6 hour bespoke tour of the island
We had the best day with Albert as our driver and guide. The car was spacious and very clean. Albert texted the day before to confirm time and pickup which was appreciated. He was bang on time and we agreed what we wanted to do and asked for his input and timing of our itinerary to make the most of our day. Couldn’t have asked for more and would definitely recommend Albert to anyone wanting a relaxed day touring the island. Perfect 👍
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

Worth every penny! Albert is fantastic!
If I could leave Albert 10 stars, I would, 5 stars are just not enough! Albert was so incredibly knowledgable about the city, he was a great driver, and made sure we got to see everything we wanted to on our tour around the island. Albert was an absolutely wonderful guide. If you have one full day in Malta, this is the activity you should book!
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

A perfect day in Malta
Our driver and guide Albert provided a very comprehensive trip around Malta and we saw all the highlights including Valletta and Mdina. Albert is a local and very knowledgeable about Malta. He is a gentleman and assisted my husband with his wheelchair. We would highly recommend Albert and his tour.

Private Tour Around Malta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mellieha.
How much does Private Tour Around Malta cost?
+
Prices start at $228 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 Tour Around Malta 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 Mellieha is not rushed.
Is Private Tour Around Malta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 142 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 Tour Around 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 Tour Around Malta 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 Private Tour Around Malta?
+
Around 50 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Around 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 Tour Around Malta?
+
Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; English Guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour Around Malta include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 229 listed pickup locations in and around Mellieha. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Tour Around Malta offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour Around Malta?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Tour Around Malta wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
