What To Expect
After pick-up from your location in Malta around 9:ooam, we will start on our journey to the Cirkewwa Ferry Terminal; located in the North of the country, to take the 09:45am ferry. Once we catch the ferry we have around 30 minutes to reach the island of Gozo. The Citadella - Located in the Capital of Gozo, this imposing fortification is built strategically on a hill giving a dynamic view of the whole island and its landscape. The ramparts are a vantage point for the onlookers and photo enthusiasts. Its roots date back to the late medieval times, but the hill has been settled since Neolithic times. One can spend time wondering along the narrow street and the ramparts, or choose to visit the Fort Visitor centre located in the ditch (accessible for all). One can also choose to go down the hill and try the local pastizzi - a local pastry delight filled with peas or cheese. You are advised to have lunch at this time - ample time will be given to see the site and eat.
Ggantija Archaeological Park
Located in the town of Xaghra, this majestic structure is known to be the oldest freestanding megalithic structure in the world. Consisting of two temples which date back to between 3600 and 3200 BC, the Ġgantija Temples are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site has the facility to access for all, including its interpretation centre which also deserves a visit. Entrance fee varies from €4 to €8 and sometimes there is possibility to combine it with Ta’ Kola Windmill, located 10 minutes walk away from this site.

A very informative and enjoyable day

5.00Our guide was Michael. What a knowledgeable person. Courteous, friendly, patient and going above and beyond. The salt pans was not on the list but I did want to see them and Michael obliged. Lots of additional mini stops with narrations of folklore, legends and history. Highly recommend Michael. Book him!

5.00Our guide, Michael, was very accommodating, gracious and very patient while my wife took dozens of photographs. He gave a great tour of Gozo and explained the significance of all the sights.
Comprehensive and spectacular

5.00This was so much bang for your buck. I can’t imagine anything more comprehensive. Our driver Michel was knowledgeable and witty and showed us places on Gozo we never would have found in our own. By the end of the day we had run out of adjectives and just stuck to “wow” and “amazing.” What a beautiful island. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a complete Experience. We finished the day tired and fulfilled and feeling like we had checked all the boxes on Gozo. The privacy and ability to be on our our schedule was an added bonus. Then end of day sunset on the ferry ride home was the icing on the cake

5.00Be patient with the Gozo traffic, it's pretty full. For those who like churches, it's good. Could include the other archaeological site on the island on the route.
Gozo is Beautiful and this tour is amazing!

5.00This is an excellent trip! Michael, or driver/guide was outstanding. He gave us wonderful information and made the history come alive for us! There was lots of traffic in Malta, getting to/from the ferry, and in Gozo, so we had to adjust the schedule somewhat. And we included a lunch stop. We had a great overview of the island and saw the major sights on the island. We loved the cathedrals, the Citadel, the National Shrines. The Archaeological Park, the grotto and the caves were also worth a visit. We would definitely recommend this tour and Michael is great! It’s a long day, so just be prepared for lots of walking and lots of stops.

5.00We spent a wonderful day with Michael as our guide to Gozo. As I told him, he showed us everything we wanted to see, and things we didn't even realize we wanted to see! He is very knowledgeable about the area and it's amazing history. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again.

5.00Michael was a wonderful guide and showed us many places on Gozo that we would had missed of we had been on our own. And he shared the history of Gozo and its significance. Timely pickup at our hotel.
