Private Tour - A Monumental Maltese Experience

From beginning to end our guide Christopher went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience. I’ve taken many tours around the world and this one is truly one of the best, highly recommend.

If you want to get a true appreciation of Malta, culturally and historically, the Island Traveller private tour with Christopher is a must! Given the time that we had, he managed to drive us through the narrow and winding streets of the three Cities, up to the Blue Grotto, onto the Hagr Qim Temples and finishing off in Rabat.. Most importantly, he knew where to buy the best Maltese Pastizzi's on the Island for lunch! A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Grazzi kbira, Robert & Michele V.

We had a fantastic day discovering Malta’s ancient wonders, beautiful coastline and charming towns with our private driver. Our tour took us to the Tarxien Temples, Marsaxlokk, Ħaġar Qim, the Blue Grotto, Dingli Cliffs, Rabat and the St. Paul’s Catacombs, ending our day in beautiful Mdina. Visiting Mdina later in the day was especially lovely – peaceful, atmospheric and a perfect ending to the tour. For us, one of the biggest advantages of this tour was how completely stress-free it was. Malta drives on the left, and instead of having to concentrate on unfamiliar roads, traffic, parking and finding our way around, we could simply relax and enjoy the scenery and the experience. Our driver made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the whole day. He was wonderful: very friendly, knowledgeable, patient and attentive. Whenever we had questions about Malta, its history, culture or things we noticed along the way, he was always happy to answer and explain. His explanations were interesting and informative without being too long or overwhelming. He also made sure we knew where to go at each site, so everything felt very easy and well organised. He arrived on time, the car was beautiful, spacious and very comfortable, with air conditioning, and bottled water was provided throughout the day – very welcome in the Maltese summer heat! We also really appreciated his local recommendations. At the Blue Grotto, he recommended a lovely restaurant where we could have something to eat on the upper terrace with a beautiful sea view. What made the day extra special were the little spontaneous moments. After talking about local food, he stopped to get us pastizzi to try – one with ricotta and another with a traditional pea filling. At Dingli Cliffs, after we had been talking about prickly pears, he bought us some freshly peeled ones from a roadside stall. He even stopped along the way to show us where capers grow. These little touches made the experience feel much more personal and gave us a real taste of Malta. Another thing we really liked was the flexibility. There is an itinerary, but we could adapt the day to our own interests, energy and pace. There were additional things we could have done, such as visiting the nearby Mnajdra Temples or taking the boat trip at the Blue Grotto, but there was no pressure to do everything. We could simply choose what suited us and enjoy the day at our own pace. Some entrance fees and optional activities are paid separately, which is useful to know when planning your day. A beautiful, comfortable and truly stress-free way to discover so many different sides of Malta in one day. We could just sit back, enjoy Malta and let someone else take care of the driving and organisation. We really enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend this tour!

We had an amazing private day tour around Malta in July. Christopher was fantastic. He was enthusiastic and gave us so much information on Malta and all the various sites we visited. He tailored our tour to the sites we wanted to visit. There is no way we could have covered everything without doing a tour like this. He added in a few spots we hadn't thought of. Highlights were Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, Mosta Church, the Three Cities, and the pirate museum at St Thomas tower. The cart ruts were fascinating and the view from the Dingli Cliffs was gorgeous. Pickup and dropoff from Rabat was easy. Thank you Christopher. This tour was a highlight of our trip. We would highly recommend booking.

I can only add my two cents to all the other satisfied travellers. The service, the knowledge, the flexibility were simply excellent - and very friendly. We were picked up at the cruise port terminal, a misunderstanding concerning luggage was swiftly and efficiently resolved at no cost to us, the tour was great, the lunch restaurant suggested likewise. Warmly recommended.

Christopher was our guide and was absolutely wonderful. Very professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole day seamless. I traveled with my wife and two teenagers and can highly recommend Christopher. Malta was an amazing island to visit with so much to see and I will be back. Thank you Christopher for an incredible day!

The trip is very flexible and you can tailor it to how much you want to do and how long you want to spend at each stop. Our driver and guide, Mark, was fabulous. Knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. We were travelling with elderly parents and he couldn’t have been more thoughtful or helpful. The itinerary was great - there is loads to explore and we really enjoyed it.

Mark was a great quide. Local knowledge and very helpful/friendly. Perfect way to see Malta highlights in a comfortable and relaxed way without my 79 year old mother getting too tired. Would 100% recommend!

I opted for the prehistoric tour, hoping to see as many archaeological sites as possible, and Christopher made it happen. He was polite, professional and knowledgable going above and beyond to make it a great experience. Whether you're a student of archaeology or an enthusiast, Christopher is your best bet.
