We had a wonderful day exploring Gozo with a guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the island's history, geology, and culture. Pick-up and drop-off at the Hilton Malta was smooth and punctual.
What made this tour stand out was that we didn't just see the typical tourist stops — our guide took us to a real mix of well-known and lesser-visited sites. Highlights included:
Xerri's Grotto – a fascinating cave discovered beneath a family's home, accessed down through what was originally a well
The Salt Pans near Marsalforn/Xwejni – beautiful and unique to see up close
The Ġgantija Temples – incredible ancient megalithic ruins, among the oldest free-standing structures in the world
Calypso's Cave – tied to the Odyssey legend, with sweeping views over Ramla Bay
Ta' Pinu Basilica – a peaceful and beautifully built chapel
We also stopped for lunch in Victoria (Rabat) at a great local spot our guide recommended — much better than a typical tourist restaurant.
Inclusions were generous: airport/departure tax, parking fees, and bottled water were all covered, which was a nice touch and meant no surprise costs during the day.
One tip for future travellers: don't book this tour in August if you can help it — it was extremely hot, and a cooler month would make the walking portions much more comfortable.
Overall, a fantastic, well-organised private tour with a guide who clearly loves sharing Gozo beyond the postcard spots. Highly recommend.
This is a great tour to see all of Gozo in one day. While the day is long you stop at many fantastic sights along the way. There are things we saw, that had we travelled alone, we would have missed. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and suggested a great spot for lunch away from the main tourist area. It is a full day trip but run at your pace so you are not left exhausted by the end. Looking at our itinerary we covered all the places of interest and being on a private tour meant you had greater flexibility.
Our guide, Michael, was very accommodating, gracious and very patient while my wife took dozens of photographs. He gave a great tour of Gozo and explained the significance of all the sights.
This was so much bang for your buck. I can’t imagine anything more comprehensive. Our driver Michel was knowledgeable and witty and showed us places on Gozo we never would have found in our own. By the end of the day we had run out of adjectives and just stuck to “wow” and “amazing.” What a beautiful island. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a complete Experience. We finished the day tired and fulfilled and feeling like we had checked all the boxes on Gozo. The privacy and ability to be on our our schedule was an added bonus. Then end of day sunset on the ferry ride home was the icing on the cake
This is an excellent trip! Michael, or driver/guide was outstanding. He gave us wonderful information and made the history come alive for us! There was lots of traffic in Malta, getting to/from the ferry, and in Gozo, so we had to adjust the schedule somewhat. And we included a lunch stop. We had a great overview of the island and saw the major sights on the island. We loved the cathedrals, the Citadel, the National Shrines. The Archaeological Park, the grotto and the caves were also worth a visit. We would definitely recommend this tour and Michael is great! It’s a long day, so just be prepared for lots of walking and lots of stops.
lovely day out - very knowledgeable and friendly guide. managed to squeeze in a boat trip too. Spent as long or as little time at each stop as we wanted. - thoroughly recommended
We spent a wonderful day with Michael as our guide to Gozo. As I told him, he showed us everything we wanted to see, and things we didn't even realize we wanted to see! He is very knowledgeable about the area and it's amazing history. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again.
Michael was a wonderful guide and showed us many places on Gozo that we would had missed of we had been on our own. And he shared the history of Gozo and its significance. Timely pickup at our hotel.
Michael was an excellent tour guide. He knows his way around both islands since he grew up here. He took us to every site we wanted to see on gozo and some hidden gems as well. Great stories, it was a very pleasant laid back day. Highly recommend.
Our driver and guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and showed us all the sites in Gozo. He’s a great photographer too, which was a definite perk! Great tour! Must do!
.Michael our friendly guide and driver for the day was excellent. He gave us lots of information about the history both of Malta and Gozo. My wife and I thoroughly recommend this trip.. It includes an excellent selection of the different sights and aspects of Gozo
Michael was great. This tour was worth the time and the money. Micheal is pleasant and very knowledgeable of Malta's history. We really enjoyed visiting Gozo.
Thank you Michael.
We enjoyed seeing all of Gozo in a day and had many experiences there. The ferry line to Gozo was quite long, as was the return so we ended up spending about four hours of travel time, which made for a long day. While Gozo was worth the effort, I wish we had headed there earlier.
Michael was an excellent guide, he show all the best attractions in Gozo letting us time to enjoy each place
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks for your amazing comment, it was really nice to work with you. Wish you the best.
Be patient with the Gozo traffic, it's pretty full. For those who like churches, it's good. Could include the other archaeological site on the island on the route.
