Christopher our driver, made our Malta day tour sensational. A very knowledgeable, informed young man that knew the history of Malta in depth who portrayed the historical background into what we saw for the first time.

Christopher was an amazing driver and guide. Very knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure that all of our days in Malta would progress smoothly. Including showing us exactly where our next day trip would be. His stop at a speciality shop for us to sample traditional Maltese snacks and water and tasting of local beer. He was also willing to alter route to accommodate anything we wanted. He gave us wonderful additional information to use for the remainder of our stay on the island including how to be transported from one location to another and finding best traditional Maltese restaurants and what his recommendations for sampling the food. Would highly recommend this tour for those that ensure learning about ancient civilizations within Malta I would also comment that he added additional interesting stops as we were progressing through the day This private tour was enchanting both in stops offered but also for the great guide.

A fantastic day out. A private tour tailored to your individual needs in an air conditioned Mercedes. Nothing was too much trouble for Christopher who went back to one of the sites to retrieve my watch that had fallen off during my visit. Christopher was charming, v knowledgeable & an excellent driver. The Neolithic sites were awe inspiring & the Blue Grotto was a view you would never forget.

This was a fantastic day tour. We learnt a lot! Christopher was the perfect guide - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful at all times. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Our guide Christopher has perfected an approach to this tour of several prehistoric sites near Valletta that made available to us much of the available research on Malta's prehistory while allowing us as tourists to set the pace and decide how deep we wanted to dive into the topic. In addition to sharing with us his knowledge of that prehistory, he provided us with recorded audio guides that explained what was known about what we were looking at each prehistoric site. We were free to take as much or as little time as we wanted at each location. He also provided us with a choice of restaurants for lunch at our expense. He was always ready when we were ready to ride to our next activity in his Peugeot. We appreciated that the tour was as relaxing as it was informative.

Tasia_P

An excellent trip with our very informative guide Christopher. He answered all our questions and waited patiently at the stops. The stop at the Blue Grotto was beautiful!

Thomas_K

Our guide Christopher provided us with a fantastic experience. He is passionate about his home and its history and by sharing that passion we got a much deeper appreciation for the various cultures that contributed to the evolution of this island nation. We found this guided tour truly enriching and it helped make our visit to Malta more special.

An excellent day out! our driver and guide Christopher met is outside our hotel in Central Valletta bang on time despite the hotel being in a pedestrian area! He outlined the day but was flexible to allow for our wishes. We were taken to all the main archaeology sites in Southern Malta, including some extras: a site not yet fully open and a prehistoric cave! We were allowed sufficient time to explore without being rushed. We also visited fishing villages and viewpoints and had ample time for lunch. We were able to bypass any queue, although it was not high season, and get really close to the monuments. The provided audioguide was informative, and Christopher filled in details from local knowledge and told us about local life and customs. We were dropped off bang on time although he would have been flexible if we wanted to see anything else or be dripped off elsewhere.
