Malta experience

Christopher was our guide and driver for the day. The car was large enough for 4 adults and was driven very professionally. Christopher assisted us in planning a route around the parts of Malta we were eager to see. He guided around queues and chose spots for lunch and snacks. We saw so much and were not disappointed we booked the tour. The company also kept in touch via email on the build up to the tour. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Thank you Island Traveller

A wonderful day in Malta

Our tour was perfect from the start to end. Our guide Christopher was a wonderful guide clearly dedicated to ensuring our expectations & interests were met. And, they were met in every way. We toured the 3 cities, Mdina, Rabat,Hagar Kim, marsaxlokk, blue grotto, Dingli cliffs, with each stop catered to what we wanted. Christopher was quite knowledgeable giving us great overviews, as well as answering all our questions. He was professional, congenial, pleasant, an excellent driver, and a pleasure to be with. We consider ourselves looking out having Christopher as our guide.

Great overview of Malta.

This was a comprehensive tour that was extremely well run, all encompassing, and most enjoyable. We saw so much in a relaxed manner. Our guide Christopher was wonderful - from the time he picked us up and told us this was our day to let him know our interests & he surely honored them. We could not have had a better guide. Chris was professional patient truly informative, accommodating, and a safe driver. This was a wonderful tour. I would recommend to anyone.

Don't think twice...book it!

We had a great day with Mark. He was an excellent tour guide. We got to see so many interesting sites and he was very informative and professional. It was a last-minute booking because our cruise tour was canceled. We were so lucky to get Mark to take us around Malta and had a wonderful day!

Private driver.

Marco was an awesome guide and the experience was worth every cent. Marco was informative, knowledgeable, thoughtful and personable from start to finish. His communication skills were clear and concise and ensured we thoroughly enjoyed our day, including as much or as little as we wanted. Having a driver on standby was wonderful. Do yourself a favour and hire Marco and this service, he's the man. Thanks again Marco.

Mark was knowledgeable,...

Mark was knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, flexible, warm, spoke perfect English. He provided the perfect balance of giving information, but allowing us private time to explore on our own- he gave us space. We Would highly recommend Mark for a great day trip around Malta.

Tailor-made trip....

Tailor-made trip. Christopher asked what we wanted to see and planned the route to accommodate this. He gave advice on how long we would need on each activity. His knowledge of Malta and the history added to the day. Christopher gave clear explanations of where he would be when we wanted to move to the next destination and we were not rushed and he gave us a day we will not forget.
