Why you’ll love this…

Discover Gozo and it's unique character, history and landscape.
Visit all the popular landmarks of Gozo such as the Citadel in Victoria, the famous Inland Sea in Dwejra, Xlendi Bay and Ggantijja Temples.
Enjoy a delicious lunch together with a spectacular cultural experience.

What to expect

While enjoying your lovely holiday in Malta, one cannot miss this fantastic full day excursion to Gozo which is only a twenty minute ferry crossing away. As soon as we set foot in the pretty Gozitan port of Mgarr we will notice that although both islands are similar in history and development, Gozo has a character entirely of its own.

We can see that Gozo boasts of more greenery than Malta with its hilly landscape and picturesque countryside, making it an island full of charm waiting to be discovered. In this excursion we visit all the popular landmarks of Gozo such as the Citadel in Victoria, the famous Inland Sea in Dwejra and the rocky cliffs in Xlendi Bay.

Also included is a delicious three course lunch together with a spectacular cultural experience with a visit to Ggantijja Temples (except on Monday) which are known to be the oldest freestanding temples in the world. Since Gozo is well known for its woollen goods and handmade lace, honey and cheese we will also visit the market where we will have free time for shopping and to sample all these at first hand.

Marsaxlokk Sunday Market & Blue Grotto with Local Guide

Leisure is the name of the game on Sunday mornings in Malta, and this shopping and sightseeing trip makes the most of Malta's scenery and local culture. You'll head to Ħaġar Qim Temple, gaze at the renowned Blue Grotto and visit the fishing village of Marsaxlokk to stroll around its weekly market. Micheal, one of our expert local guides, says, 'If you like to eat fish and seafood, Marsaxlokk won't disappoint. It's packed with great restaurants and market day brings the freshest produce to town, much of it picked or caught the same day.'We'll kick off with a visit to the historic Hagar Qim Temple. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is over 5,000 years old and hints at how Malta's first inhabitants lived on the island. Then, it's on to one of Malta's most famous natural sights – the Blue Grotto of Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It's a 50-metre-deep natural cave with a huge arch that stretches out to sea. The caves get their name from the light reflecting off the water, which creates a dazzling blue colour. An optional boat trip into the grotto is available.You'll reach Marsaxlokk – one of the most picturesque spots in the country – just as tummies to begin growling. This quaint fishing village hosts a large market down by the waterfront – make sure you check out the colourfully painted ‘luzzu' boats floating in the harbour. As well as freshly caught fish, there'll also be locally grown fruit and veg, Maltese wines, cold cuts, cheeses and leather goods. Enjoy free time here and tuck into what takes your fancy.

Small-Group Tour of Gozo with Victoria and Ggantija Temples

Gozo and Malta are separated only by a narrow channel, but the differences are eye-catching. Gozo is greener, more laidback and sparsely populated. Get the lowdown on the island on this adults-only small group tour with visits to the Victoria Citadel, Ta'Pinu Basilica and Dwejra Bay. Yohanna, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The mosaics at Ta'Pinu are a recent addition, dating from 2017. They feature 20 mysteries of the rosary mounted on four circular walls in what had previously been an unsightly car park.'After a short trip by ferry to the island, you'll head to Qala Point first, for unobstructed views over the Maltese Archipelago. Then, it's off to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ggantija Temples, which pre-date the Egyptian pyramids. The historic theme continues at the medieval Citadel of Victoria, the island's capital. Yohanna says, ‘Victoria was originally named Rabat, however, to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1887, its name was changed. You'll see lots of British influence here, due to it 164 years under British rule.'Next up is a visit to the salt pans, to see how salt is harvested on the island. After stopping for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients at a traditional Gozitan restaurant, you'll head to Ta'Pinu Basilica, where you can grab some Insta-perfect snaps. Last but not least, you'll visit the impressive geographic features in and around Dwejra Bay – the Fungus Rock and the Inland Sea lagoon.

Malta small group tour of Mdina and Mosta Basilica with lunch

Central Malta is steeped in history and tradition. Its medieval cities, ancient temples and staggering scenery hold the secret to the island's rich past and customs. On this adults-only small group tour you'll see Mediterranean views from Dingli Cliff, the walled town of Mdina and Mosta Basilica. Matteo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Mdina is possibly the best-preserved ancient walled city in Europe. It's known as ‘the silent city' for its peaceful streets and old-world atmosphere. The city is a beauty, built with stone that glows in the sun, and it's packed with cultural treasures.'First up you'll head to the towering white Dingli Cliffs – they're the highest point on the Island and deserving of a photo stop. Then you'll continue to fortified Mdina for a guided walking tour. Its old town, protected by ancient walls and a moat, offers a peek into the Malta of past centuries. After visiting Mdina you'll head to a traditional glass-blowing factory in Ta' Qali for a chance to see the artisans at work, creating everything from paperweights to perfume bottles.A menu of mouthwatering Maltese food will be served for lunch at a nearby restaurant, before finishing the day with a guided tour of the Mosta Basilica. This 19th-century church is famous for having the third-largest unsupported dome in Europe, but it's not just it's size that impresses. The delicate décor of gold, white and blue will have you gazing up until your neck aches.
