The route covered a pleasant range of locations, including historic cities and picturesque vistas, and the pickup was on schedule. There was some walking, particularly in historic areas, which older members might find exhausting. All in all, however, it was simple and easy, and we had no logitical concers.

The professional staff at the sites were so helpful, we truly appreciated the insider tips on where to grab a local Cisk afterward. It felt like a very professional, high end day out.

We had an amazing time exploring Malta. The history is fascinating and walking through the medina really feels like centuries ago. Our tour guide was great—he shared a lot of knowledge and allowed us to explore while sticking to the schedule. Even with the summer heat, it was totally worth it!

This Malta trip exceeded all expectations! The medina’s charming and historic atmosphere was incredible to experience firsthand. Our guide was amazing—very informative, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly. Traveling with a family of nine on a private tour made it even more special. Highly recommended!

The trip to Malta was an unforgettable experience! The medina felt like stepping back in time and the city’s rich history is beautifully preserved. Our guide was knowledgeable, well-organized, and even treated us to traditional local food. Even in the scorching heat of July, the shaded streets made exploring comfortable. A perfect private family trip!

It was a good day overall, and we took the highlights of Malta. In a few hours, I saw a lot. Even throughout the lengthier sections, everyone was entertained by our lively and humorous guide.

An excellent tour of Medina and Valeta. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. We were a small group of 6 and she gave everyone her attention. Malta is beautiful and full of history. You should see it with this tour

Malta/Mdna were both beautiful but our guide definitely went overboard on non stop details of history. I like hearing the history but every doorway was a long drawn out story. Group all felt the same.

Malta was stunning. The history of the city is rich and still intact. Being in Mdina was like taking a step back into time. Our tour guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, took us for a tradition local snack, and let us explore while still sticking to the schedule. We went us a family of 9 and we had our own private tour. We did go in the end of July so it was rather hot out, but the cities do offer lots of shade. If you are interested in truly seeing and learning the history of Malta, this tour is incredible!
