Highly Recommended - Chris was extremely professional and accommodating during our full-day tour of Valletta, the Blue Grotto, Mdina, and Dingli Cliffs. It was a wonderful and memorable experience as we visited many well-known tourist spots as well as some hidden gems. He is passionate about his country and has great knowledge and experience; he shared a lot of fascinating history and cultural insights about Malta. We all found the tour informative and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Additionally, Chris arranged for us to have lunch at a lovely fish restaurant overlooking the Blue Grotto.
I would highly recommend Chris’s personal tours, and I intend to return to Malta. I would happily reach out to Chris again to explore all the places we didn't have time to visit.

Don't hesitate and book your private driving tour - We travelled as a family with teenagers and wanted to get the best experience while keeping the teenagers engaged. This tour absolutely achieved that. Chris was absolutely awesome, willing to work with us and customize based on our needs. He picked up on our interests and conversation in the car and further tailored the tour for us. As an added bonus Chris has an in depth knowledge on the history of Malta and even though we are of Maltese descent we learned so many new things. Thanks for giving us a beautiful experience

Don’t think twice…get it booked! - Had a wonderful, memorable experience on this tour. He took us around Malta for the day, we visited lots of different places with the usual tourist haunts but also some hidden gems. He is a local and has great knowledge and experience, he knew a lot about history and the culture of Malta….we found it fantastically informative. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he really looked after us and even booked a nice local fish restaurant which was very good. If you want to explore Malta then this is definitely the way to do it! Big thanks to Chris…top bloke!

Pure Maltese Hospitality & Knowledge! - We booked a FULL day with Chris in advance of our arrival in Malta. His communication throughout the booking and planning phases were timely and detailed, even in the middle of adding a new baby to his family!
Chris was also very flexible in advance, and day of. While he has a "standard" full day tour, we had identified a winery we wanted to include, and had surprisingly got tickets for the Hypogeum (VERY limited only allowing 80 people per day). All of that said, he started with us early than usual at 8 am, and arrived at our hotel exactly at 8 am!
From St. Julian's we headed to Mdina...while not everything was open first thing, it was magical being able to photograph the "Silent City" with the streets empty, and it was truly silent with no others around. The early walk through Mdina also helped with the brutal summer heat!
After Mdina we headed to our 10 am booking at Markus Divinus winery...even Chris was not totally familiar with the winery and had never been there. They only make 5k bottles per year and outside of the tasting room the only place to find them are in Malta's Michelin Star eateries...highly recommend a visit - book in advance!
After the winery we made a quick stop at the Dingli Cliffs for a magical view and then pushed on to lunch at the Coast @ Cassarini Restaurant overlooking the Blue Grotto.
From lunch we rushed to the Hypogeum, an underground temple which pre-dates the Egyptial pyramids. Again, this is a MUST to book well in ADVANCE - only 10 tickets per hour, 80 a day are available to maintain the conservation of this historic place. Even Chris was shocked we had secured tickets.
Post-Hypogeum we doubled-back to the Blue Grotto for a boat cruise - this blew us away! We thought it might be a bit of a tourist trap, but the boats take you INTO the caves - it was magical!
To accomodate our needs, we missed out on Rabat and the catacombs, Mosta Church, Limestone Heritage Park and the Hagar Qim. If we had more time and/or a more open itinerary we would have added another day with Chris, but unfortunately, that was all the time we had to spend with him! Before we said our goodbyes, Chris gave us a few tips and tricks for the remainder of our itinerary.
If you are looking for a day of pure Maltese hospitality and knowledge, Chris is your guy!!!

Book Chris right now! - I can’t say enough good things about our private driver, Chris. More than just providing exceptional service, Chris is an extraordinary person who goes above and beyond in every possible way. I’ve traveled to more than 30 countries, and I can honestly say this was the best tour I have ever experienced.
My family arrived in Valletta, Malta on a cruise ship and wanted to do a quick load of laundry before starting our day (the ship was charging $3.50 just for socks, each item had a separate price!). Without hesitation, Chris offered to take us to the nearest laundromat. But he didn’t stop there, he actually paid for the service and folded our clothes while we explored the local sights. That level of kindness and thoughtfulness is something I will never forget.
On top of that, Chris is funny, patient, and simply an enjoyable person to be around. He took us to the best areas in Malta, tailoring his recommendations to exactly what we were looking for, including shopping, sightseeing, and local gems only a true insider would know. Every stop was perfectly planned, and his knowledge and passion for his beautiful country shone through the entire day.
At the end of the tour, I didn’t even realize I had left an item behind. What had to be 15 minutes later, Chris somehow located me at the port and handed it back to me—from the other side of the gates! Truly incredible.
I fully intend to return to Malta and will absolutely contact Chris again for his private driver services. If you’re considering booking him, DO IT. You will not regret it. It was an honor to have him guide us, and I am truly blown away by the unforgettable experience he gave my family. Thank you so much, Chris! You are a treasure!

Visited Malta with the best guide - The view of the places that Chris took us to, were amazingly beautiful. We were able to take pictures that would be everlasting memories.
He had knowledge of every place at the back of his hands.
Chris was an excellent tour guide. He arrived promptly, on time, pleasant, kind, very caring person, answered every question intelligently and took time to explain things.
His car was clean, comfortable, well air conditioned, which was necessary in Malta, which was a very hot country.
He was also an excellent driver.
I felt that Chris was extremely friendly, a great communicator and treated us more like "good old friends ", rather than customers.
I want to give an example- when our time was up, he dropped us off in town, we said our goodbyes, as we wanted to explore the rest of Valletta, on our own. To our surprise, we saw Chris at the other end. He had waited at the only entrance leading back to the Ship, just to make sure we found our way back to the Ship, to ensure we did not get lost.
This level of dedication and commitment is unmatched by tour guides we have met previously.
If there were more than 5 star ratings, I would give Chris more than 5 stars.
I would call on Chris again, if we were to return to Malta for any reason.
Keep it up Chris.
