Edmund made us feel at ease the minute we first met and made it clear that the day could be whatever we wanted. The entire day was spent ensuring we got the true local taste and feel of Malta and not just the Tourist thing....Thanks Edmund and Leo and we will certainly let our friends know coming over next week where they can find the perfect day tour .

    Excellent personal tour

    Sharon_B, Nov 2026
    Peter provided excellent commentary about the various towns, symbols and churches we encountered allowed the way. We really got a great feel for life in Malta.

    Malta highlights in a day

    Susan_B, Oct 2026
    A great tour. Paul was full of knowledge and enthusiasm and we were able to cover the main highlights of Malta accompanied by his great care and attention to detail.

    Great Malta tour guide!

    Paula_R, Oct 2026
    Joseph was an excellent tour guide for our group of 8 friends. We already had an idea of the customized tour we wanted to do but he added suggestions and gave us great information and insights about Malta as we drove the countryside. He dropped us at the walled city of Mdina for a couple hours and when I called for a pickup he was literally there in 1 minute! The meet-up point first thing in the morning was also super easy and our greeter was so friendly! I will definitely recommend this team to others visiting Malta!

    Absolutely terrific day....

    Excellent introduction to the island and its history. Raymond, our driver was extremely knowledgeable and personable.

    An Exceptional Experience in Malta -Highly Recommended!

    Kim_I, Oct 2026
    We cannot recommend Edmond Garage highly enough! Our tour was absolutely excellent, and Sylvia was an incredible guide, sharing her wealth of historical knowledge, fascinating insights, and genuine passion for Malta. She was punctual, courteous, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. I have some mobility issues, and Sylvia was exceptionally considerate, making every effort to get me as close as possible to the sights so I could enjoy the tour to the fullest. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference. But what really set Sylvia apart was what happened at the end of our tour. I had accidentally left my sweater in her car, and without hesitation, she drove all the way back to the cruise port to return it to me. She genuinely went above and beyond, and her thoughtfulness meant so much to us. If you are visiting Malta and looking for a fantastic, memorable, and personal experience, look no further than Edmond Garage. The tour was wonderful, but Sylvia’s warmth and kindness made it truly unforgettable. Thank you, Sylvia, for such a special day and for going the extra mile. We are so grateful! Wholeheartedly recommended! Best wishes, Kim and Jeff

    Best tour of our trip so far!!

    T_C, Oct 2026
    Probably one of the best tours we did on our vacation. Our driver was Joseph, who was personable, good sense of humor, and so accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would not hesitate to use the company again. I also had to reach out to the company with a couple of questions prior to our tour, and they responded very expeditiously, and the ultimate professionals. Definitely a five star tour.

    Touring Malta.

    Karen_W, Oct 2026
    Very guide dependent. Our tour guide was very good but his lunch recommendations was a miss. We choose to more of the backcountry to tour.

    perfect tour company

    farzaneh_k, Oct 2026
    We had a wonderful time on our private tour with Joseph! He was a perfect gentleman, very knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information with us. He was patient and never rushed us, allowing us to enjoy each stop at our own pace. We were able to see so many places , Joseph went out of his way to help us make the most of our day and experience everything we wanted to see. We truly enjoyed the tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Joseph, for making our experience so memorable! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful private tour.

    Malta is amazing! you get to go to many cities on this drive, but mind upu: this is not a fully guided tour.

    Joanne_K, Oct 2026
    John is a really amazing person, he is courteous and nice. He is very very fluent in English. with all that said: this is not a guided tour. he explains as much as he can. eventhough he is fluent in English his strong thick accent made it almost impossible to understand. He really tried speaking slower, but we were able to understand less than half of what he tried to explain. He drove us everywhere, but he stayed in the car. I saw another person very well recommended from this company, guiding and touring with the guests, so, if you want a fully guided tour this is NOT your tour. Great nice amazing driver though.

    Custom made comfort

    Best tour by a local that we have ever had❤️❤️🥰

    Linda_F, Oct 2026
    Our driver Raymond was amazing! He took us to places that locals go to which we could of stayed all day. He introduced us to friends and we saw SOOOO much in 8 hours. This was the best money we spent in the island of Malta. Our group of 4 didn’t want it to end. Marsaxlokk, Qrendi, Blue Grotto, Dingli cliffs, Mgarr, Mdina, Rabbat, Golden Beach and so much more that I can’t remember. Thank you Raymond for sharing your love of Malta. You shared amazing info on the history of Malta and the fact that you shared the same last name as my husband was not a coincident ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Great Private Day Trip

    Benjie_C, Oct 2026
    My driver/guide is no less than the Boss, Edmond., the man himself! I really enjoyed it. It’s really my pace without the annoying time limits and being conssious that ime is not forever I paced myself adequately and covered a lot of ground in 8 hours. We sampled local patries from a street food shop away from the touristy places. Edmond showed me the must-see places in mainland Malta starting from the airport through my drop-off point in Valetta and many points of interest along the way. Boat right in the grotto did nit operate during my visit due to sea conditions. Recommended.

    They Cancelled Us the Evening Before the Tour

    Cindy_V, Oct 2026
    This tour operator cancelled the evening before the tour without reason. Do not use this company who may leave you stuck!

    My customizable day tour!

    Basheer_B, Oct 2026
    My guide Sylvia was amazing! Very knowledgeable about all thing Malta, and very friendly. We had a great time and she gave the best recommendations! Had I stuck to my initial itinerary my tour wouldn't have been as good!

    Driver Paul was friendly,...

    LouNLane_B, Oct 2026
    Driver Paul was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient with our time. The places we saw and memories we made were great. More time could be given to refining the spots where the customers want to go and how long they are at each spot.

    Great Travel Experience

    Vince_P, Oct 2026
    This was a great tour at a great price. Our guide, Sylvia, was very knowledgeable about Malta. She shared great insights and a historical perspective we probably wouldn’t have had from others. She was very accommodating to our requests to customize our tour. This was a very beautiful part of our travel experience.

    Great Malta Highlights

    Douglas_W, Sep 2026
    We only had a few hours to tour Malta, and Silvia gave us a great overview. She took us to the top sites and gave us a great overview of Malta's history. Would totally recommend.

    Paula_H, Sep 2026
    It was a great overview of Malta. We were able to set amount of time at different locations and choose sites of most interest to us. Trip also allowed us to modify amount of time at a site based on our interest and weather as very hot for our trip

    Beautiful, Historic Malta

    Carol_J, Sep 2026
    The van was clean and comfortable and Edmund was a superb tour guide. As a native Maltese, he proudly showed us and explained all the highlights of the island. It was a wonderful day of sightseeing under his enthusiastic guidance.

    A day in Malta.

    maggie_d, Sep 2026
    The meetup was seam less. Joseph was very knowledgeable about his island and listen to our ever request. Dropped us off and we called him when we wanted to move on. .

    Great personal tour. Paul was great. And Anne knew his information took us to all the great spots. I would highly recommend.

    The Best of Malta

    Scott_B, Sep 2026
    This tour provided our group the flexibility to see the highlights of Malta that were our top priority. Our driver and guide, Sylvia, was very knowledgeable. While driving us between stops, Sylvia provided us with both current and historical information. Our time on the tour with Sylvia was a highlight of our cruise in the Mediterranean.

    Sylvia was very...

    Stacy_S, Sep 2026
    Sylvia was very entertaining, passionate and flexible! We had a great time and intro to Malta on this tour.

    Fantastic day being shown the highlights of Malta

    Carmen_r, Sep 2026
    A fantastic day being shown around Malta by Raymond. We never would have known what to see or where to go on our own. Raymond was really knowledgeable and interesting.

    Exceptional service

    Daniel_C, Sep 2026
    Nothing was too much trouble for Raymond our driver. Excellent way to get a flavour of Malta for further exploration.

    We were dropped off in...

    Mike_E, Sep 2026
    We were dropped off in various places (that we selected) and spent various amounts of time at each location. We texted when we were done and the van appeared within 2 minutes every time. Driver was friendly and knowledgable.

    A/C barely worked

    Amar_S, Aug 2026
    Our guide was friendly and kind, but hard to hear and provided limited information. Our main issue was that we booked an A/C van, but it barely worked. Malta is in a heatwave and we were hoping the van would be our refuge and be able to recharge, but instead we were hot the entire time so it ruined the experience.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Dear Mr Shah, I would like to thank you for your Review and apologize for the inconvenience caused. I am sorry about the Airconditioning in the van. However, as you stated Malta was suffering from a tremendous heatwave. The van provided was one of our newer vans and with a good airconiditoning sysem, however, during peak hours with humidity it can happen that the airconiditioning cannot keep up. These have been reacord breaking hot weeks in Malta!

    Think twice what you want-trust your gut

    Tad_C, Aug 2026
    We loved going to all the villages throughout Malta and learning about the history. Paul was a great source of information. Overall, it was a great experience. The only negative part was we told him we wanted to eat at a local mom and pop restaurant and have beef. He took us to his local family/friend restaurant which was mostly seafood. This was the worst service we had throughout our 4 week stay in Europe! The waitress seemed like we were a bother and never checked on us. The food was just ok. Disappointed.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Thank you for your Review! It's great that you had a wonderful time with Paul! I would like to sincerely apologize for the above situation. I am sure it was a misunderstanding from Paul's side as I am sure that he wished to take you to the best possible restaurant!
