Great tour - Had a lovely tour, it was very informative. Charles was great and we didn’t feel rushed at all but covered a lot of ground.

Good day too long for lunch - Good tour but added some elements that were not necessary. Lunch was not great and lasted too long. Better to not include it and give time for a short cafe break of 30 minutes. No need to visit the craft village better to have longer in other places or add another visit to a historic site instead.

Full Day - Long day but enjoyable - picked up 8:45 and got back to our hotel 5:30. Fairly fast paced walked approx 4 miles in total. Excellent guide who looked after us very well. Lawrence the driver was nice and amazing getting into tight spots. MDina transports you back in time and well worth seeing. The Dome was interesting. Rabat was nice too. The rest could be knocked off the trip in our view to allow longer free time in MDina and Rabat. Lunch was Pasta, Pork and veg tasteless stew, which majority left, and a tiny pastry. Small glass of wine and water provided too. Pictures are in MDina which don’t give it justice.

Speedy tour covering a lot - This is definitely a whistle-stop tour, but great if you are tight on time. The lunch was good (3 courses!) the wine really nice. Our coach was a bit late so we were a bit rushed at points. The company picked us up and dropped us off right next to our b&b which was great. The selection of sights you visit is really good. You do need reasonable mobility to enjoy - you need to walk quite a bit.

Wonderful sites poor guide - Charles was very friendly especially on a one to one basis. He frequently would just start walking without gathering the group and without instructions on where to go. This was unsettling for us and many of the group as we were In an unfamiliar setting. This was brought to his attention and he explained he was trying to get us in front of other groups. Two people were left at Dingle cliffs and another tour member noticed their absence. We eventually circled back to get them. Would highly recommend this tour but with a different guide.
