Highly recommend this tour. It was exactly what we wanted. Our driver was Bjorn and he was very accommodating to what stops we wanted to see. We were able to see everything we wanted including a boat ride at the blue grotto!
I had the good fortune of booking this tour, which gave me a wonderful sense of beautiful Malta. This was my first time in the country, and after spending, unfortunately, only a few hours there, I already want to come back and spend much more time exploring it. First, the pre-cruise communication with Chris via WhatsApp was excellent. He confirmed all the details of my tour, including the date, number of passengers, pick-up time, and location, and he also shared plenty of helpful recommendations about things to see and do. Tony was the driver for our tour, and it was an absolute pleasure spending the day with him. He took us to all the main sights in Malta that could reasonably fit into a shore excursion like ours. We spent about an hour and a half exploring Floriana and Valletta, including a visit to St. John’s Co-Cathedral (bought the tickets online the day before). We then visited the Three Cities and had about an hour to walk around Vittoriosa (so beautiful), followed by the Blue Grotto, where we took the boat tour and had lunch at a local restaurant (which was just okay). We also visited the Hagar Qim Temples and the Mdina Fortress. Tony’s van was impeccably clean and comfortable, and his driving made my family and me feel completely safe throughout the day. One thing I would like to clarify for future travelers is that Tony drove us to the various sites and explained things along the way, but he did not accompany us inside the attractions because he is not a licensed tour guide. I was aware of this when I booked the tour (the tour description makes this very clear), so it was not a problem for me. However, to fully enjoy this type of tour, you should be comfortable exploring the sites independently. At some stops, Tony would drop us off and meet us again shortly afterward, sometimes at the same location and sometimes just a few meters away. Would I book this tour again? Absolutely! And, if possible, I would definitely request Tony as the driver. Overall, it was well worth the price, a wonderful way to get a taste of Malta during a short shore excursion, and I highly recommend it.
The best way to see Malta with no worry! Our driver Gorg was AMAZING! He was prompt when picking us up, he educated us on all the sights we saw. Made sure we stayed cool by offering us cold water and always had the AC on to keep us cool after being outside on a very hot day. He was so kind and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. Chris communicated very well with us before the trip and it all went perfectly. 10/10 and a must do when you’re in Malta!
Thank you so much! I'm delighted everything went smoothly and that George took such great care of you throughout the day. I'll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to him. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Malta again someday! 😊
We misunderstood that this was only transportation, not a guided tour. We were dropped off in various locations, given a pick up time and were left on our own. Bottom line it was an expensive cab ride around Malta.
David was a great guide showing us the beauty of Malta. He was very knowledgeable and the love for his country shined through.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time with David. I'll be sure to share your kind words with him—he'll really appreciate them.😊
Didn’t get any information from our driver. He didn’t offer any introduction whatsoever and was a bit unfriendly. Vehicle was fine his English was poor.
Hello Nanos, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I'm sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. I'm especially sorry to hear that you felt the service was unfriendly. We always aim to make our guests feel welcome and comfortable throughout their visit. I would also like to clarify that our service is focused on private transportation rather than guided tours, although we always try to share local knowledge and recommendations whenever possible. I sincerely appreciate your comments, as they help us improve the experience we provide to future guests. Thank you once again, and I wish you all the very best.
We sailed on Celebrity Equinox - the Valletta cruise port is very simple and easy to navigate. We did the customizable private tour and it was perfect! Peter, our driver took us everywhere and added personal touches to help us understand the island. Malta is beautiful! Communications were wonderful from beginning to end. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review! I'm so pleased everything went smoothly from start to finish and that Peter helped make your visit to Malta so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on a future visit!
Outstanding guide! Spent hours driving the island. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Spent extra time focusing on my interests. Grew up there so his pride in his country showed.
Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the day and that your guide's passion for Malta came through. We're so glad we could make the tour personal to your interests. Hope to see you back in Malta one day! 😊
Great private tour. Chris was so communicative beforehand to ensure we had a great experience. Our driver, George, added a lot of great color about the country and was great about giving us options about what to see. A really great way to see as much of the country in one day (we were on a cruise) as possible.
I'm really pleased everything went smoothly from the planning stage through to the tour itself. I'll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to George. It was a pleasure helping you make the most of your day in Malta, and we hope to welcome you back again! 😊
George accommodated all our requests and we were able to see exactly what we wanted. The tour was absolutely worth it.
Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm delighted George was able to tailor the day around your wishes and help you see everything you wanted to experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Malta again someday! 😊
