He's the best!
We had a wonderful day with Joseph touring around Malta. Joseph was extremely punctual, his car "Doris" :) spotless! Joseph is engaging and passionate about his island. He was very flexible, we were able to personalize our tour spending more time in certain areas and less time in others and skipping some which did not appeal to us. We had a wonderful and leisurely lunch at Joseph's suggestion and most importantly, Joseph knows who the boss is! ;) I would highly recommend Joseph if you're looking for someone who deeply loves their job and combines that enthusiasm with high expertise!

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide/ driver
Joseph took us to all the places of interest on the schedule and gave background info as we drove. The Blue Grotto was so congested though that we only had time for a quick photo stop. Stopped for lunch at Marsaxlokk at Unico restaurant . Lovely food.

Joseph was an excellent...
Joseph was an excellent tour guide. He knows everyone so he slips you past all the lines each place he takes you. Also lets you choose your stops and how long you stay. Highly recommend!

Great driving too many attractions
Joseph did an excellent job of delivering us right to the door of each attraction. Making sure we had the proper tickets entry fee, etc. We enjoyed his conversation and we saw everything that we hoped to see during our day. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for booking a private tour with us. We hope you had a lovely time, we enjoyed taking care of you and we value your custom. Please recommend us to your friends and family, we will be happy to look after them...... Kind regards/ Joseph

5/5 Stars – Incredible Experience with Joseph!
If you have a short window of time to explore Malta, booking Joseph as your private chauffeur is hands-down the best decision you can make! From the moment we stepped off our cruise ship, Joseph greeted us with incredible energy and enthusiasm, eager to show us the very best of his country in the four hours we had together. He walked us to his car, which was impeccably clean, comfortable, and a very welcome sight. Joseph is a master navigator who knows all the local shortcuts and secret spots to maximize every minute. Thanks to his impressive network of local contacts, we bypassed the crowds and enjoyed quick, seamless entry at several sites—saving us time that allowed us to pack in far more sights and experiences than we ever thought possible on a tight schedule. To top it all off, he guided us to a phenomenal local restaurant for lunch. As someone visiting from the Pacific Northwest in the United States, I have high standards for seafood, but the seafood platter Joseph recommended was easily one of the best I have ever had! Joseph is a true wealth of knowledge on all things Malta. There is absolutely no way we could have seen or enjoyed as much as we did without his expertise, local connections, and vibrant personality. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
Response from the operator: Thank you for booking a private tour with us. We hope you had a lovely time, we enjoyed taking care of you and we value your custom. Please recommend us to your friends and family, we will be happy to look after them...... Kind regards/ Joseph

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mellieha.
How much does Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) cost?
+
Prices start at $243 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 Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 200 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Mellieha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable )?
+
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 Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable )?
+
Around 70 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) 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 Malta: Gozo Full Day Buggy Tour with lunch and Comino Stop, Gozo All Inclusive Chauffeured Tuk Tuk Day Tour - Blue Lagoon, Gozo Quad Bike Day Tour - All-inclusive + Blue Lagoon. 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.
What is included in Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable )?

Does Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) include hotel pickup?

What languages is Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) offered in?
+
