Malta Private Tour-Fully Customizable (Cruise Friendly)
Overview
Explore Malta your way with your own private car and friendly local driver. No coach crowds, no fixed script — just your group, your pace, and a local who knows the island like home.
After you book, we contact you to plan the day together. Tell us what you’d love to see, or let us suggest a route. Popular stops include Valletta, the Three Cities, Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto, Ħaġar Qim, Mdina, Rabat, Mosta and Dingli Cliffs. You can change plans on the day too.
Cruise passengers: we meet you at the Valletta cruise port and plan the day around your all-aboard time.
Please note: we are local drivers, not licensed tour guides. We share stories and tips in the car, drop you close to each sight, and meet you nearby while you explore.
Group size: price covers up to 4 guests in an air-conditioned car. For 5–8 guests, choose the van option when booking, so the full price is clear upfront and nothing is paid on the day.
