Greek night
What an absolutely amazing night. Got picked up and dropped of at our hotel, the guide was amazing full of energy and she had us all dancing and clapping along all night. She had loads of good local knowledge and kept us all well informed. The food was really nice and the music and dancing were so much fun. Absolutely stunning location. Definitely give this a try.

A wonderful evening - anytime again
We had a great evening at the "Cretan Night" with LOCI Tours. Everything was perfectly organized, from the pick-up at the hotel, the support on the bus and the organization of the event. For us, it was an unforgettable evening with authentic Greek music, Greek dances, and Greek food and wine. Our special thanks go to Anna and Michael for committed, competent and also funny support during the entire tour. We highly recommend this tour with LOCI Tours!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE?
+
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 Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE?
+
Around 2 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rethymno: Cretan Night with Dinner and Live Music, LOCAL GUIDE 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.

Not included: Anything that isn’t mentioned above; and Pick-up/drop-off from RG Village Crete costs €10.00 per person due to limited bus access.

+
