A 2.5-hour guided walk through Valletta’s fortress streets, gardens, and main squares, with harbour views and stories from local guides.
“Angelica has an authentic interest in Valletta despite probably having been a guide for a while. I particularly appreciated the enlivening of the tour through descriptions of peoples' lives”
Hop on and off a Gozo open-top bus from Mgarr Harbor for a one-day tour with panoramic views, Victoria sights, and top stops like Dwejra and Ggantija.
“I have used this same company all around the world and found them excellent. The Gozo experience proved no different. I had purchased our tickets before leaving home and so had a voucher on my mobile phone. This had proved to be a major problem on Malta, but the drivers on Gozo had no such problems. The buses were on time all day long and the commentary was good. Excellent way to see Gozo.”

“Marisa was a fantastic tour guide! We learned a lot of really interesting information not just about the history of Malta in general and Valetta specifically, but about life in this small island nation now! She also showed us a lot of beautiful points of interest, gave breaks due to the heat, and overall did a great job.”
