    5. Blue Grotto Il-Hnejja

      The Blue Grotto is located on the southern coast of Malta, west of Wied iz-Zurrieq facing the little deserted islet of Filfla.

The site is extremely popular, attracting some 100,000 tourists per year, also for diving purposes. The site also features in the film Troy (2004) starring Brad Pitt.

    Beautiful island with architecture, significant historical locals

    Beautiful island!! Kenneth knew exactly where to take us to maximize our time visiting several places on Malta. There was so much history there that we were totally unaware of it. The big monolithic stones similar down hinge. A wonderful restaurant/café with incredible views of the whole island. He also had an iPad with information on all the sides. That was very, very helpful. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful tour of Malta

    Kenneth was our driver and tour guide. He showed up on time and was very accommodating and patient with our wacky group. He took us to some really beautiful areas to offered to take our group picture in some occasions. Thank you Kenneth for a really wonderful tour of Malta!

    Unforgettable Malta!!!

    Roaming Malta with Kenneth has proved to be the best decision to explore this magnificent and full of history place. He was waiting for us at the cruise terminal. Car was very comfortable and clean. He took us to the Popeye’s Village per my request and waited for us while we visited this well kept movie set. After, we roamed the island with him providing information about everything we saw and multiple stops made for photos and to admire the views. Lunch was at The Cliffs where food was delicious. He even got strawberries for us to try and they were juicy and very sweet (thanks Kenneth!!). The road trip ended not before roaming through Valletta’s colorful streets and on time at the cruise terminal. I do definitely recommend this tour and if Kenneth is your driver you’ll be in for a great adventure.

    Private Driver to roam the island of Malta: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mellieha.

    How much does Private Driver to roam the island of Malta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $308 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 Driver to roam the island of Malta take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Private Driver to roam the island of Malta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 78 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 Private Driver to roam the island of 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 Private Driver to roam the island of Malta suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Driver to roam the island of Malta?

    +

    Around 27 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Driver to roam the island of 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 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 Driver to roam the island of Malta?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Snacks; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
