  Terrific guide/ driver. Very friendly and full of information and insights. Enjoyable day. But needed significantly longer in Mdina to make most of day.

• Highly recommended highlights tour for private/small group - skip the bus and do this!

  Got off cruise ship and met Jonathan, our driver/guide in Valletta, Malta. He brought a 12 passenger van for 2 of us - said smaller car/van had issues. So, we piled into the front seat (all 3 of us) and off we went. He took us to the Blue Grotto - first to overlook for a view and pictures, then down to the Grotto. We bought tickets and took the boat ride around the point. Met a girl from Canada who was staying her for 4 days and confirmed our highlights tour was best itinerary. Boat took us into several caves/grottos, we took some pictures, and returned. We walked up an old tower for a few more pictures and then back to the car. Jonathan then took us to Dingli Cliffs. Here, he gave us a treat of a bread with fig/dates inside (kind of like a fig newton but better), we sampled a few other treats and bought some White Nouget with Almonds (tried a few other flavors and preferred that). Took some more pictures of the coast and then headed down. We stopped for a picture on the drive - and he continued sharing more history and facts about Malta and the towns on the island. He next took us to MDina. MDina is an old fort/town. We walked around the small streets and loved the architecture, the colorful doors, the flowers, and just enjoyed walking the ‘streets’ (more like alleys). Only a few hundred people live here, and the town is over 1000 years old. We bought a small glass nativity made in Malta. We then decided to walk down to the some catacombs. We saw a bridal party getting out of a cool old while limo, and made it to the catacombs. It was a network of ~450 burial plots (cement tombs basically, looked like cement coffins without a cover) under the ground - we walked around under there for a bit (recommended) then we met back up with our driver. We finished with a drive into Valletta (the old town) - he showed us where a few of the stars visited/stayed, oriented us to Valletta, drove a circle around the town, and he dropped us off to explore on our own. Overall, super happy with our tour and with Jonathan. I had a bit of trouble understanding his accent at times, but my wife always understood him. He was nice, patient, provided good info, and was a good driver. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  Our driver Tony was great! Very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time wherever we went. He also showed us how to get into the Basilica easily and had good restaurant suggestions.

• Awesome first day in Malta

  The Blue Grotto was incredible but unfortunately it was windy so the boats were not going to the Grotto. So our driver, Kevin, (👍 up to Kevin) added a visit to the Mosta Rotunda, a beautiful church. We learned alot about Malta from Kevin.

• Great was to see the sites
