The Citadel
Victoria is the name given in 1897 by the British government on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, at the request of the Bishop of Malta, Mons. Sir Pietro Pace. However Gozitans still often refer to it by its old name, Rabat. The area around Victoria, situated on a hill near the centre of the island has been settled since Neolithic times. In the centre of Victoria lies The Cittadella, a historic fortified city. The Cittadella also called at The Citadel, is on Malta’s tentative list of future World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, who describes it as a small fortified town. An old prison is located within the city, as are the Courts of Justice.

RIP off tour
We paid 70 Eur for a terrible excursion, nothing in the brochure matched our tour .The train has not been running for months and instead we went to a citadel but couldn’t go in as a service was taking place. Each stop lasted less than an hour so no time to eat . We were made to pay more money to go on a 15 minute boat trip. Our coach and another pulled up at a tiny shop for the shopping experience- no room to go in, and the toilets were broken. The coach failed to pick us up after the temple visit, we had to stand in full sun for 45 minutes until it arrived which left only one hour in the capital of Gozo, a stressful day spent sat on a coach. Disgraceful, way to take money of tourists.

Rushed, ill-managed- a waste of a day!
Booked this through our tour operator as it was our honeymoon. Wish we hadn't as we lost a day to this. Firstly, the coach to the ferry was old and rickety, when the guide got off- she sprinted off and as we were last to get on- we couldn't remember who she was. When we arrived at Gozo and eventually found her (through asking other coach drivers) we were escorted on a boring tour to the temples where she sprinted off again and then talked for what felt like an eternity about the temples. When we eventually went in to look around, it was so packed you literally frog marched around it and there wasn't an awful lot to see! On to a small shop where over 50 people were given 15 minutes to look around - you couldn't move in there so we went back to the bus and after only 10 minutes started off again to our next destination - someone shouted that some passengers weren't back on yet so they reluctantly stopped to wait for them (thank goodness for them they had friends on the tour!!). The next stop we were offered the chance to pay for a boat ride but with that many passengers and the fear of being abandoned if we were late, we didn't bother - we had a drink and a comfort break instead! On to the Trackless train for a 3 minute drive up the hill (enough time to listen to one Abba track being blasted out) and then an hour to look around. We were totally bemused and frustrated by the experience and regret going. There are so many guided tours you can book on site where they ACTUALLY want you! we recommend avoiding this tour and this company's equally poor open bus at night tour and spend your precious time and money elsewhere!

Gozo Island
Bad organization od transport. Most of the time we spend on the bus and we did not see a lot. The tour guy was good he give his best, but we do not have lots of time for looking around.

(Not) Discovering Gozo
An unforgettable experience, but not in the way that you would hope. Land of the Lost 1. We were picked up from Valletta and boarded a ferry after an hour and a half journey picking up from other hotels. The guide provided no comprehensible information on the itinerary or where we were going and in what order. Two people weren’t picked up so the guide spent half an hour on the phone sorting that out rather than communicating any information. Panic Room 2. On arrival to the Temples we crammed into a small room (45 people) where we were unable to hear or understand what the guide was saying. He pointed out some displays but we were unable to see them as we were crammed in like sardines. I broke away and went around on my own as it was too claustrophobic. We were given a small amount of time to look around before meeting the guide outside, although we weren’t told that’s where we would meet him. Temple of Doom 3. Some of the group were told to go to another guide (based on spoken language), and we received a brief overview of the temples then had 10 minutes to go and look at the temples (although we only got time for the smaller side of the large temple, while the other group were able to go into the main part of the temple). This we were told is the oldest and biggest temple. This was an inadequate time to view such an important monument. Not enough time to enjoy or appreciate this and information communicated about it was both inadequate and incomprehensible. Catch Me if You Can 4. We arrived back at the bus and were told to get off. We discovered without being pre warned that the buses were going to be mixed to get particular languages on particular buses. We had left things on the original bus as we were not told we were going to swap buses. Rush Hour 5. Then we drove to the shrine at which we were given 20 minutes. A lovely shrine, but again no information provided. Nice to look at though. Got some photos. The Hunger Games 6. Then we got back on the bus and were taken to the ‘craft’ place. This is actually just a souvenir shop, where we were given 20 minutes for 45 people to be crammed into a small shop. This included food tasting however you couldn’t actually get to the food as it was a small stand and people were clearly starving. It was less “crafty” and more “crafty marketing.” Much Ado About Nothing 7. Then we got on the coach and went to the blue grotto where we had 40 minutes and those who wanted to go on the boats to see the grotto went off with the guide for a 20 min boat ride. We thought it would be a struggle to get everyone on the boat rides in the allotted time and needed a drink and a comfort break at this point so declined the boat trip which was optional. We weren’t told anything in advance about the location or the grottos, or how things would be organised. Time on the coach could have been used to better effect to organise and inform what would happen at stop-offs. A Brief Encounter 8. Then we headed to Victoria where we had 1 hour 15 minutes. Practically we had to use this for lunch and had no time to look around the city. We were told we had to be at a certain place at 3pm to get the ‘trackless train’. This wasn’t enough time to get lunch and see anything. We weren’t given any information on Victoria or any significant land marks. We had lunch and went to a couple of shops. Thomas the Tank Engine 9. The highlight of the trip was the kids train, where we went to a bus car park while listening to Cotton Eyed Joe and other classic Maltese music. This took us from Victoria to the Coach. Are We There Yet? 10. Then we got back on the coach to go to the ferry port. Finding Nemo 11. We got off the ferry and no one told us where we were going to get to the coach, we just had to try to find it in the car park. The guide said they would be at the exit, but they were not. I just walked and hoped for the best. On getting on the coach another victim of this trip asked me how I found my way to the coach, I said I put one foot in front of the other and hoped for the best. Once again the coaches had been swapped and there was confusion about who should be on what bus, with people having to swap coaches after getting on the wrong one. A Series of Unfortunate Events Not worth the money. If you want to see Gozo, you won’t see it on this trip. Not enough time at key monuments and no context for where you’re going. We found ourselves counting down the stops until we would be on our way back.

Why this scores 39
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mellieha.
How much does Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mellieha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mellieha is not rushed.
Is Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 39 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mellieha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mellieha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mellieha and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mellieha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mellieha?
+
On Outty we rank every Mellieha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Tour Around Malta, GOZO & Blue Lagoon Jeep Sunset Safari (Comino cave tour), Gozo Full-Day Jeep Tour with Private Boat to Gozo & return. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mellieha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mellieha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
