Malta Tours for Solo Travelers
Solo travelers give top ratings to our discovery tours, which mix cultural experiences with independent exploration time. Most tours run 6-8 days from Valletta where you can explore the limestone streets and stop at local cafes for real Maltese coffee whenever you like. We include guided walks through the Three Cities and Mdina's quiet lanes, plus you can choose to visit Gozo Island for swimming in tucked-away coves. Our solo guests tell us they love how the tour balances group activities with free time, and many say the local guides are great at suggesting authentic restaurants and peaceful spots that tourists usually miss.

What people love about touring Malta solo
- Malta Highlights 4 Day Guided Tour
Exceptional experience with Soleto Travel! Their attention to detail, knowledgeable guides, and seamless arrangements made my trip unforgettable. From start to finish, they exceeded expectations. Highly recommend for a stress-free and enjoyable travel adventure!
- Malta and Gozo Discovery
Wonderful trip. Our guide Chantal was very knowledgeable, friendly and caring.
- Malta and Gozo Small Group 8 Days Tour
Good guide - Dennis - and drivers. Loved the itinerary. We learned so much about Malta - we had no idea how great Malta is! The hotels were lovely. We would like to have had a guide on the day that we returned to Malta from Gozo. Our driver only had a few words of English and we didn't have any Italian, so that was difficult for us all. He did the best he could and we appreciated that.
