Excellent way to see the...
Excellent way to see the island. Six hours or so to see several sites. Joseph has a route planned but this can be adjusted. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Much better (and probably cheaper) for two people compared with cruise line coach tours
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

fabulous tour of Malta
Joseph was on time and offered a great deal of information about Malta and the sites and neighborhoods we were visiting. He included several stops where we witnessed a glass blowing and stop for a wonderful lunch by the sea. The car was clean and comfortable and his driving skills were excellent. We would highly recommend joseph as an alternative to being crammed on a tour bus. The trip was customized to our interest in needs.

Excellent tour with Joseph
We had the private tour of Malta with Joseph today. Joseph was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We had a great time with him. He took us to a seafood place for lunch and it was very fresh and delicious. We saw so many places today in this private tour and some of them we wanted to come back. Joseph provided all the information to us and made sure we knew where to go. Highly recommend this tour with Joseph. We will book with him again when we come back to Malta.

Great day in Malta
Joseph our guide picked us up right on time and took us to all the places we had mapped out and even added a couple places. He saved us time in places because of his connections and was fun to talk and hangout with for the the day. We would highly recommend this tour if you want flexibility and want to see everything in a day. Thank you Joseph

Why this scores 79
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 Valletta.
How much does Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) cost?
+
Prices start at $270 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 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 Valletta is not rushed.
Is Private Chauffeur Island Tour of Malta ( Fully Customizable ) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 176 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Valletta, 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 62 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 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 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 The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group, Valletta City Walking Tour. 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.
