After a short twenty-minute ferry crossing you will reach Mgarr harbour, which immediately sets the pace to Gozo’s unique atmosphere.

Gives an overview of Gozo
The boat trip in Diwari was something unexpected it- if I had known the sea was so rough I would not have gone because I get seasick guests must be informed properly in advance and be advised of an alternative. The included meal was mediocre . Our guide was good and Vitoria and the Citadella were great as was the archeological site at Girganti . More archeology better food otherwise don’t include it why not local delicacies or even tasty snack food . A good overview of Gozo

Very disappointing
Pick up went well ,but once we got to the ferry it was chaotic to say the least. The allocated rep we felt did.not engage with her audience and throughout the whole trip we.felt herded like cattle. The food provided was very poor.and there was.no provision for vegetarian. Also wine was.provided.however we didn't know what we were drinking as this was decanted into unlabelled bottle. Water was.not provided and.had to.be paid.for (4 euros) which based on cost.of trip not fair on non drinkers. We would not recommend trip to others.

Worth the trip for Victoria (Rabat) and the Ggantija temples
Pretty average English speaking tour. Some queuing and waiting for the ferry both ways but not too bad. Trip stops on Gozo - two out of the four were interesting: Victoria (Rabat) and the Ggantija temples were worthwhile and the lunch was meh. Our guide Celine was very knowledgeable and had a lot of good info to share. The bus driver Chris deserves a medal for negotiating the Gozo roads without incident.

Gozo island guided day tour from Malta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.
How much does Gozo island guided day tour from Malta cost?
+
Prices start at $91 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 Gozo island guided day tour from Malta take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Gozo island guided day tour from Malta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 54 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 Gozo island guided day tour from Malta?
+
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 Gozo island guided day tour from Malta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gozo island guided day tour from Malta?
+
Around 19 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gozo island guided day tour from Malta 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.
