Setting Sail with Francesco

As a digital nomad, I often find myself seeking out unique experiences that offer both adventure and a touch of local culture. When I heard about the Private Boat Tour in Malta, I knew it was something I had to try. The promise of exploring Comino, Gozo, and the Blue Lagoon on a private boat was too enticing to pass up.

Upon meeting Francesco, our guide for the day, I immediately felt at ease. His quiet yet welcoming demeanor set the tone for what would be an unforgettable journey. It was just me and another traveler on the boat, which made the experience feel incredibly personal. Francesco’s knowledge of the area was impressive, and he shared fascinating insights about each location we visited.

The tour was only two hours long, but Francesco made every moment count. We cruised past stunning landscapes, each more breathtaking than the last. The highlight for me was the chance to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon and another secluded spot. It was the perfect way to cool off and soak in the beauty of Malta’s coastline.

A Taste of Gozo

Midway through our tour, Francesco surprised us with a delightful snack of honeydew melon, watermelon, cheese, and crackers. It was a refreshing treat that kept our energy up for the rest of the journey. But the surprises didn’t end there.

Francesco took us to Gozo, where we visited a charming little bakery. There, we indulged in some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. It was a spontaneous detour that added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. As someone who loves to explore local cuisine, this was a highlight of the trip.

We also had the chance to visit the Citadel, a historic site that offered panoramic views of the island. Francesco’s knowledge of Gozo’s history made the visit even more enriching. His passion for the area was evident, and it was clear that he genuinely enjoyed sharing it with us.

Beyond the Tour

What truly set this experience apart was Francesco’s willingness to go above and beyond. After the tour, he shared a link with us that detailed all the must-see spots in Gozo. He even offered to answer any questions we might have during the rest of our stay.

As a solo traveler, I often rely on the kindness of locals to guide me through new destinations. Francesco’s generosity and expertise made this tour one of the best I’ve ever been on. It was a reminder of why I love traveling—meeting incredible people and discovering hidden gems along the way.

If you’re ever in Malta, I highly recommend the Private Boat Tour. It’s an intimate, flexible, and unforgettable way to explore the beauty of Comino, Gozo, and the Blue Lagoon. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, this experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.
