All the hotels were good. The hotel on Gozo was exceptional, we would love to have spent more time there, but so much to see and do. Soleto travel were excellent with a very well- planned itinerary, and Omar responded quickly to any queries. The tour guide, Dennis, was extremely knowledgeable on the truly interesting history of the islands. Claudio, our driver was always prompt and courteous. We had an extremely enjoyable holiday, and feel we now know Malta and Gozo so much better, thanks to our guide.
