Tour Options
Itinerary
Mdina Old City
Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.
Dingli Cliffs
Located on Malta’s western coast, at 253 metres above sea-level Dingli Cliffs are the highest part of the Island. The cliffs are a popular attraction for tourists visiting Malta, heading there for a peaceful walk with boasting views of Filfla and the Mediterranean sea.
Ta' Qali Crafts Village
Souvenir shops, handmade ornaments, soaps, jewellery shops and glass blowing demos ...
Mosta Rotunda
The Mosta Dome is perhaps the most impressive church in Malta, with its massive rotunda, that is the third largest in Europe.
Marsaxlokk Harbour
This fishing village is popular for a daily open-air market, offering a selection of the finest fish restaurants on the island and for the peaceful walks around the coast and harbour.
Blue Grotto Il-Hnejja
The location of this fascinating natural grotto combines with sunlight and the surrounding chain of caves to reflect the phosphorescent colours of the submerged flora and the deep dark shade of blue of the sea.´
Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Archaeological Park
The Ħaġar Qim temples are beautiful, a masterpiece of prehistoric masonry, and considering they were built between 3600 and 3200 BC, still very well preserved.

Great way to see all the sights at your own pace
Great tour and driver! We had the flexibility to customize as we went spending less or more time in places. It was super convenient to be dropped off at a location not worrying about parking and logistics. Totally stress free.

Wonderful driver for a private tour of Malta
We had a wonderful private tour all over Malta with our driver Salah Said. We were probably overly ambitious with all the things we wanted to see in the time frame we had, but Mr. Said was efficient, courteous, thoughtful, and attentive to our needs and desires. He is a true professional and we were fortunate to have him as our driver.
Operator response
Many thanks for your review and for letting us know you had a wonderful tour on our island. We greatly appreciate your comments about our driver. Thank you!

Half day in Malta from cruise ship
The 4 hour tour with Salah took us to major sites like Mosta, Mdina, Rabat, Blue Grotto and more. He was flexible and offered various options. We did not stay long at any site, but had the option if we desired. Would highly recommend this tour!
Operator response
Thanks for your review and we're happy to know you saw many of our island's main sites. Thank you for your recommendation.

First Class Malta Tour
My wife & I enjoyed our tour of Malta. Our Driver/Guide, Sahlia, was very accommodating and he made the adjustments necessary to meet our requests. He was always right on time at each of the pickup locations.
Operator response
Thank you! Great to know that you both enjoyed the tour.

Good custom private tour
Good tour if you want a taste of Malta. We spend 3 hours in private car going to different destinations in Malta. It’s all customization which is great but is a little rushed, too much to see even though Malta is small
Operator response
Thank you. Yes, Malta is small and may be compact but there's so much to see and 3 hours are, of course, not enough to see its many significant attractions. As you say, a 3-hour tour will give you just a taste of Malta but if one wants to soak in the atmosphere and see more of the island, we recommend our longer tours.

Malta is beautiful and can be seen in a private car
Frances Gauci arranged a wonder private driver for the four of us to see the southern portion of the island. We only had an afternoon available because of our schedule aboard Explora. Our driver showed the old town section of Valletta noting the gardens and the excellent harbor view point for pictures. Then off we went to see the colorful Fishing boats of the cute town Marsalis (sp) with time to walk the shopping stands along the promenade. The to the incredible Blue Grotto where we had time to take the small boat tour to see the intensely blue waters and the colorful rock caves. We still had time to explore the 5000 year Neolithic archaeological site Hagar Qim. These were all accompanied by very knowledgeable driver explaining life on Malta, Gozo and Comino. The driver made this short visit to Malta a perfect shore excursion with our limited available time. Use this provider with confidence!
Operator response
This is so great ... to know you had a good time touring the south of our island and thank you for your wonderful, detailed review. The driver enjoyed showing you around and says you were excellent customers! Thank you!
