. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the old villages. Olive Oil, Honey, Wine, Raki, Lamb, Fresh Vegetables, Cheese, Dakos all wonderful! We highly recommend this tour. If your fortunate to get Dionysus as your guide, even better.
Response from the operator: Hello Chris, Thank you for the amazing review and for recommending our tour, we are so glad you had such a wonderful time on our tour and enjoyed the company of our guide! Best Wishes, Cretan Safari Agni

Cretan Safari - Rethymno Tour
Our Cretan Safari adventure was amazing. With our guide and driver, Dionisios we explored stunning places. Each location was more breathtaking than the last, and Dionisios's deep knowledge and passion for Crete made the experience unforgettable. He guided us with expertise and ensured our comfort and safety throughout the journey. We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience and highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Crete!

We had an amazing day with Dionysius, he is funny and he has a good knowledge of Crete. My kids loved him. My 10yr old said it was the best day in Crete better then the waterpark 😄

A wonderful glimpse of the cretan countryside
Mr Dionysis was an amazing driver and guide, he had tons of patience with the kids and funny jokes and stories to keep them engaged. It was a great opp to learn more things about the location, the people, its products and to help us love this island even more. The live milk feeding of the little goat was the cherry on the cake :)
Response from the operator: Hello Zoiv, Thank you for your review, we are happy to know you enjoyed our tour and the company of our drive and guide Dionysis. We hope to see you again soon! Best Wishes, Cretan Safari Team

Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $629 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 Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari?
+
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 Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari?
+
Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari 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 Cretan Safari – 4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach with Lunch, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari. 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.
What is included in Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari?
+
Included: Professional local guide; Hotel pick-up and drop-off from Georgioupolis, Rethymno and Bali area; All taxes, fees, and handling charges; and Lunch. Not included: Additional drinks (beer, soft drinks). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 80 listed pickup locations in and around Chania. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls & Preveli Beach Private Safari if the weather is bad?
