Sliema Tours in May 2026

Discovery is the key ... and with Chantelle as our guide we certainly did that. A local who gave us personal insights to now as well as expansive history across the ages. Such a breadth of knowledge made it easy to Explore the different flavours of Gozo and Malta; food, drink, religion from neolithic via the Knights and Popes to current worship, political changes, wars across the ages, transportation, climate, enviroment, farming, architecture and nature ... and the odd boat trip or dip to cool down too. A full on 6 days of fun and so lucky to enjoy it with an amazing group that started as strangers, that ended up as buddies.

What an amazing country, great group - a good trip with a comprehensive itinerary - the guide Althea was so enthusiastic and knew the answer to all of our history questions. I'd recommend staying an extra day in Valletta at the end.

We have not travelled with Explore before but we would do so again. The itinerary was quite full and well organised. It was tight to fit in pool relaxation time! Our local Malta and Gozo guide, Althea, was excellent.

A fascinating trip into the heart of ancient and modern Malta and Gozo with a guide who was unfailingly considerate, humorous and informative about cuisine, culture and history and provided an insight into the thoughts and opinions of the island's inhabitants, as well as being well organised and efficient. Hotels were clean and comfortable, people generally friendly and courteous. Even the weather cooperated, bringing spring sunshine with cooling breezes

A great group and 2 fabulous guides really helped us to enjoy this trip. Loved our tour of the old city of Mdina, plus the 3 days on Gozo- salt pans, inland sea, our impromptu drinks in the village square in leiu of our missed ferry ride due to bad weather. Accommodation in Sliema was ideal- easy walking access to transport and beach, plus hotel was of an excellent standard.

This is a packed trip. Lots to see in gloriously sunny weather. Malta and Gozo are both full of great sights, culture, buildings, history etc. I think the itenerary could do with a review. Would have been nice to have a free afternoon to lounge by the pool and to have had more time in Marshallslokk (sp?) which is a pretty fishing village. We visited that at the end of the day and it would be better to have seen it earlier that day and to lunch there. The tour leader (Althea) was fabulous. So knowledgeable. It was great to be in the same hotel in Gozo for 2 nights and the same hotel in Malta for 5 nights.
