“Benny was our guide. We had such a fantastic time today. The sightseeing was brilliant, really knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to chat with. We had a good laugh throughout, and it never felt rushed or scripted. Lunch was absolutely fantastic, and a real highlight of the day. To top it all off, they surprised Thiago with a birthday tiramisu and a full sing-song in the tavern, which was such a thoughtful and joyful touch, completely unexpected and really made the day special. They were also great at suggesting photo opportunities and even offering to take photos of us, which we really appreciated.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 132 reviews · 1 day · from $35

Review of the Valletta to Gozo catamaran and hop-on bus tour, with ferry tips, route limits, sights, price value, and booking advice.

“Sjovt at se Gozo fra oven. Selve busturen var den største oplevelse, da kørslen var meget spændende og vi blev kastet lidt rundt. Et stop på nordsiden af Gozo aflyst - angiveligt grundet “road-construction”. Færgeturen hjem var en udfordring da de påstod vi kunne havde en enkeltbillet. Retur delen af færgeturen stod kun på dansk - så det var kun grundet virkelig intens insisteren at vi kom hjem uden ekstra pris. Den del var lidt utjekket.”

She was informative without being long-winded, was funny without being cheesy, and did a good job of keeping our group under control without sounding like a primary school teacher. The tour itself was fantastic value for money and the three cities absolutely beautiful.”

“Our tour met and exceeded expectations The stops were at Galatina, Otranto, Leuca, and Gallipoli. Our guide Stefano had decent command of English and was a caring and creative guide for us over the course of our day long journey. We began our trip with the Basilica of Santa Catarina d’Allessandria in Galatina, and that is where the creativity came in. On our arrival, there was a special Mass going on for local police forces, and while Stefano tried to talk our group in, the police outside would not hear of it. So with consent of the group, we agreed to return at the end of the day (even though…”

When It was run by Supreme tours, the boat driver was the guide and much more informative. For £17 however, its a great 1.5 hours to sit, have a few drinks, take pictures and juat relax. I would recommend it, yes.”
