Great for cruise passengers - We got picked up from the cruise port. Some may need to take a ferry from the cruise ship to the pick up stop. The ferry runs every 30mins.
Ralph was our driver. He spoke excellent English. He took us to the Blue Grotto. We took the little boat ride 10 euros per person. This was a must see and do.
Then we went to the cliffs. Very nice view. Not that big a deal compared to the grotto. Then to mdina, very cool. Then back to Valletta, our starting point.

Best tour guide in Malta!! - We have never had a Guide as lovely as Mark was in Malta. He picked us up at the airport the first day, took us touring the next day to. Valletta and Mdina, picked up our kids (having to wait for a delayed flight), drove us to our boat tour and did several kind favors for us while we were on the island. His van is roomy and air conditioned. Mark is a local and is so kind and patient and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Really well planned and Mark is awesome! - Mark was brilliant! If you can request people, request Mark! His contact the day before was awesome, and on the day he was really informative, knew lots of interesting facts about Malta; he was really flexible and friendly, he even had cold water for us! He had a plan for the tour but also adapted it to suit us! Thank you Mark for a lovely 4 hours

Amazing Malta - We had a great day with Mark. One in our party had some physical limitations, and Mark was very considerate and helpful, which made the trip enjoyable for all.

Only driver not a guide - Views were excellent however, our driver didn’t explain anything. Another group was in separate van with driver that was explaining everything. We had English as language and they changed it to English written and said we would get tour booklet. We asked the other driver who gave us 1 booklet to share.

Terrible "private tour" in Malta - Ralph was our guide. There were two couples on a private tour. He picked us up on time. After that, everything went downhill. He did not provide us with any narrative on our drive. He was able to answer most of our questions, but didn't talk about anything as we drove. There were several places mentioned when we chose to book this tour that we never saw, or even had the opportunity to see. He took us to a couple of places that were beautiful and great photo opps, but beyond that there was nothing to do. He dropped us off at Mdina and asked that we call when we were done, he said about 2 hours. When he picked us up there, after a 15 minute wait, he offered us two options for returning to our cruise ship and that was all we got. I would consider it more like a taxi ride than the "private tour" we paid for.

Worst Tour Guide - Our driver and guide Carmen picked us up on time. She did not understand us and had difficulty speaking English. She lives in Malta and could not tell us basic info about Malta which I as a traveller knew. She would drive us to a place and did not have any info for us. Did not know the cost either. All our questions were answered with a YES or NO. A total waste of our time. Please issue refund. All other Guides(4) were very good.

Get a better tour or just catch a tour cab! - This might have been the worst “tour” that I have ever been on. First. We started 15 minutes late. Then, our driver arrived. The car was a Toyota Corolla, which barely fit the 4 people we had even though one was an 8 year old child. They did have cold water. But no WiFi that was supposed to be included according to the listing. Which would have been amazing considering we did not have cell coverage on this island. So then the “tour” started. We were no lt given any options of where to go first. The “guide” had to look at the informational booklet to figure out what the place was called. On the way there, any questions asked were met with one word answers and she kept turning her music louder. We did get to see blue grotto, which was beautiful. She then took us to the little village below and encouraged us to take the boat tour, which we declined. But that would have added 30 more minutes to the tour. We then went to the cliffs, again beautiful. Our “guide” offered to take a group picture, but then just sat in the car. We then went to the temple. When I asked her what it was. She said “it is old.” From there me we went to Mdina. Beautiful fun city. We rode the carriage and the driver gave us a ton of information, which was welcomed especially considering our “guide” gave us none. Then we went to the church with the bomb in it. We did the quick tour. Upon exiting the church, it was around 1. I asked her was was next. She told us the tour was over and that she would be returning us to the port. She never told us any time frame. She told us most places to stay longer than we did. And then when it was 1, it was just over. At that point, we happily went back to the port to get away from the tour. Such a disappointing experience. We felt that we should have just paid for a cab tour as we probably would have gotten more from that, or at the very least, the exact same experience. Our “guide” most likely struggled with English, but that was not the expectation and she made zero effort to make it a better experience. Such a shame for a beautiful city with a rich history that we would have loved to have learned about. Find a better tour!
