Valletta Tours in May 2026

I appreciated that there was a lots of free time after the tours that allowed you to explore on your own. The tours pretty much covered all of the main attractions. The hotel was 1st class and you were well catered for. The tour manager was very helpful and worked hard to ensure everyone was looked after. The local guide we had on the tours was very knowledgeable and ensured we understood the history of the islands. This was my first experience being part of a tour. I think because it was a small friendly group I had a wonderful time and will definitely do another Insight tour.

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

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.
