The tours listed below can be customised to your specifications
There is so much to see and do in Malta and Gozo that for most it can be quite overwhelming deciding what to do and how to do it. Don't worry about this, I will assist you until you are 100% satisfied with your tour arrangements.
If you are visiting Malta for one day only I suggest that you consider one of our classic itineraries such as the Valletta, Mdina and Hagar Qim Temples tour. This itinerary is by far the most popular due to the diverse content which includes three important eras of our island's golden history. On the other hand you may have a specific interest such as Christianity, Archaeology, Order of St. John, Movies etc... which can be included in a customised itinerary designed just for you.
If you are visiting our islands for a few days or a week you have the time to plan your touring over a number of days. I suggest that you browse through the classic and special interest tours, also check out my suggested multi day tours and you should then have a good idea of what you want to include. Contact me with your request and we can fine tune your itinerary together.
