Our 6-hour tour was a fantastic way to see many of the sites in Malta we had not during our stay on the island. Since my wife and I stayed for two weeks, we had already explored much of Valletta, as well as Mdina, Rabat, and the Three Cities. Therefore, we explained to our guide, Darren, that we'd like to go to areas of the island that were both away from Valletta (our home base) and that allowed us to experience places that were easier to get to with a private car and guide. Darren was able to help us meet all of our goals for this trip! We visited the town of Marsaxlokk, the archeological sites of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, the cave, museum, and paleontological site of Għar Dalam, the Dingli Cliffs, the Mosta Dome, and our personal favorite, the Blue Grotto. Darren was able to get us to all of these places, orient us to each location, and give us ample time to explore and take everything in. Not having a car during our stay, this private tour with a wonderful guide allowed us to see so many places on our list with ease and comfort!
I'm delighted Darren helped make the most of your time in Malta and created an itinerary that matched exactly what you were looking for. I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to him. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again someday!
Communicated with driver / guide in advance and agreed tour - mostly on his recommendation. Chris was warm, knowledgeable, easy going and explained much about the island, its history and the places we wanted to see. Recommend this if you have limited time and want to see the different sides of the island and its storied history, along with many movie shoots. Great day
Thank you! It was a real pleasure showing you around the island and sharing its history and hidden gems. Wishing you safe travels, and I hope to welcome you back someday! 😊
Chris was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and made everything so easy. He explained the history, culture, and sights so well, and his knowledge really made the experience even more enjoyable. He was also so patient with our group and made sure we never felt rushed. Chris showed us all around the main island of Malta, taking us to beautiful spots while sharing interesting stories and local insights along the way. One of the highlights was that he introduced us to some delicious Maltese goodies that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own! We had such a fantastic experience, and Chris truly went above and beyond to make our day memorable. We would absolutely book another tour with him and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Malta!

We absolutely loved our full day tour of Malta with Chris! Chris was easy to communicate with prior to our arrival, made great suggestions for what should be on our itinerary, and even made a perfect suggestion for a delicious and relaxing lunch stop! Chris made sure we had ample time to see the sights of Malta, and made suggestions for adjustments to our itinerary to ensure we could get the most out of our day. We had a great variety of sightseeing experiences throughout our day including visiting Mdina, the Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk and the Hagar Qim temples. We really appreciated what a safe and patient driver Chris was as he negotiated tight and crowded streets around Malta with ease. We would recommend booking a day with Chris to anyone looking to make the most of a trip to see this beautiful island!

Our personalized tour of Malta was one of the highlights of our trip! Chris, our tour guide, was incredibly flexible and patient as we worked through the itinerary several times to make sure it was perfect for our group of cousins and spouses, especially meaningful since our parents were born in Malta. Throughout the day, Chris shared amazing historical information and stories that made every stop even more special. We visited beautiful places including Dingli Cliffs, Attard, Mdina, Rabat, Ħaġar Qim, and Blue Grotto, along with a wonderful lunch stop. One of our favorite parts was stopping in Rabat for the best pastizzi we had during our stay, along with trying delicious Qaġħaq tal-Għasel. Chris also took us for authentic Maltese coffee at Dingli Cliffs, which made for such a memorable experience with incredible views. This tour was the perfect combination of history, culture, food, and personal connection to Malta. Chris truly made the day unforgettable, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a meaningful and authentic Maltese experience!
