Marvelous Malta Experience

Our guide Chris was a fabulous communicator, timed everything just right and proudly shared his beautiful county’s highlights and history! We especially loved our time at the Blue Grotto!

Good, flexible tour and friendly guide. The van was a little older than some and the AC was a little weak for the hot weather but an enjoyable tour of Malta nonetheless.

Thanks for the review. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Unfortunately we are experienced high temperatures. And is making difficult for all of us. Thank you.

Trouble in Malta

I have been on 19 Viator tours. This was absolutely the WORST experience I have ever had on any tour!!! Suzanne was 20 minutes late, and her vehicle was a dump!!! There was only one door that worked and while driving, her back door flew open!! She was dressed inappropriately and did NOT talk to us (this was supposed to be tour of Malta and she said nothing!) She also talked on her phone constantly while driving, which is against the law in Malta. The first stop she made was NOT on the itinerary and she asked if we wanted to stay an hour there! When she took us to the Blue Grotto, she said we had to go down the steps to buy our tickets. It clearly said on the itinerary, that the tickets were included. By this time, we were so disgusted, we asked to be taken back!!!! I am appalled that this happened. There needs to be better vetting as far as tours in Malta!!! I will be curious to see if Viator prints this review!

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we must respectfully clarify that several statements in this review are not accurate. The pickup took place within the agreed timeframe, and the vehicle used for the tour is fully licensed, insured, and regularly inspected in accordance with Maltese transport regulations. At no point did any door open while driving, nor was there any safety issue during the tour. The guide was appropriately dressed and provided information throughout the tour, as consistently confirmed by the vast majority of our guests. Additionally, mobile phone use while driving did not occur, and all driving was conducted in full compliance with local traffic laws. Regarding the itinerary, the initial stop mentioned is a commonly used optional stop depending on traffic conditions and guest preference. As clearly stated in the tour description, Blue Grotto boat tickets are weather-dependent and purchased on site, which is standard procedure. We regret that the tour was ended early at your request, as we would have been happy to clarify any misunderstandings and continue with the planned experience. We remain committed to providing safe, professional, and informative tours, and we encourage guests to raise any concerns during the tour so they can be addressed immediately. If you have asked the driver for a change We were happy to change your driver and the vehicle if you weren’t happy with it.

Nice!

Great way to see Malta. Driver was extremely accommodating. Unfortunately, it was very hot and his air-conditioning wasn’t working all that well, but would definitely tour with him again.

The itinerary met our expectations. The sites were amazing, however, the driver was not engaged in the tour. She acted like a taxi driver and spent most of her time talking on the phone. Therefore, the “tour” provided a taxi driver, bottle of water, snack and magnet. All of that could have been accomplished for a lot less with Bolt/Uber or regular taxi service

Operator response

Thanks for the review. We are sorry to hear that. Will have a look what happened with the driver. But we can ensure you. That the company you have named, they have nothing to do with us. Please, you have to understand that you haven’t booked a guide tour. You have booked a Privit tour. If you want a guide, that’s a different story with additional Cost. On the application it is clearly written. Thanks.

Taxi service

Just a heads up. This is basically a taxi service. There is no guide. Just a driver dropping and picking up. Does not include tickets to any attraction. If you are looking to get from point a to b then this is for you.

Operator response

Hello. Thanks for the review. Please read the app carefully as we don’t offer thickets of the beats or cathedrals or museum. It’s a land tour with a private drive. Thanks regards

Milovan is the best!!!

Milovan was an excellent tour guide. He accommodated our wishes but also took us to places we did not know about. At the end of our tour he presented us with a picture of our group. It was a surprise and very kind gesture! I would highly recommend touring with him and look forward to coming back!

Malta Island Tour

Chris was a wonderful tour guide. We knew nothing about Malta before arriving. We saw Valletta, Mdina, the Blue Grotto, and other parts. We were interested in Apostle Paul history, and he pointed out the historical shipwreck location and other sites. Our favorite location was the blue Grotto. The natural beauty was awesome. There were so much vibrant colors.

Operator response

Thanks for the review. I was glad to meet you both of you. Wonderful people

Great tour of Malta for a cruise stop!

Chris was a great guide, was able to get us around and provide information and suggestions to improve our experience. Itinerary was perfect for a cruise stop in Malta - just the right amount of time, and his recommendation for a classic lunch of Maltese cuisine was on point!

Operator response

Thanks so much . Was happy to show you around.

Our driver did a great job giving us the history of Malta with enough leisurely time at all the stops we wanted to go to without feeling rushed. Perfect way to spend one day in Malta. Also did such a great job navigating the chaotic and busy streets on a Sunday with multiple cruise ships in the port.
