5.00The best part of the tour is Mdina. What a beautiful place! I didn’t even know it existed before tour. I only wish we had more time there. The Valletta part of the tour was nice but could have been shorter. Our guide was very informative and gave us great insight on the sites.

5.00Traveling with friends, we wanted something easy but worthwhile, and this worked perfectly. The group size was manageable, and we had enough time to explore and take photos. It felt organized but still flexible enough to enjoy at our own pace.

5.00We joined this tour during our cruise stop and it turned out to be a great decision. Everything was well-paced, and we never felt rushed. Our guide shared interesting stories without making it feel like a lecture. It was a relaxed way to see Malta’s highlights as a couple.

5.00We did this as a family with kids, and it was surprisingly smooth. The schedule wasn’t too tight, which helped keep everyone happy. The guide was patient and engaging, even for younger ones. A nice introduction to Malta for families.
Pricey and Disappointing
Roberto D,Apr 17, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00Been using Viator for a while… this one was the first time we were disappointed. The tour is a bit pricey for what it offers. Not much happened on the first part of the tour and the worst part is the second leg we could have done it on our own with a lift right from the dock for 2 Euro up and down! Definitely not recommending this one …sorry!
