Gozo Jeeping and Blue Lagoon - We had a fabulous day out on this tour that we booked through Viator and was operated by Barbarossa Excursions We sailed to Gozo where the guests were put into 2 groups, half did the jeeps around Gozo while the other half did the Blue Lagoon etc with swimming opportunities. Then after lunch, which was very good, the groups swapped around. This worked really well. The ship then returned to Gozo to collect the afternoon jeep group and we sailed back to starting place. We were picked up and returned to Sliema.

Ask for Joe. He's the best - We had an excellent visit to the Blue Lagoon, Crystal Cove, free wine, and lunch. The captain and his team were brilliant. Funny too 😄 We then went on Jeep Tour round Gozo with Joe. He's the best. Full of knowledge and absolutely a gentleman. Hopefully, all the drivers are like Joe. You'll always have happy customers. This was our 2nd wedding anniversary too, so it made the day even more memorable. Have highly recommended this tour to other guests in our hotel and told them to ask for Joe, haha.

The Gozo experience - We took the full day excursion to visit several places on Gozo by jeep, the lunch and the boat around Comino. The jeep excursion was great and the lunch basic. The afternoon trip wih the boat did not fullfill our expectations: too long stops at blue and cristal lagoons (who were crowded) and not really a round trip around Comino. On the other hand, we were very well pleased about being picked up and brought back from and to our hotel.

Great day trip! - We visited the lagoons (Blue Lagoon and Crystal Lagoon) in the morning, so the boats weren't that busy yet. We had enough time to swim and sunbathe on the boat. Before we went to Gozo, there was a cold buffet on the ship, which was definitely enough to fill us up. We were then met in Gozo by the jeeps and their drivers. As we had booked a German tour, there were 6 of us and our driver was Amor, who spoke good German. From time to time we communicated in English, as it was sometimes easier. Amor was very accommodating, friendly and in a good mood. At 75 years old and having lived on the island for over 40 years, he was able to give us very good information and tell us a few anecdotes. He made the trip an absolute highlight! Highly recommended!

Best tour guide ever!!!! - Our tour through Gozo and Comino islands was beyond everything we could have imagined! Our tour guide Steven made our tour fun and he was super informative! He knew all the most beautiful parts of the island and we were absolutely blown away by him! I would highly recommend this tour and Steven as a tour guide! We would definitely do another tour with Barbarossa next time we are back in Malta!!

Great experience to see the best of both islands!! - The whole experience was great!! We booked through our hotel and we were picked up at the hotel at 08:30 and were taken to the bay at the north of Malta, where the boat was waiting for us and the other groups. The first half was at Comino Island, we went to Santa Maria Bay for the first hour, then we went to the Blue Lagoon where we stayed for 1hour and 30minutes and we had lunch. The lunch was simple but nice and varied, some pasta, tuna, bread, salad, etc. During our time at the Blue Lagoon, the boat stayed in the middle of the lagoon so heads up if you don’t know how to swim but you can ask for a life jacket if you want. We were also offered to visit the caves for €10 extra, it is just caves but it is nice to see them closed up and on the way back to the main boat, the cave boat speeds up and it is great fun. On the main boat there is unlimited water and white wine and toilets. The whole boat experience was great and the crew was very attentive and helpful. The second half of the trip was in Gozo, we were taken to these Jeeps with a capacity of 4/5 people and the driver took us around the whole Island of Gozo. A really big shout to our driver, Mario, he was absolutely fantastic!! He explained what we were going to do, then also explained what we were seeing and a bit of history of the place. Mario also made sure to stop so that we could take photos and if we needed anything, he was more than welcomed to help. During this Jeep safari we had a few stops to go toilet and have a drink or a snack. In general, the whole experience was well organised and everyone from the team was very welcoming, nice and ready to help.

Overall for what we paid and what we got we were very disappointed. - The trip did not meet our expectations as described in the tour description. 1) was not a hotel pick up and we ended up picking up several locations having a full van for a 2 hr drive to meet the boat. 2) The boat was over crowded by at least 10 people, to the point someone had to sit on a table. 3) When we finally got to the jeep safari, we had to cram in the back of a small jeep really designed to fit four, we had 6 people. It was not comfortable at all. 4) The jeep tour was lacking with info and no real time to enjoy the sights or take much pictures. 5) The conditions of the jeeps and boat were poor, worn equipment. 6) Finally we had to reverse the drop off process so it took another hour plus to get back to our hotel. Over all for what we paid and what we got, very disappointed and would not recommend this trip.

Avoid tourist trap - Tourist trap, very disappointing, we were sold a dream... the shuttle that was supposed to pick us up from our hotel arrived 1/2 hour late. First stop of the boat 3/4 hour on Comino beach then return on the boat towards blue lagoon, we were asked to pay 10 euros per person to get off the boat for 15 minutes then have a decent lunch on the boat and finally departure for Gozo. Once there we left in the jeep, we were assured that we would have a French guide. The only French guide also speaks Spanish but being requisitioned for a Spanish group we were assigned an English guide. 6 of us found ourselves crammed into a jeep, impossible to move or take a photo because we were so crowded, the guide didn't comment on anything and in any case with the speed and the wind we wouldn't have heard anything, he just said take us from one point to another. We made 4 stops to take a few photos, knowing that during the last stop we only went down for 2 minutes to take a photo then the guide rushed us to get back in the car because we had to be at the boat at 4:30 p.m. In the end, there is no point in doing this excursion which is very expensive for what we did, run away.
