“Our guide was exceptional, Johns knowledge and level of detail was incredible and his English was fantastic the guided tour through Valetta was so informative and interesting-St John’s Cathedral was overwhelming with such opulence and beauty and the Malta experience was again very detailed (although the AC for December was a bit cold for me - but thank you again it was overall superb and I have recommended GYG to other hotel guests too”
Taste pastizzi, ftira, Maltese drinks, and more while exploring Valletta’s history, food culture, landmarks, and local shops.
“We had a great time trying some Maltese, traditional and current food selections. The locations were diverse from coffee shops to open market. The Maltese cuisine is adopted from many cultures so it does lack a bit of originality. In my opinion, it is worth taking this tour as a guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Malta, including some specific points in Valaretta that proved to be very interesting. Overall, it’s worth the time.”

Review of Malta’s 4-hour tour to Marsaxlokk, Blue Grotto, and Qrendi, with practical tips on timing, markets, boats, guides, and value.
“Our guide Chantelle was amazing. Very friendly, funny and gave so much information. Very helpful! The driver (didn't quite catch his name) was also lovely. Had a lovely trip. Stopped at the Blue Grotto which was really windy but great to see. We only stopped for 10 minutes here but I'd rather have spent more time here, despite the wind, than in Qrendi. We spent ages here on a walking tour around the tiny town. We then only had about 1hr 20mins in Marsaxlokk which was just enough to get some food after spending too much time in a very long queue for 3 ladies toilets, only 2 of which…”

Kayak from Gozo to Comino, explore caves and quiet coves, swim in clear water, and enjoy a small-group adventure with expert guides.
“My two teenagers and I had a wonderful adventure with kayaking! Our tour guide, Laura, was a fantastic instructor. We were in a small group with another family of four, and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed visiting beautiful swim spots, including blue lagoons and small caves. Laura even took lots of photos and videos to share with us right after the tour. All the other staff were very friendly, kind, and helpful. We stayed in Malta for one week, but this was definitely the best experience of our vacation. Thanks again, and we look forward to another day out there!”

Jeep tour was really interesting & the guide (Steve) was very engaging. One of our party had a fall & this was dealt with really well by the guide. The buffet food was delicious & plentiful. We really enjoyed swimming in Crystal Lagoon & Blue Lagoon. A great trip, we would highly recommend it.”
