    Great overview of the areas visited. First rate guide, vehicle and driver.

    Joyce_M, Oct 2026
    Carl was a wonderful guide. We had a lot of wonderful info and he was funny to boot. You get a good feel for the areas visited although much more time could be spent once you know what you want to focus on. Vehicle Was first rate. The only improvement I would suggest is a microphone and headsets.

    Great day out and really good value

    Karl was an excellent guide- knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and good company. We covered a lot of things but didn't feel rushed at all. The lunch was good as well and included wine. Highly recommended

    Wonderful to see some highlights of Malta, but special shout out to Karl who is a fab tour guide and a wonderful person!

    A wonderful tour!

    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Communication from the company prior to pickup was excellent. They were extremely responsive to messages, the pickup was punctual, and the transport was very comfortable. A special thank you to Alfred, our driver for the day, who ensured we travelled safely between locations and always made sure we were comfortable as there was a severe heatwave that day. This was a small-group tour, and there were only five participants in total on the day, including ourselves, which gave the experience a much more personal and almost private feel. We were able to visit many of Malta's key sights, and our guide, Karl, was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and we learned so much about the history and culture of Malta throughout the day. The included lunch was also generous and delicious. We enjoyed a traditional Maltese three-course meal, with a choice of two options for both the starter and main course, accompanied by wine. Overall, this was the best tour we experienced during our time in Malta, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island.

    See outside of Valletta

    KATRINA_R, Jul 2026
    This was a really awesome experience. I ended up in a small group, which meant we could use a small van and wind through small streets easily. For a single day to explore outside Valletta, I would say this hit everything. And if you have any chance, DO the Blue Grotto. Bring 10 euro cash. Sit on the left side of the boat for the best pictures. Our guide, Christian, who is a native, gave us all sorts of information, and knew so many people as we wandered the streets. More like when you show visiting family your town than an impersonal guide. The lunch was also outstanding, highly recommend all the authentic Maltese options (although french fries with rabbit being authentic still seems odd...) Rabat and Mdina were both interesting historically. Personally I preferred the Grotto/catacombs/WWII shelters in Rabat. So much history in one location. While not part of this tour, I learned Valletta would be having a religious festival and procession of an icon that evening, and so I went out and saw that too. I would never had known without his knowledge though.

    Great guide and wonderful sites to see

    Brandon_F, Apr 2026
    Great tour and wonderful guide. Christian was very knowledgeable and made sure he gave us all the historical and cultural information about each site. Due to bad weather we were not able to board a boat to see the lagoon up close but that is not the tours fault. Be prepared to walk a bit in some places. The lunch was ok, you had a choice between Maltese charcuterie board and pasta with Maltese sausage for appetizer, and for the mains it was between rabbit and fish. We went during Holy Week so the churches were preparing for festivities, which were really cool!

    Chris was my guide. He...

    Chris was my guide. He had lived there all his life, been a big part of local events and he brought things from the past to life at every turn. He was incredible! I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
