Top Malta Day Trips

Nick was an incredible tour guide: knowledgeable, accommodating, and endlessly patient. Whether we were asking about the history of the island or why the Blue Lagoon is that shade of blue, he always had an answer. He also gracefully put up with the antics of two 27-year-olds determined to see Gozo while taking as many photos and videos as humanly possible. There’s always a question of resource management when booking excursions on a trip, but I can confidently say this ended up being the best investment of our 5-day stay in Malta. Getting around the island was seamless, and we managed to hit nearly every major spot on our bucket list, including Dwejra Bay (Blue Hole), Wied il-Mielaħ Window, Ta’ Pinu National Shrine, Xwejni Salt Pans, Ramla Bay, Ġgantija Archaeological Park, Xerri’s Grotto, Tal-Mixta Cave, Xlendi Beach and cliffs, and the Citadella. What made the experience even more memorable was how personal it felt. Nick shared stories about his family, his life, and the island with such warmth that Gozo started to feel less like a destination and more like a place being introduced to us by an old friend. We even got to briefly meet his wife in passing, which somehow became one of the sweetest moments of the day. Not booking a private tour and specifically requesting Nick is honestly doing your Malta trip a disservice. I genuinely do not think you’ll find a more knowledgeable, accommodating, or passionate guide on the island. And don’t just take my word for it — even the other tour guides we encountered spoke highly of him and told us the same. Nick has this rare ability to make Gozo feel alive through its history, landscapes, and stories. By the end of the day, it felt less like we had simply toured the island and more like we had been personally introduced to it by someone who deeply loves his home. Could not recommend this experience more highly.

Chris was a wonderful tour guide. We knew nothing about Malta before arriving. We saw Valletta, Mdina, the Blue Grotto, and other parts. We were interested in Apostle Paul history, and he pointed out the historical shipwreck location and other sites. Our favorite location was the blue Grotto. The natural beauty was awesome. There were so much vibrant colors.

Excellent tour. Really friendly guide. Learned lots about the history of Malta, got tips about places to visit for the rest of our stay and as for the food......there was so much! Not just little bites like on most tours, this was full snacks , drinks and finished with a full meal. All excellent from lots of local places that you could easily just walk past. Make sure you arrive hungry!
