Malta Cultural, religious historic sites Trips

JohnPaul in Gozo & Malta was very organised & shared his vast knowledge with the group. He used WhatsApp to ensure we knew what was happening each day. In Malta, some of the days could've been made shorter when it was very hot & a few tour members weren't well. Eg: wd could have missed the Presidential garden. In Sicily we had a fantastic experience with Danielle. Again he was well organised, hsed WhatsApp to keep us informed & shared his knowledge together wiith insider tips. He always gave us a preview to towns in the bus & escorted us to ensure we had an initial understanding of the towns & what we could do. He made extra effort to look after us eg: when I was sick with a sinus infection, he organised a bowl of vegetable soup for me instead of the set menu & when my friend was having difficulty with the Mt Etna hike because the guide was too fast on the uphill hike & didn't allow a stop, Dabiele escorted him at a slower pace so he could continue the experience.

The tour was very easy paced with highlighted sites - for a first time visit it covered the main sights/ history for those who don’t want to do their own research & with sufficient free time for personal exploration, there was a balance for when the group has people who walk at a much slower pace The hotel was great, location views amenities - roof top bar in the evenings was a hit with us! The tour leader was knowledgeable as were the daily local guides ( a bit of repetition of information/ history) The optional tours were expensive & as Malta is a tourist destination there are a lot of alternatives to the same sites so look around

The scenery in both Malta and Sicily was stunning! The itinerary was excellent! The pace was tiring but it was a level 3. I would have preferred to go in April so it would have been a little cooler but April was filled. But overall it was an excellent vacation. We saw so much. The hotels were lovely! The last hotel, Excelsior Palace, was an older hotel but very upscale. I would have preferred a shower instead of a bathtub. But that's a minor detail.

This trip was fabulous. The itinerary, activities and accommodations were great. Our tour guide John was personable, organised, well-informed on Malta and Gozo and passionate in sharing his knowledge. I doubt that I could have enjoyed the trip more. 10/10

Gozo was calm and relaxing, Malta was full on, but wherever we were or whatever we were doing, Althea, our guide was there with history, insight and humour. She went above and beyond and I think we all had a fantastic time. I loved the history, the boat trips and the food.

We just returned from a wonderful trip in Malta. A jam packed week of history, culture, architecture and food in this lovely beautiful country totally exceeded our expectations. Our illustrious leader promised on our first day and boy did she deliver. So much to see and brought to life by animated Althea. After traveling to more than 70 countries I can honestly and confidently say she is one of the best tour leaders we’ve experienced. She kept us totally engaged and entertained with her personal experiences and KNOWLEDGE. Malta can’t have a better ambassador and Explore Worldwide a more competent representative. We always felt safe, taken care of and enlightened. Thank you Althea for such an amazing experience in your incredible home country
