Explore Gozo’s ancient Ġgantija Temples, Citadel, bays, and lunch on a full-day coach tour from Malta.
“The boat is a must, it is almost at the end of the trip, but it is so incredible. The megalithic stones were very interesting. Tip of you go during summer, bring an umbrella, the sun can be challenging.”
Review of Malta’s Gozo and Comino day trip, with Citadel sightseeing, Blue Lagoon swimming, boat tips, crowds, costs, and practical advice.
“It was a lovely day but the Blue lagoon experience was overwhelming. It is truly a breathtaking view but not enjoyable. Too many tourists are around and it’s not controlled at all. The traffic could be better organized. We couldn't wait to leave the island. But overall a nice experience and we had a lovely day.”
Review of Malta’s Seahorse Cruises day trip to Comino, Blue Lagoon, Santa Maria Bay, Gozo Harbour, and sea caves, with practical tips.
“This trip had awesome music! Skippers are cool guys and the captain is really a heartwarming person. I suggest it as a chilled deck and back deck trip, it was very nice.”
Explore Gozo by self-drive buggy, stopping at cliffs, bays, salt pans, and the Blue Lagoon with lunch and boat transfers included.
“Excellent tour! It was well organized and communication was excellent. Max and Jonathan were our two guides for the all-day buggy ride on Gozo. They were accommodating to the needs of the group. They even accommodated my gluten free needs at lunch. We ate lunch in a quaint town that was locally owned. They served traditional Maltese food. We saw parts of the island that we wouldn't have seen without being on a buggy. I highly recommend this tour.”

“We had cancelled this tour, so never actually did this tour . So no review or any details really apply at all”
Explore Valletta, Mdina, Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto, and Dingli Cliffs on a flexible private Malta tour with hotel pickup.
“We had a fabulous day, visiting all the key places in Malta and making some wonderful memories. The highlight for me was the boat trip to the Blue Grotto followed by the most delicious lunch in an idyllic restaurant overlooking the bay. Our guide, Mindo was so friendly and knowledgeable and went out if his way to make the day (our wedding anniversary) special. This tour really gives you the full experience of Malta in one day and I can’t recommend it more highly.”
Review of the Malta to Sicily day trip by catamaran, with guided visits to Syracuse and colorful Marzamemi, plus practical planning tips.
“Great trip. Everything went very smoothly and Sicily is beautiful. I wish we had more time there but it has certainly made me want to return.”
See Malta’s harbor villages, Blue Grotto, Mosta Dome, and Valletta on a private five-hour shore tour with port pickup.
“We hired a private car with driver and guide . She met us on time and the driver was good. We found the guide knowledgable but not very personable. When her mic went out shortly after our tour started she did not speak loud enough for us to hear and when problem was brought to her attention she said yes that’s a problem but did not even attempt to speak louder. Most of the time driving she did not really talk about the surroundings. Once we where stopped at different sites she did seem knowledgeable and would answer questions.”
Explore Malta in five hours with a private guide, Blue Grotto boat option, ancient temples, Mdina, and Valletta highlights.
“Excellent tour guide, punctual pick up, informative and engaging. We visited Blue Grotto, Mdina and Valletta. My only disappointment was that the tour is advertised as 6-7 hours, this was not actually possible due to Anna having another tour party at 15:00, so ours finished at 14:00, so we had 5 hours.”
Explore Malta by North and South bus routes, then cruise the Grand Harbour. See key sights, but plan around possible delays and traffic.
Review of Malta’s private day trip from Valletta, covering Mdina, Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk, Dingli Cliffs, transport, costs, and tips.
“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 .”
Review of Malta’s private one-day tour, covering Valletta, Mdina, Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto, Dingli Cliffs, and Mosta.
“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”
