Must do. - A must do. Hidden gem. This tour isn’t one booked through the cruise line and is inexpensive per person. Very informative and our tour guide Liam was so knowledgeable and intelligent, and his English was spot on. The van driven by Jospeh was also very accommodating and we didn’t feel in any danger whatsoever. I would highly recommend this tour. In this case there was only 7 of us. Yes. 7. Maximum is 15. Don’t miss out.

Malta is gorgeous and the tour helps to get a sense - Incredible tour. Malta is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been and this was an easy way to get a good sense of the area’s history in a short time. Guide was great.

Amazing tour with Liam!! - We did this excursion while on a 14-day cruise, and it was one of our favorites. Liam was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history, architecture and culture of the island. He made it both informative and entertaining. He also brought us in the shade as much as possible and even got us a sweet treat. Well worth the time and money!!

We didn't know what to expect - Malta was an unexpected pleasure tour. Our guide Liam was fun and knowledgeable as he took us to places others on our cruise didn't get to see. We explored the Grottoes from the water level. The blue color is so blue in the caves and they really can't explain what makes them that blue. We toured the city and then the city inside the city. It was one of our longest tours but showed us so much about a place we knew so little about. At the end Liam introduced us to a little known street food which was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this excursion.

Recommend! - Our guide Liam was brilliant, so knowledgeable and a great storyteller, giving us so many facts and legends about different parts of the island. All the stops were well thought out and with a small group of 6 we were able to go at a nice slow pace which was appreciated due to the heat (28c) as was the air conditioned mini bus. Was perfect trip for our cruise stop, got to see all over the island.
