⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A flawless experience: Maria really makes a difference!

5.00I took part in a half-day excursion departing from St. Julian with destination Valletta and I can only be fully satisfied. Often the success of a tour depends on the technical details, but in this case the real added value was the human factor. The absolute strength of this experience was our guide, Maria. Rarely do you meet a person so competent and prepared, able to convey the history and essence of Malta with a contagious passion. What distinguishes it is its availability, unaffected: Answers to every curiosity: it was not limited to standard explanations, but precisely answered all our questions, satisfying even the most particular curiosities. Genuine and personalized advice: Maria gave us valuable tips on what to do, where to eat and how to get around. The thing I appreciated most was his honesty: his advice was clearly targeted to our interest as tourists and never dictated by personal interests or business arrangements with locals. A rare and disinterested approach. In addition to driving excellence, the entire organizational machine has spun wonderfully: Punctuality: The transfers to and from Valletta were impeccable. Efficiency: Everything was handled with great professionalism, without hitches or downtime. In summary: It was an extremely interesting half-day full of ideas. If you are looking for a tour that combines perfect organization with an authentic and professional human touch, I highly recommend this excursion. Thanks again to Maria, for making this day special!
Malta!! A must see!!

5.00Fabrizia was an amazing guide!! She made sure we saw all the historical sites in Valletta and Mdina!! Malta is beautiful and had no idea of all the history. Her passion for her country and beauty is making us want to plan a vacation to just Malta!! Hated to leave!!
Good guide but should have provided her with more direction

4.00There was a lot of history covered and lots of walking. In this port I think a boat excursion would have been more enjoyable for our group. Our guide was good but we should have given her more direction. The minibus was very nice.
Excellent Tour if You Like to Learn

5.00Our guide and driver were fantastic. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we wished we could have spent the entire day with him. Our cruise stop was short in Malta so we were only able to see a little bit of Malta.
The vehicle was improper and it was too hot. Otherwise it could’ve been nice.

5.00Our tour guide Valentina was amazing!! There were so many sights we wanted to see and she showed us everything and even allowed time for us to have a boat ride to the blue grotto and jump in to swim in the sea. She took us to Medina which was so charming and quaint. Valentina was extremely knowledgeable. Best tour and tour guide yet! And we have been on 6 different tours so far!
Great experience.

5.00This was our favorite place/tour on our Mediterranean cruise. Our guide Marabell was wonderful! She picked the best places for us to visit and she even arranged for us to get a boat ride in the Blue Grotto. It was incredible!

5.00Jenny was an excellent tour guide and our driver Mario took us from site to site safely and with the comfort of a minibus with AC. Jenny helped us customize a tour that included a picture my husbands father had from his tour here in the navy in the 60s and gardens that I would enjoy. She kept our boys engaged during the entire tour and we learned many things about the history of Malta and she had us wanting to plan another trip to see more of the sites!
