Fantastic day - This was the best tour we had during our entire 2 weeks' vacation. Surprisingly affordable for what it was. Chris is an extraordinary host and guide. He helped us see a couple things we were interested in that were not on the schedule and helped us with recommendations for the following days on Malta. He let us go our own pace and explained everything we were seeing with great knowledge. Would highly recommend this tour and any tour Chris does!

A trip through time, not to be missed - This tour was everything we had hoped for from both description and the reviews. My mother had wanted to go to Malta for a very long time to see the neolithic/megalithic sites. This tour was exactly what we wanted and needed.
Not only did we see everything we wanted to see, including absolutely extraordinary sites that are unlike anything we'd ever seen, but our driver guide was immensely kind and courteous, as well as flexible as my mother was not able to do as much walking. The car was extremely comfortable. The audio tours provided with the tour are very helpful as well.
Extremely recommended. I cannot think of a better way to see all of these mind-blowing sites.

Highlight of our Malta holiday. - Christopher was punctual, friendly, informative, knowledgeable and interesting on our full day tour. Visiting the sights, punctuated by his local and historical narrative, was the highlight of our stay in Malta. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

Prehistoric monuments tour with a bonus ... a historian tour guide - Tour: Prehistoric Maltese Monuments tour
Tour Review: Christopher was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable (a historian), very personable, and clearly loved his job. In addition to the UNESCO World Heritage sites listed in the itinerary, he also took us to a site that was not yet open to the public. It was excavated by 2 women, Margaret Murray and Dr. Edith Guest, in the 1920s, a significant achievement for that time period. The gorgeous Blue Grotto lived up to its name afterwhich we enjoyed delicious seafood at the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. We highly recommend this tour and our outstanding tour guide, Christopher

Magnificent Megalithic Malta - Christopher, our guide was on time, well dressed, and ready to guide us all around Malta. He has a wealth of knowledge related to Maltese history and is willing to share his love of the island with his guests. We visited many sites that we were unaware of and also had a boat ride to the Blue Grotto.

Private tour of Malta - Cristopher, our guide and driver was everything and more that we could have asked for. Cristopher arrived at our doorstep well in time to start our tour. The Peugeot 506 was very comfortable and clean. Cristopher was extremely courteous, always opening the door for my wife, well informed and responsive to our needs. tailoring the itinerary and pace to suit us. He is very knowledgeable and, while focussing on the history and detail of the sites we visited, we also had a wide-ranging discussion on other matters such as social and community issues. It was a very satisfying day overall and we would recommend it highly to anyone.
