Fantastic Tour Guide & Transportation - Marlen Tours was great! Very accommodating to make sure we got to see all the locations on my list, provided additional pictures of locations and a very comfortable ride with local history and city information. Highly recommend stopping at the Blue Grotto and Mdina!

A fabulous tour! - We had a wonderful tour! Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the county and what we were seeing. The boat ride in the caves was absolutely gorgeous and worth the 10 euros. We also visited the medieval city of Mdina. Fabulous! Wish we could have stayed another day to see everything the city had to offer. The basillica is a must see! The entire tour was well worth the money.

Great for cruise passengers - We got picked up from the cruise port. Some may need to take a ferry from the cruise ship to the pick up stop. The ferry runs every 30mins.
Ralph was our driver. He spoke excellent English. He took us to the Blue Grotto. We took the little boat ride 10 euros per person. This was a must see and do.
Then we went to the cliffs. Very nice view. Not that big a deal compared to the grotto. Then to mdina, very cool. Then back to Valletta, our starting point.

Best tour guide in Malta!! - We have never had a Guide as lovely as Mark was in Malta. He picked us up at the airport the first day, took us touring the next day to. Valletta and Mdina, picked up our kids (having to wait for a delayed flight), drove us to our boat tour and did several kind favors for us while we were on the island. His van is roomy and air conditioned. Mark is a local and is so kind and patient and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Really well planned and Mark is awesome! - Mark was brilliant! If you can request people, request Mark! His contact the day before was awesome, and on the day he was really informative, knew lots of interesting facts about Malta; he was really flexible and friendly, he even had cold water for us! He had a plan for the tour but also adapted it to suit us! Thank you Mark for a lovely 4 hours

Only driver not a guide - Views were excellent however, our driver didn’t explain anything. Another group was in separate van with driver that was explaining everything. We had English as language and they changed it to English written and said we would get tour booklet. We asked the other driver who gave us 1 booklet to share.

Worst tour ever - Only car with driver from hotel to Vallletta, then Valletta to Mdina, Mdina back to hotel. No tour guide. It would only cost max 100eu for a taxi or bolt. No way it costs more than 250eu!! Better refund

Terrible "private tour" in Malta - Ralph was our guide. There were two couples on a private tour. He picked us up on time. After that, everything went downhill. He did not provide us with any narrative on our drive. He was able to answer most of our questions, but didn't talk about anything as we drove. There were several places mentioned when we chose to book this tour that we never saw, or even had the opportunity to see. He took us to a couple of places that were beautiful and great photo opps, but beyond that there was nothing to do. He dropped us off at Mdina and asked that we call when we were done, he said about 2 hours. When he picked us up there, after a 15 minute wait, he offered us two options for returning to our cruise ship and that was all we got. I would consider it more like a taxi ride than the "private tour" we paid for.

Worst Tour Guide - Our driver and guide Carmen picked us up on time. She did not understand us and had difficulty speaking English. She lives in Malta and could not tell us basic info about Malta which I as a traveller knew. She would drive us to a place and did not have any info for us. Did not know the cost either. All our questions were answered with a YES or NO. A total waste of our time. Please issue refund. All other Guides(4) were very good.
