    Our private tour of South Malta was an absolute highlight, thanks to our incredible guide, Lorraine. She was a true professional with a wealth of knowledge, ensuring we understood the rich history and beauty of Malta throughout the journey. The speaker in the van was a great touch—it made it easy to hear her fascinating explanations about the country as we traveled between sites. We had plenty of time to explore each stop without feeling rushed. Lorraine recommended a fantastic local spot for lunch where we got to try some delicious Maltese dishes—an authentic experience that added even more charm to the day! The Blue Grotto was absolutely breathtaking and well worth the €10 per person fee. The vibrant blue waters and stunning rock formations created a magical, unforgettable experience. We also visited Marsaxlokk, Hagar Qim Temples, and the Dingli Cliffs, all of which were spectacular in their own right. This six-hour private tour was the perfect way to see the best of South Malta, and Lorraine made it even more special with her professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an informative, well-paced, and truly memorable tour. Matt

    Malta Private Guide are the people to hire when in Malta. I had Vicky all to myself for the whole day! What a wonderful experience. Vicky was so knowledgeable and informative. She quickly adapted after realizing I was not interested in churches, which is hard to get away from when in a place of such vast history in Europe. She led me to some gorgeous architecture, which usually had a religious story or person connected to it anyway but the buildings, streets and spice shops were perfect! Once we got out of the city and into the countryside, I was so delighted! While the city is stunning, I am an outdoor nature girl and the cliffs, flowers, geography, cart ruts and Hagar Qim filled me with great energy, calm and peacefulness. The country side with the hand made walls, and terraces, are beautiful. We went to a small restaurant with a gorgeously colourful and happy owner for some great food near the Blue Grotto. We had the rabbit rigatoni pasta, which was delicious. Having traditional foods of the places I travel too is part of the experience and this hit the mark perfectly! Delicious! Again, Vicky got it right. Once the day was over and I said goodbye to Vicki (sad moment) Carmelo, our driver, took me grocery shopping and to my next hotel. He recommended a very good wine for my evening of relaxation. Vicky also got me set up with Carmelo, for a tour I really wanted to do 4 days later. She went out of her way to arrange things for me on my last day in Malta, making sure I was with someone I knew and felt safe and comfortable with. This is so important for a woman travelling alone. I couldn't have had a better day with better people. Vicky, you made my trip to Malta over the top and I will always remember it! Thank you so much!

    We had a cruise ship stopover in Malta and hired Malta Private Guide to provide a full day tour for our group of 5 adults. We had an excellent day, seeing everything we had hoped for! Peter was our guide and he was a wealth of information on the history of Malta and all the sights we visited. We would definitely use this company again!
