Unfortunate
Tour operator didn't show. Forgot or lost track of the booking. One positive is he initiated a refund immediately.
Operator response
We are very sorry for your experience. Unfortunately planning of this booking somehow slipped through our hands, and we take full responsibility for this mistake.
As I mentioned during our phone conversation, I sincerely apologized and offered to arrange the tour with just a one hour delay, but we completely understand and respect your decision not to proceed after our guide did not arrive on time.
We truly regret the frustration and disappointment this caused. We always strive for the highest standards of service, which is why this experience is especially upsetting for us. We sincerely apologize for failing to meet those standards in your case.
We promise to learn from this mistake and ensure it does not happen again.
Please accept our sincere apologies once again.

Beautiful Malta
Wonderful experience. The combination of travel by vehicle, walking and boat gave the opportunity for everyone to participate and be immersed in Malta. The Blue Grotto was amazing. We visited an overlook of the Blue Grotto that allowed us to see the Hawks and Falcons up close. Our guide Chris and his driver went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience in Malta. I highly recommend this tour and Chris. Our group of 8 had an amazing time making lifetime memories!
Operator response
Thank you for such a warm and wonderful review. Our professional team of guides is always dedicated to ensuring your time in Malta is truly memorable, even during a short visit. We’re delighted to hear that Chris and our driver went above and beyond and that your group had an amazing experience!
Yours truly,

5 Stars for Malta Holidays
5 stars for Mindo! First of all, I booked this experience in less than 12hours from start time, and Mindo (the owner) was at our hotel, on time. My friend and I, on the other hand, overslept, and I had to call Mindo and ask for extra time before we got started. He was completely understanding. The man is very knowledgable when it comes to the history of Malta. He provided us time to get a bite to eat, and suggested places to dine. He was also our personal photographer, and got us pictures at the main attractions. He is very personable and I'm glad we booked with Malta Holidays.

Worth every penny
This tour was a great way to see the sites of Malta in just a few hours. Our guide was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable! Our driver was excellent! Would use this company again. Our only complaint was the cleanliness of the van windows. But that does not stop us from giving the highest rating.

Best tour ever!
This is definitely a 10 out of 5! They arrived on time to pick us up. Our first driver Jason, had car trouble but he
immediately had a replacement car and driver for us. Peter showed up and continued our tour. He showed us every corner of Malta. We feel in love with Malta. There is so much history and beauty in Malta and Peter was a phenomenal guide. He had a passion for Malta and so did we after our tour. It was by far our best tour, ever! We had the best day and that is all thanks to Peter and Jason.

Valletta and more
Our guide, Martin, was extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Malta, as well as the present. We were able to see so much in the city of Valletta, the Blue Grotto, and Mdina. It is truly a beautiful and unique country.

Fun and informative tour of Malta
Oscar was a great guide in Malta, and Amy safely drove us all around the island! Oscar provided detailed history and interesting information about Malta, especially the 2 cities where we did walking tours, Mdina and Valletta. The ancient through modern architecture was amazing. Oscar introduced us to Kinnie soda when we stopped for a break. The highlight of the tour was the Harris Hawk experience with the local falconer.
Thanks Oscar and Amy for a great day!

A highly recommended insider’s view of Malta.
Our guide, Mindaugas, took us into St John’s cathedral & was able to explain how this cathedral differs from others. He described details we would have otherwise missed & answered all our questions.
