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.

Disappointment
Sold to us as a guided tour of Gozo, this was a disappointment. The guided part was the visit to the temples. The other stops were: a roadside view of the coast spent waiting for customers who they had failed to pick up, a car park at a place where a scenic geological arch used to exist, a gift shop, a large church to wander around by ourselves and being left in Vittoria for an hour. The scenic railway ride was a kiddies train that took us from the church to Vittoria along a rather bleak and then suburban landscape. At the start the guide failed to pick up 5 people as they were sheltering from the rain (and he never got off the coach to look for them) so we had to wait for them on Gozo and had to miss the Inland sea. If there are two of you I recommend doing this same tour using taxis. The ferry is less than 10 each return. Think in terms of the Bolt rides you can get for 60 € each.

Visit Gozo but perhaps build a personalised tour.
The pickup in Valletta (0925) was delayed, then caught in the traffic to Sliema and St Julian but we got to the ferry (1115). The guide's English was heavily accented and we struggled to understand her; an English speaking guide for the majority English speakers would have been preferable. It was rushed at various places, eg walked through the megolithic temple at pace. We were also on the same time as another tour making each location more crowded and rushed. We stopped at their preferred shop just down the road from the artisan village which reduced the time at the coast, which was unnecessary as there was plenty of shopping time in Rabat later. Then we are rushed to Rabat (and the guide left 2 people) to spend an hour and a half in Victoria and then rushed to the ferry port where we had to fend for ourselves. Both coach drivers were very skilled and smooth. The sound track in the 'train' was amusing but the carriages were unbalanced and swerved alarmingly at times. An unnecessary part of the tour given that the coach followed us back to Rabat anyway. Gozo is great. The tour not so much.

Completely disorganized;...
Completely disorganized; poor coordination for pickups, transfers, and among guides. Poor time management - no time for restroom breaks even!

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!

Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.
How much does Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Valletta 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 Valletta is not rushed.
Is Discovering Gozo Full Day incl. Guide, Train & Ggantija Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Valletta, 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 17 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 Valletta 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 Valletta 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 Valletta 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 Valletta?
+
On Outty we rank every Valletta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Valletta Food Tour, The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group. 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 Valletta?
+
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 Valletta?
+
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.
