  • 3The good and the bad

    Bad- the food didn’t look very good for lunch and so we went out and bought our own. At the end of the day, they didn’t drop us off at the correct drop off point, when we told the driver we weren’t at the drop off point we selected he essentially kicked us off the bus. Which led to an hour walk back to our airbnb in serious heat. We assumed he did this because he wanted to finish the drop off route as quickly as possible instead of *correctly*. So if you book this tour, be aware if they are rushing you may not be dropped off where you selected and will have to find your way back. Good- -The blue lagoon was beautiful although we didn’t go in the area you see on social media with the pineapple drinks and the ledges for photo taking, we were on a boat and basically in the middle of it with just water and other boats surrounding us. -learning about the city of gozo was really nice, lots of culture.

  • 3Depending on your pickup...

    Depending on your pickup point, the shuttle ride (such as ours from Valletta) was almost 2 hours. Our tour guide, George, a native of Gozo, was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about his island. We explored Gozo from one end to another, from towns to beaches and even a hilltop castle which was our favorite stop (we could have spent more time there easily). I found lunch so-so and wish they’d offered more authentic dishes. Other than my quibbles about lunch and the long bus ride before the tour even began, we had an adventure-filled day zipping along the roads in the open-air buggy.

  • 5Awesome full day tour of Gozo, Malta - Rowena Rocks!

    Rowena is a complete riot and joy to be around if you are lucky enough to get paired with her as a guide to everything on the island of Gozo. She kept us comfortable, informed, and laughing. I had the best day! Thanks Rowena!

  • 3Gozo a must see (tour maybe not so much)

    Very welcoming and organized arrival at port. Sadly our guide spoke Spanish to his two front passengers the ENTIRE trip. So literally no tour information. Which was probably more disappointing than the ‘buffet’ lunch. I had low expectations for the lunch as I had seen previous reviews rating the lunch poorly. So my expectations were matched maybe even exceeded. It was great being driven around although the vehicle itself is very noisy so not sure how our driver would have communicated with us if he decided to include us in the tour info in English as booked. Also the back seat gets extremely hot under your butt. It became quite uncomfortable at the end of the day.

  • 4Thanks Ian and Charlo for the best trip

    We had 3 guides, and if you want an informative and fun trip ask for Ian or Charlo, avoid David who is not the best. Ian and Charlo gave us the best day. So much fun to see the island in buggies. Great trip and we would highly recommend it. Even though Ian supports Manchester United.

About Mellieħa

Mellieħa is a hillside village at the north-western end of Malta, above one of the island's longest sandy beaches, with sea views towards Gozo.

Mellieħa stands on a ridge at the north-western end of Malta, the last sizeable village before the ferry crossing to Gozo. Close to its parish church, a sanctuary to the Virgin Mary that began as a natural cave has drawn pilgrims for centuries, and the Red Tower, a seventeenth-century watchtower, stands on a nearby hill. At the foot of the ridge, Għadira Bay curves around a wide, shallow beach, one of the longest on the island.
