Sweet and tasty tour - We could not have had a nicer experience around Malta than being driven around by Simon. He took a us to experience the blue grotto, to have local sweets and pastries, to the original capital of Malta. Perfect English, warm personality. A wonderful ambassador for his country. We look ok forward to a return visit.

Great service would definitely go again. - Isaac and Sylvan mage the tour personalised, special and interesting g taking in the blue grotto Hagar Qim, Dihgli cliffs and the Catacombs. They allowed us time at each location to explore at our own pace. Unfortunately due to a massive thunderstorm we had to curtail the tour. Prior to the tour we were kept informed of timings where to meet and on the day Phone calls to ensure we knew wheee to meet and what vehicle led was collected ring us. Great service e thank you.

A wonderful insight to Malta - Wow! Our guide John was amazing. His knowledge of Malta astounded us. He was both knowledgeable and passionate about the country. He was very helpful and thoughtful, a true gentleman. We really enjoyed the tour and the time spent with John. He made sure we seen everything that we wanted to see. At the Basilica he walked us in to a separate counter to avoid the line. John was always waiting for us when and where he said he would be when at an attraction that he did not go in, such as the Blue Grotto and a few others. We never felt rushed and really got to enjoy all we seen. John’s knowledge and personality really made this tour special. We highly recommend this tour.

Private driver experience in Malta - Our first visit to Malta via cruise ship and we wanted an overview of the major attractions. This tour on Viatour seemed to fit the bill and it certainly delivered. Jonathan, our driver did an excellent job providing us with a great introduction to Malta. Our first stop was a boat tour in the Blue Grotto. This is a must do experience, beautiful! Next stop the Dingli Cliffs, highest spot on Malta. Then on to Mdina, the oldest city in Malta and finally views of Valleta. Jonathan provided excellent historical commentary as well as current information on Malta. Jonathan provided little
treats, water and a small gift. We were very pleased with his service and the value of this private excursion.
