Good excursion - The transfer was on time and ok. At the assembly point we had to wait 30 minutes until everyone from the group was present. Then we took the tour on foot with around 50 people. The management was professional and informative. The boat tour on the small boat was good. Overall a good trip.

A little bit underwhelming - This tour was a bit underwhelming, a large group of us traipsed around for 3 hours after a guide (who was lovely and very knowledgeable, but who had no microphone so we couldn’t really hear her). The stopping points felt poorly planned and were often in direct sunlight which wasn’t great on a hot day. The boat ride was the highlight, and it was beautiful! There was also a convenient pick up and drop off, but no food or drink as the listing suggests. I guess you get what you pay for!

Fast paced and somewhat disorganised - Exploring the cities and the views were fab. On arrivals at first stop it took an age for the tour to start and the guide could barely be heard. Past city seemed rushed. Not half a day, it was half a day including travel.

Group size too big...boat ride was a highlight! - Seeing and walking through the fortified cities was great .Unfortunately the group size was way too big. The quick boat ride in a traditional Maltese boat around the harbour was a highlight.

Not Happy! - Terribly organised by company. They left my group waiting for 40 minutes at the pick-up location. We contacted them and they sent a Bolt taxi to collect us. They made no attempt to contact us until we reached out. Not good enough! We missed the first part of our tour which we were not compensated for. The tour guide was lovely and the locations great, but we missed one of the sigths because of the delay.
