Gozo in 9 hours with UNESCO Ggantija Temples, Victoria Citadel, Xlendi Bay, and Dwejra Inland Sea. Includes lunch, ferry, tickets.
“Good transport, our guide Nofka? (apologies for the spelling) was lovely. The lunch was really good! We had plenty of free time throughout the day. The ‘walk’ up to the Citadel was great. Enjoyed the ferry ride.”
A full-day Gozo loop with ferry, UNESCO temples, Victoria and the Citadel, Xlendi and Dwejra, plus lunch with wine.
“Some great sites to see. Felt rushed, no real communication until our tour guide had us on the bus in gozo which was almost 2 hrs after pick up leaving us confused the whole time. I didn't realise the tour was such a big group. Vegetarian lunch looked like they had no idea how to feed a vegetarian.”
A 7 to 7.5 hour Gozo and Comino day trip from Malta, with Victoria, the Citadel, and a Blue Lagoon swim stop.
“We really enjoyed our trip on the boat to Gozo & Comino, despite it being extremely busy. The coach pick up at Gozo was completely chaotic at the bus station but the driver from the waterfront was clear in explaining to get the exact sane bus on return to the waterfront. Worthwhile, would we do it again? No, once in a lifetime. Value for money? It’s the same price if you booked it in the day”
Sail from Bugibba to Comino’s Blue Lagoon and Santa Maria Bay, with snorkeling time, cave views, and a comfy Seahorse Cruises ride.
“Overall experience was really good! Do not expect a few people on board, it’s pretty crowded, but still — everything was nice. Beautiful places, and as a first boat trip on Malta to see the most popular places it works as it has to. The crew was friendly, not overpriced food and drinks on board. You have time to swim, watch the beauties of the island from the sea and sip your beer. So, thanks to the crew :)”
Self-drive Gozo buggies meet a Comino Blue Lagoon boat return. Great sights, included lunch, and a swim stop in summer.
“Organised, professional, full day with an experienced and friendly team. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!”
Valletta 1-day hop-on hop-off bus plus Grand Harbour catamaran cruise, with Wi-Fi and 24-hour Blue and Red Lines to see Malta.
“Bus is filthy. No air conditioning and drivers did not know where we needed to get off to go on harbor cruise. Audio system does not work in many of the seats. We never got to go on harbor cruise. Worst hop on hop off bus we have ever been on.”
Private Malta day trip with hotel pickup: Valletta, Mdina, Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto cave boat, and Dingli cliffs, all with a guide.
“The tour was the perfect way to see the best parts of Malta in a day and we were not slowed by a larger group. We got to see each of the key sights at our own pace and our tour guide was amazing and added some personal touches as only a local guide/resident could.”
Guided Sicily day trip from Malta by high-speed catamaran to Syracuse and Marzamemi, with an English guide and scenic ferry time.
“Fantastic excursion and wonderful tour guide. Plenty of time to explore the two places on the itinerary. Ferry back to Malta was quite bumpy, otherwise great experience that I would recommend to others if you have a spare day and you’re staying in Malta.”
Private 5-hour Malta shore tour from Valletta, with Marsaxlokk harbor, Valletta highlights, Grandmaster’s Palace, and harbor views.
“Roberta was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. She listened to our preferences and filled the day exactly as requested.”
Private Malta day from Valletta: Blue Grotto, UNESCO temples, Mdina and Valletta City Gate, with hotel pickup and tailored guide.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our last minute tour. Our tour person, Richard, online worked with us to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. Anna Diehl was marvelous helping us to avoid steps and stairs. She made each stop better than we could imagine. She surprised us with a suggestion to take a boat into the blue grotto. It was absolutely the very best experience. The remaining stops were wonderful too.”
Hop-on hop-off buses plus a 90-minute Grand Harbour cruise in Malta. See North and South routes and ride at your pace for one day.
One day from Sliema to Gozo and Comino, with cruise views, free time on Gozo, and a Blue Lagoon swim, all in 7 hours.
“I didn't like it at all. The weather was terrible, and they kept us on the boat for two hours in Comino because it was raining heavily and everything was closed. On the way back, it was worse because it was very choppy on Tuesday and we got seasick. No one spoke Spanish, and we didn't understand anything; it was a horrible experience. The crossing lasted an hour and a half.”
A private Malta day trip from Valletta with hotel pickup, expert guiding, and stops in Valletta, Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto, Dingli, Mdina, and Mosta.
“Car was the only negative about the whole experience, too small for 4 guests and driver. Guide was great, provided all we asked for and then some. Had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant near the Blue Grotto, food was fantastic and great view .”
One private day threading Valletta, Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto cliffs, Dingli, Mdina, and Mosta Rotunda, with pickup, guide, and tight timing.
“Mindo was a wonderful tour guide! He took us to several places around Malta and provided us with the history of Malta. (new Malta, old Medina, Fishermen village, Dingli cliffs, Blue Grotto, St. John Cathedral and more). Mindo took us to a beautiful family owned restaurant overlooking the water and took pictures for us as well. Not only would I recommend Mindo as a guide but I would also recommend Malta as a place to stay for an extended period of time! This excursion was a 10/10. Thank you Mindo for an amazing day! Much Gratitude, Cornell’s and the Densmore’s”
