“Our guide, Evelyn, was a very professional host under tricky circumstances. She had to juggle doing the commentary in both English and French, making sure everybody had a great time, and keeping to schedule - despite other tour groups getting in her way! We saw everything we wanted to see with plenty of time to explore the different locations. Grazzi, Evelyn!”

Review of Gozo’s guided day trip with Ġgantija Temples, Dwejra, Victoria, lunch, ferry transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Overpriced, disorganized, waste of time. If you want to see Gozo, go yourself. Charging close to $100 for a tour you share with about 50 people is not right. I wanted to see Gozo and decided that it will be easier for me to take a tour. The information stated that the tour starts at 9:45am. Only the day before the tour I was informed that I need to be ready for the pick up at 8:15. The pick up van smelled like an old ashtray and we were treated to the loud music from the radio the entire ride. Later it became clear that we are brought to a…”

Explore Malta by private car with a local driver, from Valletta and Marsaxlokk to the Blue Grotto, ancient temples, Mdina, and more.
“Chris picked us up in the morning, introduced himself very politely and we settled in very quickly with the help of his professionalism and charm! Before starting the tour, Chris made sure we let him know if we wanted to alter it in any way to suite our specific preferences and wishes which is amazing for anyone looking to do something not mentioned but in the area. Chris drove smoothly, the car was comfortable and clean, and he was very knowledgeable on many things in Malta such as the history, climate, and culture. There wasn’t a moment where we felt stressed out like usual touristing because we had Chris should…”
Explore Malta’s 5-hour prehistoric temple tour with pickup, tickets, transport, local snacks, and practical advice on value and site visits.
“We liked that we got our own private car for just the three of us versus being on a big tour bus. But we didn’t like that we didn’t have a guide to walk with us and tell us about the sites. This tour is just transportation and waters (no snack was included even though it was mentioned in the description). Driver was super nice and took us to two additional sites because we had the time but it was a bit pricey for just driving around for 5 hours.”
