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!

Malta is such a beautiful island and the tour was great! Our tour guide was a little too chatty though and put us behind schedule, but after notifying the cruise ship that we were running slightly behind, we were able to arrive at the ship in plenty of time.

The bus wasn't able to get to the cruise port due to a pedestrian vs. car accident that blocked the road for hours, but our guide handled it very professionally and had us walk 10 min to get to our driver. Mdina was really incredible to see a very eclectic blend of many European influences. We finished in Valletta and had time to eat and shop. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Malta is unique as it is it's own country but has been under many countries historically and has architecture and culture from all of these eras.

Decent tour. Loved the old town and new. Good guide, but it started late and got caught in traffic. Our last hour was needed to rush through and return to our ship.

We had the best time on this tour. Alessandro picked us up, brought us everywhere we were hoping to see and some more. We saw some famous sights from the Godfather movie, tried almond wine (in a hilarious pub, you’ll see) and one of the best canolies I’ve ever had. He even bought me a Sicily magnet that I will always cherish. He was so patient and nice to us. My only complaint is that it was over all too soon! Thanks Alessandro you’re the best!!
