The most important things to do in Gozo in 1 day - Exactly as described. Picked up on time at 9.30 am at the Hotel Excelsior. Overland journey to the ferry approx. 1.5 hours 11.30 am ferry to Gozo. Duration approx. 25 minutes Picked up by bus from Mgarr (harbor) to the Ġgantija temples. Arrival 12.45 pm Stay for approx. 30 minutes. Continue to Marsalforn and change to a train. Drive through the city and along the coast past the salt fields to Panwie Solne and back. After approx. 1 hour back on the bus and continue to a tourist shop Handicrafts ;-). Stay 20 minutes, which was OK. 2.45 pm Then on to the west coast: Dweja Bay, optional boat trip. However, we decided to take pictures of the coast, which was great. Then continue to Victoria for a late lunch at 3.45 pm. There was macaroni, fried potatoes, vegetables and chicken or fish. Not a highlight, but completely OK. After that, 1 hour at your leisure. We recommend climbing up to the citadel because of the wonderful view and the St George's Basilica. At 5.45pm, we head to the harbor and get on the ferry at 6.30pm. After a long and well-organized excursion, we're back at the hotel at 8.30pm.

Gozo Island a must! - Mario was an excellent & efficient guide. The trip was well worth it with plenty of different places to visit. The Boat through the caves was an experience to remember!

Fantastic day out - Fantastic day out. Tour guide was most knowledgeable. Coaches where clean and comfortable. Picked up and dropped off on time. Lunch was tasty. Would have liked a little more time and the temples. Overall fantastic value for money

Gigantia and Vuctoria - The trip to Gigantia is well worth a visit. I would have liked the trip to spend more time at Gigantia and less time in the Capital Victoria as by then we were truly tired out with all the coach changes and the ferry. More time could be spent at a beautiful little inlet where we had lunch. The train ride is also well worth the effort and great coastal views were had of the ancient salt pits on the beach.

Worth it! Varied and interesting - The whole tour was very good-a little something for everyone. I liked all the stops along the way ( perhaps not the shopping so much, but others liked it).

Not a great day trip - Needed to change the pick up/tour joining location but had awful trouble getting a response from the tour operator whilst in the UK. Finally got hold of them and changed it in plenty of time but then on the day of the trip we got "told off" by the guide as apparently they had been looking for us at the previous pick up point and wasted a lot of time trying to find us. Showed her my messages to prove I had had an acknowledgement of the change but she just said well the office didn't pass the message on. The trip itself was good for the most part but the lunch was very disappointing and cheap. Apart from the potato dish the rest of the food was just from a supermarket deep freeze and tasted bland. Expected more and the guide was rude to a lot of people.

This is too long a tour to see Ggantia - Let me start by saying Maria, our guide was very informed, organised and knowledgeable. This tour is too long and not immersive. It really does take all day and the highlight (for me) Ggantia is at the end before the 4:30pm lunch!!! There is more time allocated for a weird toy train ride along the northern coast of Gozo than is allocated to see the 5000 Ggantia structures. There are no notable stops and it arrives back at 7pm. Maria was very accommodating to me and allowed more time for us to spend at the prehistoric site. I think this tour should be redrawn to allow more engaging stops the. Just driving around Gozo with no particular purpose. If you want to see Ggantia I suggest you choose a different tour as this one left me (us) frustrated and annoyed. Nothing against the driver or guide - just the schedule.

Not worth the money - It was difficult to understand the guide ( in English). However, she was very sweet and helpful . The archeological site was a disappointment. There was not much there and were weren’t allowed to see the museum. The best part of the trip was paying $5 eu to take a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon. Very fun and beautiful. My ticket said lunch was included but had to buy my own lunch.

Boat Supreme - Terrible!! - We booked an excursion to Gozo with Sightseeing tour at the kiosk located on the Sliema seafront - SUPREME boat. The bus that would have taken us to the port arrived half an hour late and they didn't call all the participants who were waiting and we were left stranded! They returned our money very rudely. They also say that they pay for the ferry but that's not true, you have to pay for it on the way back. The day before we went on an excursion to Comino with them... 200 people crammed onto the boat and onto the beaches. TO AVOID!!!!!!!!!!
