Our guide Chris was brilliant. He provided a list of recommended places to visit and was adaptable to what we like to visit. He was on time and everything was super easy with him. Chris is friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our time with Chris and would highly recommend him! Thanks Chris
Chris was absolutely incredible and truly went above and beyond to make our day in Malta unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was so welcoming, kind, patient, and accommodating. You can immediately tell how much he loves Malta and how proud he is to share it with people.
He knew all of the hidden gems, little roads, beautiful viewpoints, and places that we never would have found on our own. He navigated those incredibly narrow Maltese roads like it was nothing and always seemed to know exactly where to take us for the best views, the best photo opportunities, and the best places to eat. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but also made everything feel fun and relaxed rather than like we were simply being given a history lesson.
One of the highlights was visiting St. John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta. The church itself is absolutely breathtaking, with its incredible Baroque interior and so much history and artwork to take in. Chris made sure we got to experience it and so many other special parts of Malta that we would have completely missed without him.
What really stood out to us, though, was how much Chris genuinely went above and beyond. He was so generous with his time and never made us feel rushed. He went well beyond the time we had originally agreed upon without hesitation, simply because he wanted us to have the best experience possible. That kind of care and hospitality is something you don’t forget.
Chris wasn’t just our guide for the day — he became part of the memories we made in Malta. He made us feel like we were being shown around by a friend who knew every secret corner of the island. We laughed so much, saw so many incredible places, ate amazing food, and made memories that we’ll be talking about for years.
If you are visiting Malta, I cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He was seriously the BEST. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and for making our day in Malta so incredibly special. 🇲🇹❤️
Chris is excellent and allows you to create your own tour. He lets you wander or you can dig into historical detail as much as you like. We saw Malta from many perspectives and locations. All were exceptional and flowed well with our day. Thanks Chris you are awesome!!!!!
Chris is a wonderful guide and driver and guide. He knows the places to go and is amenable to whatever sites you want to see.
Chris was an excellent host and guide! We learned about Malta and saw many things we would not have been able to on our own. We booked this as a shore excursion.
Chris was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he communicated with us ahead of time to confirm our timing and make sure our itinerary was customized to what we wanted to see and do. He also provided wonderful recommendations that made our experience even better.
Chris was ready and waiting to meet us as soon as we got off the ship, and from that moment on, the entire day was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience in Malta.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Chris to anyone visiting Malta. He helped make our visit truly memorable!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the review! It was a pleasure to have you us my client. Hope to see you soon if you visit Malta again. Have a nice day!
Communicated with driver / guide in advance and agreed tour - mostly on his recommendation. Chris was warm, knowledgeable, easy going and explained much about the island, its history and the places we wanted to see. Recommend this if you have limited time and want to see the different sides of the island and its storied history, along with many movie shoots. Great day
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! It was a real pleasure showing you around the island and sharing its history and hidden gems. Wishing you safe travels, and I hope to welcome you back someday! 😊
Chris was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and made everything so easy. He explained the history, culture, and sights so well, and his knowledge really made the experience even more enjoyable.
He was also so patient with our group and made sure we never felt rushed. Chris showed us all around the main island of Malta, taking us to beautiful spots while sharing interesting stories and local insights along the way. One of the highlights was that he introduced us to some delicious Maltese goodies that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own!
We had such a fantastic experience, and Chris truly went above and beyond to make our day memorable. We would absolutely book another tour with him and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Malta!
Response from Host, Sep 2026

We had such a wonderful experience exploring Malta and its breathtaking cities. Chris was a wealth of knowledge when it came to sharing the history and rich culture of Malta and its people. The tour was smooth, relaxing and we loved that we were able to customize it accordingly to our interests. When we weren't sure, Chris was able to suggest some wonderful places that met our taste and needs. We never felt rushed and had such wonderful conversations among ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to spend a day learning and exploring all of the wonderful things Malta has to offer.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and sharing Malta's history and culture. I'm delighted you enjoyed the personalized tour, and I truly appreciate your recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to Malta someday!
Our personalized tour of Malta was one of the highlights of our trip! Chris, our tour guide, was incredibly flexible and patient as we worked through the itinerary several times to make sure it was perfect for our group of cousins and spouses, especially meaningful since our parents were born in Malta.
Throughout the day, Chris shared amazing historical information and stories that made every stop even more special. We visited beautiful places including Dingli Cliffs, Attard, Mdina, Rabat, Ħaġar Qim, and Blue Grotto, along with a wonderful lunch stop.
One of our favorite parts was stopping in Rabat for the best pastizzi we had during our stay, along with trying delicious Qaġħaq tal-Għasel. Chris also took us for authentic Maltese coffee at Dingli Cliffs, which made for such a memorable experience with incredible views.
This tour was the perfect combination of history, culture, food, and personal connection to Malta. Chris truly made the day unforgettable, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a meaningful and authentic Maltese experience!

The best possible way to see Malta , Our driver Chris was very knowledgeable and was also very accommodating. Not rushed

It means a lot to know you appreciated the local insights and recommendations. It was a pleasure showing you around, and I’m glad you had a great time 🚘💙
A full day in Malta with Chris was fantastic - Chris is so knowledgeable and knew his history. And, he was so pleasant to be around, and the car he provided was pristine. He exceeded our expectations for a perfect day touring Malta!
Response from Host, May 2026

It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m glad the experience felt comfortable and exceeded your expectations. Really appreciate your kind words about everything 🚘
Chris was amazing. He tailored our tour to our specific requests and was extremely knowledgeable. His lunch recommendation was also spot on as the food was amazing.

Thank you so much! 😊 I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and that everything was tailored just right for you. It’s great to hear you loved the lunch spot too—always happy to share good food recommendations! 🍽️✨ Hope to see you again for another adventure in Malta.
Bespoke day tour designed around what we wanted to do. Driver contacted us before the day and suggested an itinerary and adapted it to what we wanted. Picked us up from the airport and dropped us back there. Saw loads within a short time that we never would have on our own, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. 100% would recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! 😊 I’m really glad you enjoyed the bespoke tour and that the itinerary worked perfectly for you. It was a pleasure helping you make the most out of your time and showing you places you might not have discovered on your own. 🚗✨ Appreciate the recommendation—it truly means a lot! Hope to see you again someday 🙌
Chris is very nice and polite, his knowledge of Malta is extensive even though he said that he was not a tour guide, he explained to us the history of every place that we visited. If you know where to go, you can arrange the itinerary yourself, or if it's your first time in Malta like us, you ask him to suggest an itinerary for you. But we could add places that we wanted to see. For example we wanted to see Hagar Qim and Chris squeezed that into the itinerary so the trip went very smoothly.
You can also ask him everything from the impact of west Asia war to ancient history of Malta, which is stretching from 3000 BC. He always has a good knowledge of all about Malta.
There are so much things to see in Malta, and our time was not enough, so he generously extended our trip so it could cover what we would like to see. He also took very nice pictures of our group. He knows the best spot to take nice pictures. So that we have a good memory of Malta. Thank you Chris!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It really means a lot. I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Malta and that I could help make your trip smooth and memorable. It was a pleasure showing you around and sharing the history (and squeezing in Hagar Qim! 😉). Hope those photos bring back great memories 📸✨ You’re always welcome back anytime—there’s still so much more to see!
Chris was an excellent driver and guide. He showed us all around Malta, stopping at several places. He was friendly and professional. We had a few people with mobility issues and he helped them safely in and out of the car. I highly recommend booking with Chris.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It was truly a pleasure showing you around Malta and making sure everyone was comfortable and safe along the way. I’m really glad you enjoyed the experience! 🚗✨ Hope to see you again for another adventure soon! 🙌
Chris was absolutely wonderful. He reached out before the tour to ask us our interests and structured the tour around them. He even made a short stop at a grocery store at the end of the day at my request. His knowledge of Maltese history was excellent and he answered all (or at least most) of my million questions. I would call it an absolutely perfect day.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It was a real pleasure showing you around and I’m glad you enjoyed the day (and all the questions! 😉). Hope to see you again sometime! 🌟
We booked a full-day tour with Chris and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Over six hours, he took us to an impressive range of sites: the Three Cities, Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto, Ħaġar Qim, the Dingli Cliffs, and the Mosta Rotunda. We'd already spent two days exploring Mdina on our own, so Chris cheerfully adjusted the itinerary without any fuss — exactly the kind of flexibility that makes a tour feel personal rather than packaged.
Chris is warm, easy to talk to, and genuinely knowledgeable about Malta's history and culture. He introduced us to Maltese coffee and pastizzi, which was a lovely touch and felt like a real glimpse into local life. He was generous with time at every stop — we never once felt rushed.
The vehicle was comfortable and spotless, and Chris's driving was smooth and confident throughout. We felt safe and well looked after from start to finish.
If you want to cover a lot of ground in a single day without sacrificing the experience, Chris is your person. We'd recommend him without hesitation — highly, highly.

I am truly delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your full-day tour and that the flexibility, personal touches, and overall experience made it so special and memorable.
Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to me. I hope to welcome you again in the future! 🌟
My husband and I had a fantastic day trip exploring some of Malta’s most beautiful and interesting locations thanks to Chris. Chris was incredibly friendly, very flexible, and worked with us to shape the perfect itinerary based on what we wanted to see. His deep knowledge of Malta and its history added so much richness to each stop, making the experience even more meaningful. Chris’ easy‑going personality made the day relaxed and enjoyable, and he was genuinely easy to talk to throughout. We also appreciated the thoughtful recommendations he shared for places to explore beyond the tour itself. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking an exceptional experience in Malta. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

We had such a great time visiting so many places in Malta. From the 3 cities to Mdina and even the cliffs. Everything was breathtakingly beautiful! Chris was a fantastic guide being he’s family lineage goes back generations in Malta. He even gave us recommendations for what to do and where to go on for the rest of our time here. Thank you for a memorable tour!

It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and sharing a bit of our island’s history and hidden gems. I’m so glad I could help make your trip memorable. Enjoy the rest of your time in Malta!✨😊
The fact that Chris has 128 previous reviews with 5 stars says it all. What more can we add? He is the perfect guide who just knows how to give you the best experience from the pre tour communication, the flexibility on the day to the knowledge about the places you choose to visit. He doesn’t overwhelm you with facts but enough to get a real flavour of his country. His family dates back to 1500s….
Chris stopped on the way and spontaneously bought us local strawberries and local warm. date pastries. What a nice touch. We didn’t stop for lunch, just a quick pastrizzi, too much to see and do. Totally recommend.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible review! It truly means a lot to me. I’m really happy you enjoyed the day and the little local treats along the way—sometimes those spontaneous moments make the experience even more special. It was a real pleasure showing you around and sharing a bit of our island’s story with you. Hope our paths cross again one day!😊
Chris was brilliant. We wouldn't have been able to see everything we did without him knowing where to go. It took the stress out of the day. Chris was a fountain of knowledge, with a really lovely manner. He planned the days itinerary for us and suggested a lunch stop which he booked for us. Honestly a really great day and I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris. He will tailor the day to your records.mendations.

It was a pleasure planning the day with you, and I hope the memories from the trip stay with you for a long time. Hope to see you again on another adventure! 😊🚐
I cannot speak highly enough about our experience on this tour with our guide Chris! Before we even met, he was incredible responsive and proactive at planning our tour to make sure we had a great day. He picked us up from our accommodation and quickly jumped into explaining about Malta history, culture and more about our schedule for the day. He made sure we had time in each location to really take in the area and he was also patient when I was falling behind to take pictures. He was incredibly friendly and made our day so much better. We visited places on this tour that we wouldn’t have even thought to go on our own. We saw so much in just 5 hours and felt like we made a friend along the way. For those visiting for the first time, I highly recommend booking this tour and customizing it to maximize your time in Malta!! I can’t imagine a better way that we could have spent our day.

This was honestly the best tour we’ve ever had! Chris was amazing from start to finish — super friendly, patient, and really attentive to everything we asked for. We had a few specific places we wanted to visit, and he made it all happen without ever making us feel rushed.
He shared a lot of interesting stories and local tips along the way, which made the experience even better. And when we mentioned we wanted to grab lunch, he suggested this great little restaurant near the Blue Grotto — it was absolutely perfect!
You can really tell Chris loves what he does. He made the whole day fun, easy, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Totally worth it — I’d recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
