Malta!! A must see!!

Louisa_Q, Sep 2024
Fabrizia was an amazing guide!! She made sure we saw all the historical sites in Valletta and Mdina!! Malta is beautiful and had no idea of all the history. Her passion for her country and beauty is making us want to plan a vacation to just Malta!! Hated to leave!!

Good guide but should have provided her with more direction

Cheryl_P, Sep 2024
There was a lot of history covered and lots of walking. In this port I think a boat excursion would have been more enjoyable for our group. Our guide was good but we should have given her more direction. The minibus was very nice.

Excellent Tour if You Like to Learn

Our guide and driver were fantastic. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we wished we could have spent the entire day with him. Our cruise stop was short in Malta so we were only able to see a little bit of Malta.

The vehicle was improper and it was too hot. Otherwise it could’ve been nice.

Medina. Was special, but it was too hot and humid to enjoy any of it. The vehicle was not right we had to sit with our luggage.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for your feedback which is appreciated. I am glad that you enjoyed Mdina. The transport provided was a 19 seater van for 4 persons including luggage. The usual luggage catered for is 1 large and 1 small bag per person. If you are travelling with more than 2 pieces per person (as was the case) then please advise us in advance so that we can send an appropriate vehicle.

AMAZING

AMAZING tour guide! On our two week vacation, best guide we’ve had so far. Malta was beautiful, can’t wait to come back…..

Best tour guide experience and most charming cities

Laura_M, Jun 2024
Our tour guide Valentina was amazing!! There were so many sights we wanted to see and she showed us everything and even allowed time for us to have a boat ride to the blue grotto and jump in to swim in the sea. She took us to Medina which was so charming and quaint. Valentina was extremely knowledgeable. Best tour and tour guide yet! And we have been on 6 different tours so far!

Great experience.

Darlene_D, Jun 2024
Walking through Mdina and the stories of the history and the area. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. I loved the Upper Barrakka, absolutely beautiful.

Wonderful Tour

Debbie_R, Jun 2024
This was our favorite place/tour on our Mediterranean cruise. Our guide Marabell was wonderful! She picked the best places for us to visit and she even arranged for us to get a boat ride in the Blue Grotto. It was incredible!

Wonderful custom highlights tour of Malta

Jenny was an excellent tour guide and our driver Mario took us from site to site safely and with the comfort of a minibus with AC. Jenny helped us customize a tour that included a picture my husbands father had from his tour here in the navy in the 60s and gardens that I would enjoy. She kept our boys engaged during the entire tour and we learned many things about the history of Malta and she had us wanting to plan another trip to see more of the sites!

Malta and Blue Grotto

Amazing Day in Malta

Gisela_S, Sep 2023
We did a fantastic private day tour on a cruise stop. Valentina made sure we saw everything we wanted to see and was incredibly knowledgeable. Malta is full of history and Valletta’s harbor and walled city is impressive!

Great Tour of Malta!

Kathryn_C, Sep 2023
Having never been to Malta, and knowing very little about Malta, we decided to book this tour with a licensed tour guide and driver. They both were excellent! Dane provided us a customized tour based on what are interest were, and he showed us his lovely country. Dana is extremely knowledgeable about Malta, and very interesting to talk to. Dane and his driver were very kind and attentive to our travel buddy who can’t walk long distances. Highly recommend this tour with Dane!

A Trip down memory lane.

Our family of 6 enjoyed our day with Francesca, our guide. My husband and I were married in Malta 47 years ago, so it was on our bucket list to visit the island we were married on. We visited Valletta on our own while we were waiting for our guide. Then we visited Mdina, Rabat, and took a boat ride to the Blue Grotto. We also stopped at the Dingli cliffs, but it was very cloudy that day. We also saw a beautiful view of the fort of St. Angelo. We had originally planned for a 4 hour tour, however the tour company recommended the 5-8 hour tour for our family since we wanted to visit so many sights. Our tour started later than we planned, so it ended up being just a four hour tour anyway due to our cruise ship’s departure time.

Beautiful country!

Walking through the streets and asking questions of our guide. Beautiful buildings, plants & scenery.

Thank you for your feedback which is appreciated.

Valletta and Medina were magnificent!

KJennifer_K, Sep 2022
We loved visiting Malta...wish we had booked a longer tour. Our driver Aron and our tour guide Maria were excellent. Maria was a host of information. Unfortunately we wasted too much time shopping for glass objects in Medina and the same store was in the port so we could have done it after the tour. The vehicle itself left a lot to be desired.

Great Experience

Jocelyn was great tour guide and she was able to provide us with a great day visiting the historical city of Valletta. She was also able to include a couple hours of beach time at the beach of Ghadira Bay.
