The tour is relaxed yet informative & the perfect way to get to know the customs & traditions of Victoria & Gozo. The generous food & drink stops are an absolute delight including the unforgettable highlight of stunning views for sunset drinks at the Citadel! Thanks Leanne for a memorable & enjoyable, small group experience & for sharing your love of beautiful Gozo.
Hi Pauline and Gary, I really appreciate your wonderful review. Thanks for taking the time to share with others and I hope we see you in Gozo again one day soon!
We had an incredible evening touring Victoria, Gozo with Leanne. The food was amazing and Leanne was incredibly knowledgeable - sharing wonderful insights into Gozitan life. We could not recommend this tour highly enough!
Leanne runs a fantastic tour! An awesome way to see the city, learn some history, get some fun stories and try some really delicious food and wine! So interesting, I loved the personal touches, its great value for money, had such a fun night!
Hi Erin, thank you so much for your amazing feedback. I'm pleased to know you had such a great time on my experience and understood the personal touch I try to bring to all my guests. Hope to see you in Gozo again soon!
The Victoria Gozo Sunset Walking and Drink Tour was fantastic. With a small group, you will explore Victoria's old town, get a lot to know about the history, but also about the various drinks and foods typical of Gozo. Leanne tells anecdotes, current stories and knows so much about this small EU country, as a "washy" Gozitan/Għawdxin of course especially much about Gozo .She is a tour guide with body and soul, takes time to talk and exchange with each one. The different stops for the tastings are decidedly well chosen. There is soooo much good food, everything is really extremely delicious. At the end you get a small overview (food bingo) with recommendations for certain specialties in a wide variety of places on Gozo. This gives you the opportunity to continue on a culinary discovery tour.
Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on our tour. I am so pleased to hear you had a great time and have recommended us to others. You are always welcome back to Gozo, we would love to see you again!
What an amazing way to see the city of Victoria. Our guide Leanne was really knowledgeable and gave us a great history lesson of the city and seemed to know all the locals who were happy to talk to us. The food and drink through the evening were well balanced through the evening to ensure you were never too full for the next course. All of the food outlets and restaurants were excellent and you got chance to try loads of local delicacies. It's a great night out and well worth the money.
Hi Claire, Mark and the gang! Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm glad you enjoyed the food and wine on offer and all the stories and island insights shared! Hope Mark had a stellar birthday on Gozo! See you next time, Leanne
This is a must do! I saw a completely different side of Victoria. You really get a special glimpse into the way people live (and most importantly eat) on Gozo. My absolute highlights were the cheese & wine in the Piazza as the sun was going down, and the Limencello at the Citadella gazing out at the lights of the island. Liane knows so much history and inside info and she went out of her way to make sure the kids had fun and the adults were happy. A dream!
Hi Kanoa, Thank you so much for your valuable feedback, it is greatly appreciated! I am pleased to hear you guys had a wonderful time, as I also thoroughly enjoyed your family's company on tour! We hope to see you in Gozo again sometime soon.
If you’ve been coming to Gozo for years, don’t think it’s not for you. I actually thought I know quite a bit about my favorite island, but Leanne blew my mind with all the information and knowledge she has about the culture and history of Gozo. We took the tour with our kids and she even created a wonderful scavenger hunt for them, to entertain them while the adults got to listen to her wonderful stories. I can only my recommend to take that tour and get infected by Leanne’s passion for this wonderful place.
Dear Lili, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I am so pleased that a seasoned Gozo lover like yourself was able to learn something new on tour with me! Your family was adorable and I loved taking your kids on a 'scavenger hunt'. Looking forward to when we meet again.
We had a fantastic evening with Leanne and can highly recommend taking a tour with her. Perfect for families with children, Leanne accommodates all needs and is just so lovely! We will do this tour again for sure!
Hi Julius, many thanks for the lovely feedback. I certainly loved taking your lovely family around Victoria and hope that you will return to do it again soon!
Wow, Leanne is such a phenomenal guide. She is a true native of Gozo and loves to share interesting facts and recommendations of her beloved island. The tour was just the right pace, moved along at a good speed but never felt rushed. The food and drinks were generous and thoughtful. Leanne obviously puts a lot of care into making sure each guest has a wonderful experience. She even had a special local surprise for us on top of the Citadelle! Best of all she gave us her own creation at the end - a food “bingo” with recommendations for each speciality in Gozo. What a treat, please pamper yourself and book this tour.
Hello Mary and Kate, Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. I am so pleased to know that you enjoyed your tour and definitely look forward to welcoming you back to Gozo for another tour soon!
