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.

Good choice for our time in Malta - We really enjoyed this tour. The highlights were our visits to the Blue Grotto and Malta's old capital city, Mdina.
The only negative was that our guide was not properly equipped to deliver his knowledgeable talks while he was driving us from place to place. Only the people sitting close to the front of the van could hear him. As a result, many people in the back of the van started conversations that distracted from our tour. Suggest that the tour company use a speaker system inside the van.

Great tour! Excellent communication! - George was our driver and timing was perfect. Communication before, during and after was excellent. George took us to the blue grotto where we did the boat ride, dingli cliffs, Madina, and a domed church. Received a honey cookie and a Maltese fridge magnet souvenir. Couple small things, it lists wifi in the van and we were to receive water. Van had no wifi and we did not get water. That said we did receive an apologie from the company afterwards saying it was an oversight. Would definitely book this tour.

We saw lots of places... - We saw lots of places which was nice. Blue Grotto and Mdina. Blue Grotto boat ride is a must do. Was not impressed with transportation. Van was old and ac didn't work great towards end of day. Our tour guide was also about 15 minutes late and had us come find him vs coming to us where most others were picked up. Driver also got lost multiple times and had to do lots of turn arounds. Would have hoped he knew the island better for the amount we paid for the tour.
