Chris was absolutely...

Chris was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he communicated with us ahead of time to confirm our timing and make sure our itinerary was customized to what we wanted to see and do. He also provided wonderful recommendations that made our experience even better. Chris was ready and waiting to meet us as soon as we got off the ship, and from that moment on, the entire day was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience in Malta. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Chris to anyone visiting Malta. He helped make our visit truly memorable!

A beautiful day in Malta with a local perspective.

This was a great tour, Chris was very communicative beforehand to make sure we got to see the things we wanted and so he could put an itinerary together tailored for us. We learned a lot about the island’s history and culture from him and we loved all the places he brought us to see, highly recommend!

A Great Way to See More of Malta!

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!

Operator response

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!

Wide ranging 5hr tour of island

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

Operator response

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! 😊

Exceptional Half Day Tour of Malta!

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!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your amazing review! 😊 It was a genuine pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the beauty, history, and culture of Malta. I'm delighted you enjoyed the stories, local insights, and of course, the Maltese treats! My goal is always to create a relaxed, personalized experience, so I'm glad you never felt rushed and could enjoy the day at your own pace. Your kind words and recommendation truly mean a lot to me. Thank you for choosing to explore Malta with me, and I hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Safe travels! ☀️

Best Malta Experience

We had such a wonderful experience exploring Malta and its breathtaking cities. Chris was a wealth of knowledge when it came to sharing the history and rich culture of Malta and its people. The tour was smooth, relaxing and we loved that we were able to customize it accordingly to our interests. When we weren't sure, Chris was able to suggest some wonderful places that met our taste and needs. We never felt rushed and had such wonderful conversations among ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to spend a day learning and exploring all of the wonderful things Malta has to offer.

An amazing day touring Malta with Chris!

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!

Operator response
