Question 1

Which tours are unmissable in Malta?

Accepted Answer

You cannot leave Malta without: Valletta (St. John's Co-Cathedral, Grand Master's Palace, Upper Barrakka Gardens), Mdina — the Silent City (a clifftop fortress), a boat trip to the Blue Grotto, the Three Cities by ferry (Vittoriosa, Cospicua, Senglea), and a day trip to Gozo and Comino. A guide gives you the historical context and helps you avoid tourist traps.

Question 2

How much does a day trip around Malta cost?

Accepted Answer

Group tours of Malta cost €30–60 per person for a full day. A private tour is €100–200 per person or €400–800 for a group (4–8 people). Blue Lagoon/Comino trips: €25–40/person (group boat) or €200–350 for a private boat. Gozo + Comino day trip: €50–80/person.

Question 3

Is the Mdina tour in Malta worth it?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Mdina, the Silent City, is one of the most beautiful places in Malta. A medieval hilltop fortress with a panoramic view of the entire archipelago. No entrance fee — strolling the cobbled streets is free. With a guide you'll learn about the Arab, Crusader, and Norman periods. Best in the morning (fewer tourists) or after 4 PM.

Question 4

What to see in Malta in 3 days?

Accepted Answer

Day 1: Valletta (St. John's Co-Cathedral, Fort St. Elmo, Barrakka Gardens) + Three Cities by ferry. Day 2: Mdina and Rabat + Blue Grotto and Hagar Qim (neolithic temples) + Marsaxlokk fish market. Day 3: Gozo and Comino (Blue Lagoon). Tip: rent a car or get a 3-day Hop-on Hop-off pass — Malta is compact and easy to explore.

Question 5

Are tours from Malta to Gozo worth the money?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! Gozo Channel runs from Cirkewwa to Mġarr (25 min, €4.65 return for foot passengers, car about €15.70 return). Without a car, fast ferries also run from Valletta and, since 5 May 2026, on the new Gozo Highspeed Sliema/Buġibba → Gozo route. A guided tour of Gozo costs €50–80/person for a full day with transport. Gozo is quieter, greener and very different from Malta.
