Gorgeous surprise - I took the red panoramic bus and toured the islet for all its extension and attractions. Peccat0 for archaeological sites closed for holidays. The journey Valletta - gozo is very fast and cheap. I ate well in the capital Victoria.

Wonderful overview of Gozo - Our tour guide was excellent. She was informative and knowledgeable about Gozo and all of Malta. Really enjoyed her explanations of Ġgantija.

Overall Good Experience on this Tour - Nice trip- well organised overall. Collected on time from Hotel. Bus on Gozo was older than bus up to ferry port. Ferry was busy but tour guide kept everything in order. Lunch basic but fine. Would have liked more time in Gigantia

Gozo in a day. - Interesting trip, but it’s a very long day. We saw a lot of Gozo and it’s history. Worth dong, I think.

Gozo history - The tour itinerary was good, nice places to visit. However, I had a hard time following the tour guide. It was not clear what we were visiting, what the story around it was. Also, it was hard to hear him unless I was standing beside him.

I was expecting to be... - I was expecting to be picked up at our hotel, but this was changed at a day’s notice so we had quite a walk. I also thought we would be in a small group. We were on a full size coach which was full. When at the archaeological museum it was chaos. Our guide tried to shepherd us around the exhibits among other parties and individuals. We couldn’t see what she was talking about or hear her. There was no time to look around the exhibition ourselves.

for a full-day visit by discovering the maximum number of sites - We used the green bus line to imperial. every 45 minutes. 18€ the bus stops at the main tourist sites giving you time to make your visit and catch the next bus. advice take the shuttle as soon as possible to Valletta, travel time 45 minutes and moderate price

Fantastic ancient history from a formidably long day. - What was advertised as an 8 hour trip took nearly 12 hours. Thirty people was too big a group and guide’s English too fast and difficult to understand. A group of about 10 would have been preferable. We had to wait in a queue for about an hour to catch the 20 minute ferry ride to Gozo from Cirkewwa. Bus to north end of Malta took longer than expected and the fast ferry from Valletta to Gozo would have been a much better option. In spite of all this we managed to enjoy the history, most sites visited and good companionship.

Rushed, chaotic and too full. - The organisation of this tour was somewhat chaotic. Our guide was great but 46 people was too many especially as the tour was in Spanish and English thus making communication slow. Joss (guide) gave us good information but we did not go to Fungus Rock or the inland sea (both were advertised as part of the tour). We did go to The Ggantija but did not get a chance to look in the museum as we were hustled through to the site itself. Randomly we spent time at some cliffs for some reason. When we got to Rabat/Victoria to see the citadel the bus was sent off to collect school children and we had to hike steeply uphill if we wanted to see the citadel. Why we could not have been dropped nearer the top was never explained. Lunch was very pleasant (choice of soup or pasta to start, chicken or omelette with salad and potatoes, scoop of ice cream, glass of wine BUT pay extra if you wanted water or coffee). Long drive from Valletta to the ferry and back so really only 5 and a half hours on Gozo. Didn’t feel we really saw Gozo and probably should have made our own arrangements. Only do this tour if you are seriously unable or unwilling to organise it for yourself.
