Highly recommended highlights tour for private/small group - skip the bus and do this! - Got off cruise ship and met Jonathan, our driver/guide in Valletta, Malta. He brought a 12 passenger van for 2 of us - said smaller car/van had issues. So, we piled into the front seat (all 3 of us) and off we went. He took us to the Blue Grotto - first to overlook for a view and pictures, then down to the Grotto. We bought tickets and took the boat ride around the point. Met a girl from Canada who was staying her for 4 days and confirmed our highlights tour was best itinerary. Boat took us into several caves/grottos, we took some pictures, and returned. We walked up an old tower for a few more pictures and then back to the car. Jonathan then took us to Dingli Cliffs. Here, he gave us a treat of a bread with fig/dates inside (kind of like a fig newton but better), we sampled a few other treats and bought some White Nouget with Almonds (tried a few other flavors and preferred that). Took some more pictures of the coast and then headed down. We stopped for a picture on the drive - and he continued sharing more history and facts about Malta and the towns on the island. He next took us to MDina. MDina is an old fort/town. We walked around the small streets and loved the architecture, the colorful doors, the flowers, and just enjoyed walking the ‘streets’ (more like alleys). Only a few hundred people live here, and the town is over 1000 years old. We bought a small glass nativity made in Malta. We then decided to walk down to the some catacombs. We saw a bridal party getting out of a cool old while limo, and made it to the catacombs. It was a network of ~450 burial plots (cement tombs basically, looked like cement coffins without a cover) under the ground - we walked around under there for a bit (recommended) then we met back up with our driver. We finished with a drive into Valletta (the old town) - he showed us where a few of the stars visited/stayed, oriented us to Valletta, drove a circle around the town, and he dropped us off to explore on our own. Overall, super happy with our tour and with Jonathan. I had a bit of trouble understanding his accent at times, but my wife always understood him. He was nice, patient, provided good info, and was a good driver. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Awesome first day in Malta - The Blue Grotto was incredible but unfortunately it was windy so the boats were not going to the Grotto. So our driver, Kevin, (👍 up to Kevin) added a visit to the Mosta Rotunda, a beautiful church. We learned alot about Malta from Kevin.

Marvelous Malta - Jonathan was our guide and driver and his broad knowledge of Malta past and present made our trip super enjoyable. Pickup was easy from the cruise port, and the vehicle was very comfortable and clean. Jonathan was very accommodating given someone in our group had crutches and helped us customize the itinerary so we could still hit all the highlights like Mdina, Blue Grotto, Barraka and several Cliff and scenic stops. He bought us some fig pastry treats which were amazing. We also learned about film industry projects happening in Malta. We were very impressed with Malta and left wanting to experience more. Highly recommend this tour!

Best way to see Malta 🇲🇹 - Peter was an amazing tour guide who picked us up from the cruise port. He showed us all the major sites including Glass blowing. Peter bought us some local delicacies and made sure to bypass some of the line ups. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see as much as possible in a day.

The Best!! - Our guide, George, got us through all the bus traffic like we were the only ones on the road. He was so knowledgeable and made us feel like we were seeing the most beautiful sights because of him,
