Kenneth was knowledgeable and drove us to locations that weren't heavily impacted by traffic, so that it wouldn't cut into our tour. We both enjoyed the experience and the fact that there weren't too many people waiting in line when we arrived at each destination. Would highly recommend Kenneth.

Chris is a very chill, safe driver who happily engaged when we had questions but was also comfortable with quiet. We felt like his #1 priority during the tour. We had an agenda, but he made a few recommendations (some excellent coffee) that we are grateful for.

Alex gave us a wonderful tour of Malta. He was very informative and maximized the time we had allocated before we had to board our cruise ship.

A wonderful private tour of the highlights of Malta

Anat_G, Nov 2025
A wonderful private tour of Malta with our incredibly knowledgeable guide John. Thank you John for a wonderful tour of your beautiful island. It was a whirlwind tour of the highlights of the island that certainly gave us a true taste of the beauty of Malta.

This was a wonderful trip with Kenneth. He took us to so many places. He asked us what were the most important places we wanted to see. We left it up to him to take us to the places he thought were the best. We went to Mdina, he took us to a glass blowing factory and a ceramic factory, we went to the Blue Grotto, the cliffs, around the farming area and by the RAF air landing strip. He then took us into Valletta to walk around on our own. He was a great tour guide and was so knowledgeable about the country. We highly recommend this excursion with Kenneth.

Thank you Alex our driver and tour guide

Joanne_S, Nov 2025
It was half the price of what I would have paid on my ship And he was absolutely wonderful his name was Alex and I want to thank him personally again he brought us on a 4-hour tour and saw 6 hours worth of history and beauty thank you Alex

Local driver, but not a tour per se

Mary_J, Nov 2025
We met our driver at the cruise port (after a little bit of confusion) and he took us to all the main points of interest around Malta (eg Mdina, blue grotto, etc.) Keep in mind if you book this tour, the driver is not a tour guide. They have some local knowledge but don't expect a tour with guided talks and details. He drops you off at each location and waits for you. He was very flexible giving us options for what we wanted to do and see but we relied on his local knowledge for the most part. We saw a lot of Malta in the 4 hours we had with Neal.

Amazing experience

Peter_P, Oct 2025

Kathleen_K, Sep 2025
It was not what we expected. We were hoping for a bit of history on the tour. It was more like a private cab ride around the island.

A Dai on Malta

Clark_B, Sep 2025
Duncan made our visit to Malta a wonderful experience - He was pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the craft village where we enjoyed artisans making beautiful silver filagree and glass. Mdina was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed a boat tour of the Blue Grotto.

3 hour tour of Malta

Our driver Duncan was excellent. My psohas mobility problems but Duncan saw to it that in every aspect of the tour this was catered for. Would highly recommend Duncan

Our Kevin driver was THE BEST!

Mari_G, Aug 2025
I booked this last minute and was afraid that on a Sunday morning I was going to get no one to take us around town. Not only did we get someone, but our driver Kevin arrived in the nicest and coolest Beemer. He took us around Valletta and all the three cities, to the fish market, Mdina and L-Rabat. He dropped us at the Fort of St. Angelo and we bought tickets and toured inside extensively. He gave us valuable info of the different places we toured and all in the quietest, most elegant ride ever. What a wonderful surprise! This was also an amazing value. I can’t recommend this enough!!! Thank you, Kevin!! 🙏🏼

Super relaxing tour

Ravi_R, Aug 2025
Kevin was very polite and helpful and showed more and less of what we liked and not. Highly recommend him.

Tour guide Duncan - excellent

Kay_C, Aug 2025
Duncan was very knowledgeable about history, local culture, well spoken. Highly recommend him. His suggestions were welcomed and never disappointing.
