John was the best driver... - John was the best driver we could have asked for. We traveled to Malta for one day on a cruise and he picked us up right at the terminal. He allowed for a flexible schedule and had suggestions as well, which was great! He gave a great amount of historical facts along the way. He was a great driver and we always felt safe. Would definitely recommend him to anyone we know and will be contacting him for our next trip!

Wonderful Experience. Could not have been better! - Jonathan, our tour guide and driver was perfect. Great communication before as to exactly when and where to meet and our preferred itinerary, funny and informative enough to keep our interest without being boring, and flexible and sensitive to our very diverse group of young kids and elderly parents. I am grateful for his suggestions regarding how and why we should do specific activities and when would be the best times to do them. Overall a fantastic experience. I would unconditionally recommend this tour, especially this driver, to anyone visiting Malta.

Excellent Private Tour – So Much Covered in Just a Few Hours! - We had a fantastic experience on our half-day private tour around Malta! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating facts about the island’s history, culture, and landmarks. The car was spacious and very comfortable — a huge plus given the 36°C heat — and the air conditioning worked perfectly throughout the entire trip.
We managed to see a lot in just a few hours, and the pacing was ideal. We had enough time at each stop to explore, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings without ever feeling rushed. The itinerary was well thought out and balanced.
I were traveling with teenagers of different ages, and they all really enjoyed the tour as well — which says a lot! The guide managed to keep everyone engaged and made the whole experience interesting for both adults and younger travelers.
Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and informative tour — highly recommended for anyone visiting Malta who wants to make the most of their time in comfort and with a great guide!

Great way to see Malta - Isaac picked us up from the cruise terminal and took us to the major tourist sites around Malta. He was friendly and full of information. He kept us entertained with his stories throughout our 4 hour tour. Make sure you have cash for the Blue Grotto boat ride as they do not accept credit.

It’s a must! - Our tour guide was very nice. He met us at the port and provided pictures where to meet him, which were easy to follow. He took us to the blue caves where we had the option to pay €10 to go on a quick boat to the blue caves, which was beautiful. Then drove us around pointing out points of interest and took us to stop on the road where we purchased some olive oil pistachios sauce and offered us a dessert. He dropping us off in front of Mdina where we walked through the old fortress and stopped for a quick drink. Then dropped us off so we could shop before head back to the port. He even gave us Malta magnets at the end of the tour. Oh, and the shuttle was so nice and big! Great air conditioner!! It fit about 10 people so for 6 people it was super roomy. I highly recommend this tour.
