Malta Tours in July 2026

Too Many to mention. All were great. Favorites were Salina and Taormina. Could have had another day there Lest favorite was city of Palermo. Glad we were in the old city

First of all, our tour guide, Ivan, was an integral part in making this tour so amazing. This was my first time taking a tour with a small group of people on an international trip. This was the perfect sized group - we bonded immediately on the first night. Ivan went out of his way to make us all feel like family. My daughter and I both had a hard time leaving everyone when the trip was over. Collette should reconsider the hotel and location in Ragusa. We weren’t able to walk anywhere and the accommodations in the hotel were honestly not that great - Ivan did manage to get us all water bottles which was nice. Our tour bus driver Giuseppe also deserves a special recognition! WOW did he do a great job. I will say that one of the things that I appreciated about this tour, was the fact that it felt like we were supporting local businesses. There were many times where it felt like we were able to step back in time and immerse ourselves in the history and the culture of Sicily. .

Ivan was an excellent Tour Manager. He went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure we enjoyed our tour. The accomodations in Ragusa could have been better.

I have been on several Explore tours and they have always been good. This tour to Malta and Gozo, however, was exceptional. The hotels were good, the size of the party just right. However, the success of the tour was primarily due to our brilliant guide who had the local knowledge and skills to ensure that we visited each site at the premium time for our visit. Chantelle was superbly knowledgeable regarding the Island and its history, communicated this at just the right level and engaged brilliantly with all the guests with such dedication that we were assured of a great trip. Full marks to Explore.

We had a great time. We experienced so many different things about Sicily from gathering sea salt, visiting Greek temples, sampling ex-virgin olive oil, staying on the Island of Saline and visiting a caper farm. And many other interesting sites and activities. I wanted to stay longer and see even more.

Collette included so many things to see and do. Visiting Palermo was a great experience so much to see. Visiting Mount Etna and the side trip we had to savor the taste of freshly made ricotta cheese. Tasting Marsala wine. Especially Marsala gelato! The seafood is out of this world. I would go back to Sicily to visit the many other sites as wells as revisit the areas Collette included in their itinerary.
