5.00We had a wonderful tour with Christopher as our guide He listened to our interests and tailored our tour accordingly He also showed us some hidden gems and took us to a small cafe where we had the best pastizzi and coffee with the locals. The car was immaculate and he had a very easy going friendly manner while also being very knowledgeable on the history of MaltaWould highly recommend
A guide is a must!

5.00Without a guide you will miss some amazing stops. Mark took us to Hagar Qim which I didn’t see many years ago. It was so nice being on our own time frame so we could have lunch in Mdina and do some shopping The city is spread out so impossible to walk and see everything
We felt like royalty!

5.00We were collected by Christopher right outside our hotel front door on time to the second. He was friendly from the start and immediately made it clear this was our day to spend as we wished. No pressure from him to do anything in particular which is refreshing when you consider some guide experiences can be highly prescriptive which this was not. As we made our way from one location to another we often stopped briefly for a piece of history or natural wonder that we wouldn’t have necessarily spotted on our own. Christopher is very knowledgable making him a great guide and was able to bring stories to life with local colour and his own local family history. He always found a way of beating queues and stopping as close as possible to destinations to make things even easier. We were with Christopher for the best part of seven hours but it only felt like half that number and we could happily have gone even further afield than we did. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Friendly, knowledgable and professional at all times. We were made to feel like royalty on tour.
Great tour - welcomed into the family

5.00Our tour guide/driver, Chris was absolutely fantastic! As a proud native of Malta and an avid historian, he provided a truly unique experience. Chris took us to some off the path sites where no tourists were around as well as the must see Bronze Age Hagar Qim, Mdina, Rabat and others. A real Malta bucket list day of learning..
Marvelous Malta

5.00Mark was an excellent tour guide and showed us a fabulous day on Malta, including a gorgeous Blue Grotto boat ride, several Neolithic sites, a yummy lunch and visit to Rabat and Mdina. He was very pleasant, thoughtful, helpful, flexible and knowledgeable. The day was full of interesting and fun activities, yet flew by. Mark is very easy to spend time with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to tour Malta and/or Gozo.
Amazing tour of Malta!!

5.00This is a great way to see Malta. Our tour guide Christopher was excellent: interesting and knowledgable and delivered information without being patronising. He took us to places we would never have found otherwise and had proper local knowledge which was fascinating. As a Guide he was able to take us straight to the ticket desks which is a real bonus. Our tour lasted for about six hours and the time sped by!
Made to feel like royalty on tour!
