What people love about touring Malta solo
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Malta, with Tourradar/Soleto Travel. It was well organised for me, with friendly drivers who were always on time. My tour guide, Emilio was fabulous, fun and just a fount of knowledge...I really enjoyed his company. The Hotel Preluna, in Sliema was a wonderful venue. Great location, awesome Buffet breakfasts and a very comfortable room. I also used the spa facilities. I was pleased with the excursions that I booked and the free time available to me also. I would recommend a tour like this to anyone.

Soleto Travel provided an exceptional experience! From seamless planning to attentive service, every aspect of our trip was top-notch. The team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. I highly recommend Soleto Travel for an unforgettable journey!
- Malta and Gozo Discovery
Our tour guide Chantelle was exceptional. Her knowledge of Malta's history, culture, flora and fauna and current life was more than comprehensive. Her passion, kindness and care was greatly appreciated by all on the tour. The only downfall for this tour was the poor quality accommodation on the island of Malta. The rooms were tiny (we didn't even have enough space to open our suitcases) - couples were given the same size rooms as singles. When you are staying at a hotel for 5 days, you should not be without tea and coffee making facilities, or a fridge - especially when there is no room service or a communal area to make yourself tea and coffee 24/7. All in our group agreed we would happily have sacrificed our stunning ocean views for a kettle, fridge and more space.Our bathroom had major problems - the toilet lifted from the floor at the base, the wall tiles finished inches from the door frame exposing the insulation and the hairdryer base lifted off the wall when you tried to get the hairdryer off. We asked for a room change within 20 minutes of getting to our room and realising it was far from acceptable for 2 people. Our guide Chantelle was very supportive of our situation and helped us deal with the hotel staff who even tried to tell us we should have ordered a bigger room. That was not within our power, that was Explore's job. We had even contacted the hotel 3 days prior to our arriving, to say we were on the end of a 6 week journey and had a large amount of luggage (we had booked an extra night there after the tour as we couldn't get a flight out on the day our tour ended.) It took 2 days and many conversations with the hotel duty manager to get the room changed. The second room was much better. Honestly, we loved the tour itself and the guide but the hotel in Malta wasn't much better than a youth hostel. The size and quality of the room and its lack of basic amenities really soured a dream trip.
What our customers ask about Malta Tours for Solo Travelers
What kind of accommodations can solo travelers expect on Malta tours?
Malta tours provide hotel accommodations with options for single or shared rooms designed to keep costs reasonable. Hotels like The Victoria in St. Julian's and Hotel Ta' Cenc & Spa in Gozo offer social spaces where travelers naturally gather. The locations are practical with properties like the Duke Boutique Hotel in Victoria positioned just 200 meters from the main bus terminal with views of Villa Rundle Gardens. A recent guest shared: "The accommodations were excellent throughout especially the rooftop pool at our St. Julian's hotel which became our group's favorite gathering spot."
Are there any Malta tours specifically designed for solo travelers?
The tours create natural opportunities to meet others through shared experiences. You'll join fellow travelers for wine tastings in Gozo group walks on the Dingli Cliffs and meals at local spots like the Fontanella Tea Garden in Mdina. Places like The Victoria Hotel make socializing easy with spaces like their rooftop infinity pool where guests gather naturally. A recent traveler noted: "Had a great time connecting with others in the group - Julia our guide was wonderful at bringing everyone together and creating a fun atmosphere throughout the tour."
Which areas in Malta are most recommended for solo travelers to stay?
Sliema and St. Julian's stand out as ideal bases for solo travelers. These areas put you close to dining shopping and transport options. Properties like The Victoria Hotel and the Waterfront Hotel give you central locations where meeting others happens naturally. According to a recent guest: "The hotel was great convenient location clean bright best breakfast ever. Staff efficient professional helpful organized and pleasant."
How safe is Malta for solo travelers?
Crime rates in Malta remain low with well-lit streets throughout tourist zones like Valletta and Sliema. Tours add an extra layer of security as local guides accompany groups to places like Mdina and the Three Cities. As one traveler put it: "I felt completely safe throughout the entire trip whether with the group or exploring on my own during free time."
What activities are best suited for solo travelers in Malta?
The tours mix group activities with free time. You can join walking tours through Valletta take boat trips to the Blue Lagoon or walk the medieval streets of Mdina. Cooking classes featuring local dishes and wine tastings at regional vineyards make meeting others natural. Visits to UNESCO sites like the Ġgantija Temples on Gozo let you learn while connecting with fellow travelers.
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Malta?
Plan your visit during spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather suits outdoor exploring and crowds thin at major sites like the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and Upper Barrakka Gardens. Booking data shows these months draw the most solo travelers with autumn proving especially popular. Hotels like the Plaza Regency in Sliema often offer better rates during these shoulder seasons.
