Top Malta Private Sightseeing Tours - page 11

I had the good fortune of booking this tour, which gave me a wonderful sense of beautiful Malta. This was my first time in the country, and after spending, unfortunately, only a few hours there, I already want to come back and spend much more time exploring it. First, the pre-cruise communication with Chris via WhatsApp was excellent. He confirmed all the details of my tour, including the date, number of passengers, pick-up time, and location, and he also shared plenty of helpful recommendations about things to see and do. Tony was the driver for our tour, and it was an absolute pleasure spending the day with him. He took us to all the main sights in Malta that could reasonably fit into a shore excursion like ours. We spent about an hour and a half exploring Floriana and Valletta, including a visit to St. John’s Co-Cathedral (bought the tickets online the day before). We then visited the Three Cities and had about an hour to walk around Vittoriosa (so beautiful), followed by the Blue Grotto, where we took the boat tour and had lunch at a local restaurant (which was just okay). We also visited the Hagar Qim Temples and the Mdina Fortress. Tony’s van was impeccably clean and comfortable, and his driving made my family and me feel completely safe throughout the day. One thing I would like to clarify for future travelers is that Tony drove us to the various sites and explained things along the way, but he did not accompany us inside the attractions because he is not a licensed tour guide. I was aware of this when I booked the tour (the tour description makes this very clear), so it was not a problem for me. However, to fully enjoy this type of tour, you should be comfortable exploring the sites independently. At some stops, Tony would drop us off and meet us again shortly afterward, sometimes at the same location and sometimes just a few meters away. Would I book this tour again? Absolutely! And, if possible, I would definitely request Tony as the driver. Overall, it was well worth the price, a wonderful way to get a taste of Malta during a short shore excursion, and I highly recommend it.

We had an amazing private day tour around Malta in July. Christopher was fantastic. He was enthusiastic and gave us so much information on Malta and all the various sites we visited. He tailored our tour to the sites we wanted to visit. There is no way we could have covered everything without doing a tour like this. He added in a few spots we hadn't thought of. Highlights were Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, Mosta Cathedral, the Three Cities, and the pirate museum at St Thomas tower. The cart ruts were fascinating and the view from the Dingli Cliffs was gorgeous. Pickup and dropoff from Rabat was easy. Thank you Christopher. This tour was a highlight of our trip. We would highly recommend booking.

Amazing place and tour was the best we can imagine! Our group was 12 people aged 12 to 87 and there was something for everyone. Important sites, great photos, delicious Malta snacks- and incredible views. We loved our day in Malta- our tour guide, Edmund Garage, made it excellent!!

Jason was really knowledgeable and a gentleman. I was travelling alone and having the luxury of a guide and an aircon car in the middle of July was indispensable! I got to see an overview of most of the key areas in central Malta. Highly recommend it.

Very well timed tour, that included at least one hour and thirty minutes at Blue Lagoon, which was really appreciated. Also great to have the opportunity to swim in the Crystal Lagoon! One tip: get in earlier than 9.00am even if the boat is advertised as 9.30am, as the boat fills up quite quickly!

We did this on our first proper day in Malta to get orientated and learn about the country. It is a great town and the guide was very knowledgeable. I liked that she pointed out other things to do and places to go. I liked that she used a microphone and headphones so we could hear her but I think she needs a better muff to block the wind as that made it a bit crackly sometimes.

I was with my family of 5, and I was worried as a lot of reviews for this and other boat trips said the boats got really crowded. Perhaps we got lucky but the crowds were not too bad when we went and the boat ride was amazing! We got to make a lot of cool stops, swim, use the slide on the boat, and get some cool photos. One thing to note is that they leave at very strict times and the departure dock is a little bit of a walk, so try to find it early (15 minutes early to find should be okay. It's by a little wood deck... I emailed the company to get a better clarification). Also, we did the ride during the sunset towards the end to see the sunset views. Lastly, they offer food but I suggest you wait till the end as you make a stop on an island with some vendors who have more food options for the same prices so you get choice. You'll likely be hungry towards the second half of the trip and you may regret not optin in for food, but once you get to the last island and can buy food, it's worth. Also the final island takes card so don't worry if you don't have cash.

Mary, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Malta history. She gave us a very thorough synopsis of it all. I included St John’s Co-Cathedral, also well done. Caravaggio paintings are stunning. Stayed after the tour was finished to linger longer in the Cathedral and also experience the Caravaggio exhibit about all his works.
