Unfortunately I can't remember the name of our driver or tour guide, but both were AMAZING! Driver was super professional, kind and safe. Malta received an unusual rain storm during our return to the cruise ship and our driver did everything in his power to get us as close to the ship as possible. As for our guide, she was fantastic. Very informative, well spoken, kind and patient with our group that tends to wonder into shops and bars when walking around as a group. Would recommend this tour over and over again. Malta is beautiful! Thank you.

Malta is a special place for our trip, as some of friends spent several years there as children. We wanted to revisit places that were important from their past, as well as more famous sites such as the Blue Grotto, the ancient fortress at Medina, and Valletta. Albert, our guide, was full of helpful information and advice, and even helped one of our group members find a replacement phone for the one she had lost in Athens. He was waiting for us at the disembarkation point, and walked us all the way back to the ship when it came time to leave. All of his tips for enjoying the trip turned out to be exactly what we needed.

There were 3 couples in our group. We had a fabulous time with our tour guide, Julia. Julia learned at the last minute that our scheduled guide had a family emergency. She graciously changed her plans and met us. She could not have shown us a better tour. She was very knowledgeable about the history and locations. Julia and her boss went above and beyond to make up for our wait, by buying us drinks and a local dish called a pastizz. They were delicious!
Malta is a fascinating country with rich history and culture. I highly recommend Malta and Julia! We hope to return.

Our tour guide, Charmaine, was fantastic. She knew so much about the history and culture and was so accommodating to any requests or questions.
Half of our group wanted a full tour and the other half wanted to spend some time at the beach. Charmaine made both groups experiences memorable. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Hi Ashley,
nice to hear that you had a good time with Charmaine. And I am happy that it worked out to split the group, hopefully we can welcome you in the future again in Malta.

We walked through the ancient city of Medina and learned about its history. After that we drove to the cliffs and had a beautiful view. Then we drove into Valletta and learned more about the Great Siege as well as the siege during WWII. Our last stop was at St. Elmo’s fortress. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour interesting for all of us.

Our family loved this private tour. You can customize it but we wanted to see the west part of the island (temples) and M'dina. It was perfect. The guide was extremely knowleadgeable and the driver very nice and helpful. This is a great way to see the most of the island if you only have limited time. I would highly recommend it, especially for families.

We had a fantastic time in Malta with Julia as our guide and Sylvia as our driver. Julia was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. She adjusted the day to our desires and was very accommodating. Sylvia was a great driver and very attentive to our comfort. In all a perfect day! Thanks Julia!

Flore was friendly and knowledgeable and very clearly loves Malta and its history. She answered all 752 questions we asked. She even had the driver get us some amazing pastizzi because we hadn't had any yet.
ANTONIO_C, Sep 2019
We enjoyed our tour of Malta. Our tour guide was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable of all places we visited. He seems to be focused on our comfort and satisfaction of quest to know more about Malta. He is very friendly and accommodating. I would have him again in our next visit.

Our guide, Miriam, was knowledgeable and very personable. We had a wonderful day as she took us to the blue grotto, Marsaxlokk fishing village and the walled city of Mdina (the first 'King's Landing'. We ended the tour in the town of Valetta. We couldn't have asked for a better day, or guide!

Family of four had a great time visiting Malta and adjacent cities, a market, seaside and the stunning Blue Grotto with private guide (the owner of the tour company) in a comfortable SUV. Sorry to our best of the best tour guide, I forgot your name. You really loved this city. You showed us great view points to take beautiful pictures of the cities. Always beat the big bus to important tour attractions, such as the Blue Grotto, so we need not wait in long lines. Even bought us the most delicious fresh made snack at place that no tourist can find. We felt that we were not in 'tourist trap'. Thank you!
Response from Host, Jul 2019

Yep the title is a little over the top I agree. We loved our half day tour with Nick as our guide and Clint as our efficient driver. Malta was jaw dropping scenery from our first approach on our cruise ship. Nick was personable, knowledgeable and tailored our morning to our tastes. We felt as if we were traveling with friends who just happened to live in Malta. All the recommendations (including lunch) were spot on for us. I love personal histories, family experiences and may be a bit nosy to ask about the guides families lives as we travel. Nick helped us understand today's Malta, the WWII hardships that have shaped the island as well as what the future holds. I felt so honored to hear the memories of Nick's family on Malta. We were met on time, chauffeured in a spotless car, helped to see the obvious sites as well as the hidden gems. Thank you for arranging what may be our favorite day out EVER on a tour.
