Local guide made this a highlight stop

On a 10 day cruise a this tour was the highlight of the trip. Our driver Carmel was hands down the best!!! He was from Malta and knew all the history. He took the time to make fantastic stops and really show us what Malta has to offer. I feel like we were able to see all of Malta in 6 hours. Highly recommend using Carmel.
