Good tour of Gozo - A very good tour of Gozo that took in plenty of the local sights. The guide was very knowledgeable not just on the general history, culture and traditions of the island but also on the history etc of each place we stopped at was definitely worth it at the end of the day.

Excellent trip - Having read some poor reviews about this excursion I was a little apprehensive. However it was an excellent well organized tour. Picked up at our hotel in clean air conditioned mini bus and taken to port where we met our fantastic guide. He looked after everyone in the group and was funny and informative without being over stating. The lunch was basic but well cooked and exactly what you expect on this sort of excursion. Would definitely recommend m

Amazing Time - I made a short weekend trip to Malta to get away from classes. This was the only thing I was able to do on my trip and it was well worth it! I saw so many sites, met fun other tourists, bought some great souvenirs, and had some yummy food! The guide was so nice too! This is a trip that I will never forget!

Wonderful Jeep tour of Gozo - I was very lucky to be on this tour in February when it's not the most busy time. In our jeep it was just me, one other person and the driver, John who is a very knowledgeable and lovely man who ensured we had a day that we thoroughly enjoyed with a lot of interesting information about the area. I would definitely recommend this as a great thing to do while in Malta, there is so much to see, the views from everywhere are breathtaking, the people extremely hospitable and genuine and the history rich and interesting. It would be a shame to miss out on this while holidaying in Malta

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.

Don’t bother - To start of with the tour was over subscribed and not everyone could get on the bus. The bus driver got very irate at one point and was shouting on his phone and at the guide. Our guide, Vincent, was taking the Italian and English speakers in the group so certain people had to change groups once on the very. We had to hang about once we got to Gozo as they had lost 2 people so we had to wait on the next ferry coming. Eventually drove off to see the sights but guide wasn’t inspiring. Lunch was dire, cheap restaurant that caters for bus groups and wine disgusting. We only had 50 mins stop in Victoria to see the citadel and other things. The wee train ride was needless. Coming back on ferry, group got separated again so more hanging about once we got back to Malta. In my opinion much better getting the ferry across and doing the hop on hop off bus.

Good Guide, Mediocre Experience - Francis our guide was very good - personable, corny jokes, love of his country. A highlight. This tour of Gozo is an okay choice if you have limited time and want to minimize figuring it out on your own, but it is geared towards the lowest common denominator. Lunch at the Cittadella Restaurant was INEDIBLE. Really. #237 of #246 restaurants in Gozo for lunch. Terrible. If you have any trouble walking distances and / or managing stairs this tour is NOT for you. Don’t believe I could recommend this company without saying to keep your expectations low.

Holiday - Took this tour today would def not recommend it we were dropped at the ferry and told we woukd be met in Gozo.on arrival in Gozo nobody to meet us after asking alot of questions and finding a number to phone SMS offices we find out the tour guide is on the next ferry coming over with 30 mire people. A waste of 2 hours of our day by the time the your got going. No time to see the cathedral no time to see Victoria or the citadel as is advertised in the programme when it is been sold to the customer. Sorry we didn't make our own way to Gozo and explore ourselves.

Poor - Booked this trip after representative told us about it at Corinthia hotel. We don’t eat chicken and she promised, after calling someone, we would be able to have fish instead. This turned out to be a lie and we were told that can only have salad if we don’t want the chicken and potatoes being served to everyone else. Lunch was poor and rubbish compared to any standards, even if we had had the chicken. It’s not in a typical village, it’s in a typical tourist trap near the Citadel in Rabat. The craft centre is just a shop in the middle of nowhere, so you forced to walk around a shop selling souvenirs for 30 mins. Wish I had done a bit of research before booking this tour.

very poor tour, not worth the money. - very poor tour, not worth the money. the guide (although good) said everything is 3 languages, which slowed down everything to beyond terrible. Food was unbelievable bad. 40+ passengers, too large. the coaches were old and cramped and noisy. Very expensive for what is was. DO NOT GO WITH THIS TOUR OR COMPANY.
