Malta Tours in Summer

There was not one experience that did not disappoint being a great one. Marco the tour director I wish I could have him every time. Mt Etna I am glad I met you. Food out of this world. Hotels excellent.

The tour was just fabulous- so many wonderful sites and experiences. Our tour guide, Cinzia, was passionate, organized and knowledgeable. We were in good hands with our bus driver Danielle too. As favorite things go, 2 things come to mind, the olive farm of Nicola Clemenza. Tour & Food were really great. And seeing Mt. Etna out of our hotel room in the morning then going there followed by a special little lunch in a rather remote area was memorable. Even the sheep came by!

I gave the Plaza Regency (Regency Plaza) a "good" rating only bc the staff was not customer oriented & did not go out of their way. We had a few issues (showers not draining, towels not left in rooms on a daily basis), but there was a major issue, especially with management (specifically a female manager) bc we had picked THIS hotel bc we were coming in early before going to meet the group on our tour date. We had prior communications with the hotel requesting to leave our suitcases in the baggage hold for 2 days while going to Gozo as part of the tour & afterwards the tour would return to this hotel & we'd pick up said luggage. There were 3 of us. (We had been on a prior tour for 2 weeks with another company & didn't want to haul our luggage to Gozo.) The hotel responded positively that we could store our luggage for the 2 days, YET once there there insued a 2 day argument with management ensued whereby they refused to hold our larger luggage. Because one of our members knew the name of the person from previous correspondence, management finally relented, allowed the holding of our luggage, however, they would not take responsibility for it & they promised to reprimand the person giving the initial permission to hold our luggage. (This should not have been communicated to us, very unprofessional. ) This was a stressful beginning to our Malta excursion. Honestly, I have put this ordeal on Social Media with Expedia, Booking.com, Trip Advisor and on Facebook. I only mentioned the hotel, not the travel company. The travel company was excellent & had nothing to do with the luggage issue. What a shame bc there was nothing wrong with the hotel physically and it was in an excellent locale, it's just that the management was so bad. I travel 3-4 major trips around the world each year & have never encountered such abhorrent behavior on the part of any hotel.

to me it was a once in a life time experience. Everthing about Sicily was a wonder from people to food to history. All of this was shared expertly and enjoyably thru travel excursions, unique experiences with peoples and their food and expert sharing of history and information with our guide. I cant say enough about our guide. He quickly became the head of our family of travelers. He anticipated our needs and sought to fill them, he showed compassion to the travelers who needed more attention. His pride and knowledge of his country was shared with enthusiasm, and a bit of wimsy. He treated us to little surprises along the way to remind us of the culture and customs of his country. Truly memories to last a lifetime.

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. .
