Itinerary
Whatever time of year you happen to visit, a boat ride through these marvellous caves is a voyage you’re unlikely ever to forget. With phenomenally clear blue waters, resulting from its unique chemical composition of minerals, visibility within the caves is truly second to none. And if visited in sunny weather, colourful pink, orange, turquoise and green hotspots can be seen reflecting magically off the water onto the limestone walls of the caves. If viewed from the cliffs above, the caves appear framed by a majestic arch, and with unobstructed views of the island of Filfla, it is truly a sight to behold.
Often described as an open-air museum and a living piece of history, Valletta’s streets and sights will have you wandering around to marvel at all its beauty. The Baroque architecture adorns all corners of the small city, and there are plenty of historical buildings to admire. Though the city was built on a peninsula of only 1km by 600m, Europe’s southernmost capital is abundant in historical sights. UNESCO described Valletta as “one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world” when it named Valletta a World Heritage Site. You will find some of Europe’s finest artworks, churches and palaces in Valletta.
Marsaxlokk is a small, traditional fishing village in the South Eastern Region of Malta. It has a harbour, and is a tourist attraction known for its views, fishing and history. Being a thriving fishing town, it’s perhaps no surprise that Marsaxlokk is also the best place in Malta for fresh seafood. The village promenade, overlooking Marsaxlokk harbour, is lined with many popular restaurants.
Dingli cliffs are located on Malta’s western coast just off the picturesque village of Dingli. They offer panoramic coastal views and are 253 metres above sea level. The cliffs are known by locals for being the place where the sky and sea meet as it’s the highest point on the Maltese Islands. It offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, the petite terraced fields, and the tiny uninhabited island named Filfla. Walking along the cliffs you will notice a gorgeous little chapel, dedicated to St.Mary Magdalene that is located on the cliff's edge. If you hike long enough you will come across another breathtaking spot, the Blue Grotto. Experiencing the sunset against the blue sea is magical.
Mdina - Old Capital City - Behind its fortified walls, Mdina’s timeless beauty has been mesmerising nobilities throughout its 4,000 years of existence. With narrow, cobbled streets shrouded in an air of mystery, Mdina will snatch you away from the present and transport you back in time. Malta’s old Capital Mdina has been known under a range of different names based on its rulers and its role over a span of 4,000 years since it was founded. Embarking on this journey back in time, you will discover an astonishing mix of baroque and medieval architecture in its ever-winding streets, wonderfully adorned and preserved churches, majestic palaces and fortified walls that turn this silent city into an outdoor museum.
The town of Mosta is renowned for its massive rotunda church, having the third largest dome in the Christian world. The church was nearly destroyed in 1942 when a 200kg bomb fell through the dome without exploding. Miraculously, none of the 300 people attending mass inside were hurt and the bomb was successfully detonated. A replica of the bomb is on display inside the church.
Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua, known as the Three Cities of Malta, are pieces of living history kept alive by hundreds of years of preservation. These are communities with heart, where people know their neighbors built also enjoy welcoming visitors. Gardjola Gardens in Senglea's bastions offer spectacular views of the Grand Harbour, Fort St Angelo, built on the site of a castle and the Inquisitor’s Palace with restored rooms. The Birgu water-front is a wonderful spot to take time to enjoy a good meal and admire glamorous yachts.
The Megalithic Temples of Malta are prehistoric monumental buildings constructed during the 4th millennium BC. They rank amongst the earliest free-standing stone buildings in the world and are remarkable for their diversity of form and decoration. They are set majestically on a wide-open plain by the coast, close to the village of Qrendi these archaeological treasures were used for the worship of a fertility goddess. Such temples form past of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Justin was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. Both our tours were interesting and varied. Highly recommended.
Booked an 8 hour tour of Gozo, Justin arrived on time and the transportation was top notch. The tour was fantastic and I would highly recommend it. Justin was very knowledgeable regarding Gozo and friendly conversation was had throughout the tour. Nothing was too much trouble.
Justin is a very professional and knowledgeable driver. He is a true local. He can answer any question.
Thank you so much for the positive review. I am very glad that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure meeting you. Regards, Justin
Justin was fantastic! We had no expectations for Malta, and it ended up being our favorite destination on our cruise. Justin was very knowledgeable and took us to see a lot of the island in just one day. Would highly recommend booking with him, he made Malta one of the highlights of our whole trip!
Thank you so much for the positive review. I am very glad that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure meeting you all. Regards, Justin
My trip with Robert was amazing. He is the most kind and understanding tour guide that was from Malta so that made it extra special. He was an excellent driver. Took his time and I never felt hurried. He took me to all the amazing historical sites in Malta. I highly recommend their service to anyone traveling to Malta and I will be recommending to my friends

We had two excellent tour days with Justin. We initially just booked him to drive us on the Malta island tour, but then I asked him on WhatsApp whether he could take us to Gozo for the day also. Justin was prompt and the van was exceptionally clean and tidy and very comfortable. Much nicer than the bolt cars we hopped in once or twice during our visit. Its air conditioned and has separate controls for the back which he let us operate ourselves for comfort. We saw all the places our guide books suggested and some extra that Justin took us to and recommended what we could do/see there. He took us on the Gozo car ferry which had a lovely view of Comino and the Blue Lagoon. The highlight for us on Malta was the Blue Grotto boat trip (10€ each cash) and Pastizzi in Rabat which Justin took us to. Gozo is also amazing, and this tour made it hassle free. We had toyed with the idea of the fast ferry and the hop on/off bus, but what Justin’s tour gave us was a freedom to spend as much or as little time in each place that suited us. When we were done at each place, Justin was either directly outside waiting or we WhatsApp’d and he came immediately to where we were. Gozo’s highlights were the Citadel in Victoria and the Inland Sea boat ride. We had lunch at the cafe there and then the small boat trip for 5€ each (cash). Justin was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot from him as we were driving around. He answered all of our questions and pointed things out along the way but left us to explore each destination ourselves which was perfect. I wish there was a Justin on every holiday we took!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. I am very glad that you had a positive experience. It was a pleasure having you all on the tour and I truly enjoyed being your driver. I wish you all the best on your travels. Take care Justin

Perfect day with Justin. We spent four hours exploring Malta with Justin as our driver. It was easy to communicate with Justin via What's App before our tour. We met up with Justin outside the port gates and were off on our tour. Since our port time was very early, Justin arranged the tour in a way which made the most use of our time. He is not a licensed tour guide. But he should be. He provided information along the way to each stop and answered our questions about what we were seeing or about life in Malta. At each stop, Justin gave us time to explore on our own. We never felt rushed. Justin gave us an idea how much time to spend in order to see everything we wanted. He even made a stop at an ancient temple that neither of us knew about. Justin's rate was very reasonable. We saw so much more at a cheaper price than what others saw on the cruise ship excursion. Our tour was also private and longer than what the cruise ship offered. Do yourself a favor and book with Justin. We highly recommend his services for a tour in Valetta, Malta.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure showing you around, and I’m very happy you enjoyed the tour and the comfort of the minivan service. Your kind words truly mean a lot. I hope to welcome you again in the future. Regards, Justin
Justin gave us a great tour of the island. He took us to every place we wanted to and a couple of places we didn’t know we wanted to see. He made the day so easy for us, we didn’t have to worry about driving or parking in an unfamiliar place. He shared what life is like in Malta and it’s rich history. We would highly recommend this experience.
