Elizabeth and Gordon Wood
Tours were excellent

Review for: Malta and its Islands

The last tour organised for us was Malta, where we stayed at the same hotel and each day there was an organised tour arranged for us. The organised tours were excellent and we enjoyed each of them. Our visit to the Blue Lagoon was interesting (and crowded) but it took some time for us to find out which boat we should board. None of our documentation had the name of the cruise company printed on it and as there were at least 3 different companies, we had to contact the supplier to confirm the correct boat. The daily transfers were all excellent as were both to and from the airport.

Review for: Malta and its Islands

We booked our Malta Trip in August 2022 for travel two weeks later. We booked direct with Sun Island and spoke with Olivia who advised us of the best place to stay in Malta as well as Gozo. This package was perfect, but we wanted to upgade to 5 star accommodation but the Palace wasnt available so they booked us at the Grand Macina which was perfect. Great way to see Malta. Highly recommend.
