Well worth the money !

Amanda_D, Jan 2026
Overall the experience was wonderful. The entire staff was thorough in the instructions ( pay attention to it !) and we loved getting to see the city from a different perspective. The gps did pause a few times , but the team quickly calls you to tell you to turn around. We also accidentally shut off the system , and the team drove to us within 10 minutes to help out. Don’t expect to drive like formula 1, they are slow golf carts but the local drivers are nice about it.

Do it! You will be glad you did.

Lawrence_P, Nov 2025
Thank you for an exceptional time. Without a doubt, this was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend. The concept of the guided tour through a GPS and a recorded 'tour guide' is brilliant. It gives you all of the highlights and allows for taking a tour at your own pace. Customer service was second to none and Kris, the purveyor went WAY out of his way to take care of us. I hope he brings the process to other cities and hopefully to the US. I'd go again. The only caveat is this: if you are not experienced driving on the left side of the road, take your time.

It’s a Golf Cart not an E-Car!

Robin_N, Oct 2025
The title infers an electric car - it’s not - it’s a painfully slow golf cart that will be sure to clog traffic wherever it goes. Our equipment didn’t work without reboots and confusion which just took away from what could have been enjoyable. As long as you are aware of these issues you should have a decent time. We have it 3 stars for the equipment and the car assigned.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Robin its a pity you didn't enjoy it fully! Sorry for that but i have a small remark to it! Yes its a golf car and not a Porsche and after 12 years of operation all the citizens know exactly that you drive max 20 km/h. Why ?for your safety and also so that you will see something on the way because you drive in an open museum and not on the highway. The cars are in good condition and yes your gps fell out twice but we have been very fast with you to help you out ! Big Brother was all the time there! Kind regards and thx for your review

Excellent company, great experience

Jackie_W, Jul 2025
Great way to see the sights, and fun too. You follow a preset route programmed into the sat nav which is co-ordinated with informative commentary. The navigation system has an integrated phone so if you accidentally get lost the company base (who is monitoring your progress) will call you and tell you where to go. Or if you want to talk to them you push the button and they are at the end of the phone. Brilliant concept. The owner was amazing, we got lost at the end, so we went back to base and to ensure we didn’t miss some of the experience he guided us around by leading us on his motorbike and us following in the buggy. So kind of him. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Such a fun way to...

Jessica_G, Jun 2025
Such a fun way to experience Malta! Instructions were explained well and we felt safe the entire ride. The GPS map is incredibly helpful and takes all the guess work out. For any issues, the main office answers your phone call immediately.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you very much for your great review! Kind regards

Excellent - a lot of fun!

James_C, Apr 2025
This was a great experience and we had fun. I highly recommend this activity - it allowed us to slow our pace down and not only see many sites and views it took us through local areas and neighborhoods so we could see a side of every day Malta that many tourists miss. This is a 10/10!

Great Fun but a bit Scary

stephen_b, Apr 2025
Great fun clear briefing nice people. My only concerns are that is a bit intense on the driver with main traffic quite busy and some very narrow lanes. There are loads of spread bumps and you all feel pretty shaken by the end

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Stephen I am verry surprised about your comment concerning main traffic! You are driving like in a small village with not much traffic at all! Narrow lanes of course because that's why we have choosen the golf cars so we can drive in the medieval streets and you see much more than many tourists ever can see Thats the concept !! We also told you that the driver has to take sometimes a break to have the possibility to see the beautiful sites and not driving constantly Kind regards and thx for the comments.

Great Tour!!

jackie_b, Oct 2024
This was an awesome tour. Great way to see the three cities. Very scenic, plenty of photo opportunities. Rolling Geeks were so easy to work with and extremely helpful.

So much FUN!!!

VikkiAnn_A, Sep 2024
Trying to remember to stay in the left side of the road. Laughed the whole time. Great and fun experience, would definitely recommend.

A great, fun experience

Lorna_I, Jul 2024
So much fun. I would recommend this to anyone. A great way to see the sights of the 3 cities at your own pace. The team are always on hand to help if needed. Would definitely do it again.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

hi Thx for your very nice review ! We are happy you enjoyed it . Regards

Great way to learn about and see beautiful Malta

Tracy_W, Jul 2024
A fabulous way to spend an afternoon. Helpful staff and support on the whole journey. We got to see parts of the Island and learn about the history that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen/known. Remember your sun screen and drive slowly. 😃 Fab and we recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Tracy, thank you very much for this nice review. Regards

Extremely fun (but you will be actually driving)

Aimee_S, Jun 2024
This was one of our favorite things we’ve done the whole vacation!! The staff was wonderful and fun. But I DO want to make clear to everyone that you WILL be driving (I read “self driving car” that “does all the work” to mean a car that drives itself). Malta drives on the LEFT SIDE of the road so if you’re American like me, that will take some getting used to. But we had so much fun and we’re glad we did it!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Lol yes sometimes confusing but self drive means you are driving the car yourself and not with a driver or driving on its own We are happy you enjoyed the tour a lot ! Thx for the review! Greetings

A Fun Ride!!!

Lisa_K, Jun 2024
We enjoyed how friendly the staff was and it was easy to navigate. The sites were beautiful! The best way to see Malta!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Yes its a fun way to discover the most historic area of Malta. Thx

Great fun - stunning route.

Helen_E, Jun 2024
The 'car' guides you along a stunning route around the three cities with plenty of opportunities to stop for photos or refreshments. Lots of support from the team back at base if necessary. Ability to take selfies via the cars app. We had two cars for five people and loved following each other along the route taking photos and having a good giggle.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Wow what a nice review of you! We are happy you enjoyed it soo much! Kind regards

Thank you very much for your recommendation of the RG. Kind regards

Great Experience

John_P, Nov 2023
They were ready for us and knew all had to get back to the ship on time. We had beautiful weather too!! Favorite part was the narrow road among the homes and other buildings. Only negative was the roof blocked view. Great experience!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thx for the great review but i can tell you to be happy the car has a roof because otherwise you would be sun burned.

Exploring Malta in an electric car

Nancy_S, Sep 2023
The electric car was easy to drive and the audio GPS was VERY helpful. We explored the 3 cities at our own pace and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The staff is eager to help make your experience memorable and the price was very fair. We highly recommend this experience

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thats what its all about ! thx

Fun and interactive way to see the sites. Nice stop for a drink at the harbour.

Sharon_C, Sep 2023
Helpful and caring staff. They provided a lead vehicle when they saw we were nervous about getting lost. Different and fun way to see the cities.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thx for your nice review

Easy and Fun

CynthiaF_D, Sep 2023
Pleasant surprise how easy and informative. The gps keeps you right on track and informed. The staff are easily available for direction and questions.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

The staff is there to make it for you an experience of a life time.

Fun way to sightseeing

Anthony_T, Sep 2023
Lots of fun, enjoyable experience to see parts of Malta you wouldn't see if walking Would recommend. Staff friendly and buggy instructor was clear on how to drive buggy and follow Sat Nav.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Great and nice review. Thx a lot

Magical Malta

Lindabuchan01, Jun 2023
Seeing areas of Malta that other trips would not be able to reach. We had an amazing time, it was such a different experience to anything we have done before. Everyone who worked there was really friendly and helpful.

More and Then Some!

Karthika_J, Jun 2023
This was so much fun! The experience was far more than we expected and the opportunity to drive on the left side of the road, in itself, was a treat in itself. The tour is well narrated and so informative about Malta's rich history. We got to see some hidden gems that we would have never explored had it not been for Rolling Geeks. Thank you so much a memorable ride!

Bumpy ride but great fun - highly recommended

Allison_K, May 2023
Great fun taking a guided tour yourselves. The Rolling Geeks were very helpful and maintained contact and advised where you should stop to get great views. Driving is fairly easy without too much fuss from other motorists that you can only go 20 miles an hour. Roads not great though and with limited suspension prepare yourself for a bumpy ride!!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi thx for your great review. Yes the road is not always perfect but dont forget you drive with a small buggy.

Good fun

Anar_B, Apr 2023
Great way of going around certain area Good fun too that will be such an exciting way for a family or group of friends to spend some time

Response from Host, May 2023

hi yes this tour with your friends is fun guaranteed! Thx for the review

Fun in the sun 🌞

Andrea_B, Jan 2023
Good fun and got to see and know about places we wouldn’t have. The hosts of Rolling Geeks were so friendly and knowledgeable.

Kind staff but stressful experience

Kristina_S, Nov 2022
I would be careful booking this tour. It is exactly as advertised and the staff was very kind and helpful but for the average American tourist you should really consider your driving abilities before signing up. You drive a golf cart on very active and regular roads and the difference of direction and limitations of the buggy can make it a very stressful experience. The navigation and layout of the cramped narrow roads as well as the sharp turns and frustrated local drivers can be very harrowing to the unprepared. The staff was great at calling and providing direction when we were lost but I personally did not enjoy the experience and wanted it over quickly. The narration likewise was difficult to follow when you are so focused on survival. If you are up for a thrill or very confident in your driving I think the staff was wonderful. But if you are at all hesitant or want a stress free excursion I would highly caution you to let someone else do the driving for you on your tours!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Kristina thx for your review but i have some comments! First of all you are used in America to drive on big roads compared with now small medieval roads here in Malta. Thats a big difference! Secondly the roads are very calm and not much traffic + you have in every country the young drivers who have no patience to drive behind a slow driving car. The tour is only possible to do in these small cars so you can see the three Cities in full detail and that's the concept + during the briefing we tell every client to stop as much as possible at different locations to better enjoy the sites. Probably you were driving all the time and never took the time to stop. When i visit a museum i also stop walking several times to see better the art and not running thru it. This tour is impossible to do it with a bus what could be less stressful. Its a pity you didn't enjoy like many others love it. Anyway thx for Rolling with the Geeks.

A good way to complete Malta

Anar_B, Nov 2022
It was Great way to see the rest of Malta The cherry on top of the cake that we did it at our own pace and chilled and enjoyed so many views
