The private tour runs about 6–8 hours and usually includes hotel pick-up/drop-off, a local guide/driver, a full-course traditional lunch, and stops at gorges, villages and Preveli Beach.
The tour is family-friendly but involves stairs and uneven ground at several stops; parents and guests with mobility limits should notify the operator for assistance or modified stops.
Yes—Preveli has a beach and swimming is common, but access includes a steep path and sometimes a short boat option; bring shoes for the descent and watch for currents.
Most stops are free to visit; any private ferry or museum entrance would be extra. Tipping guides and drivers is customary for personalized service.
