    Jackie

    Asked on September 18th, 2026

    I am a bit worried about the amount of walking. I am an active 81 year old that doesn't look 81. There is a major price difference in the June trips.

    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    • Explore!Operator•Written September 2026

      This is a moderate paced tour with some walking on most days with walking tours of Victoria, Zebbug and Mdina. On day 4, there is a guided walking tour (approx 5-6 hours of Valletta Old Town). The walks aren't strenuous walks however a basic level of fitness is required to enjoy this tour to the full amount.

      We currently have some of our departures which are part of our 20% Early Bird Europe offer which is why the pricing for some June departures is higher. If you are interested in travelling June, our 12th 2027 departure is part of the promotion and is on sale until September 24th for US$1940.00 in a shared room or US$2480.00 in a single room.

    Ben

    Asked on January 31st, 2026

    I am looking at your Malta and Gozo discovery tour starting on the 21st of March however it appears to be sold out. Is that the case or do you still have vacancy for one traveller?

    Price / Availability
    • Explore!Operator•Written February 2026

      Unfortunately the 21st March departure is sold out as we can only take a maximum of 16 travellers, however we do have 1 space left on 28th March departure if your flexible with your dates?

    Allison

    Asked on January 12th, 2026

    We'd like to combine a tour of Malta with a tour of Sicily. It looks like this could work if we do Sicily first. Our target dates for the entire trip are within the window of April 20-May20, 2025.

    Tour Details
    • Explore!Operator•Written January 2026

      We actually have a combination tour for our Malta & Gozo tour that adds our Classical Sicily tour with it. Our itinerary does the Malta & Gozo tour first, and then we provide a flight to Catania to participate in our Classical Sicily tour. We do have an April 25th - May 10th 2026 departure for this trip.

  • Y

    Yvonne

    Asked on November 25th, 2025

    Can you offer a sale price on this Oct departure?

    Price / Availability
    • Explore!Operator•Written November 2025

      The Black Friday sale that we have is only on selected tours and departures, regretfully it's not available to include on most October departures for this tour I am sorry. The nearest one with a discount would be 19 September or 31 October.

  • B

    Bill

    Asked on September 25th, 2025

    What time does the day 7 excursions usually end? We may need to leave that night

    Tour Details
    • Explore!Operator•Written September 2025

      The activities on day 7 finish at 20:00 at the hotel. So if you were to leave that night it would have to be a very late flight or you may have to miss activities on the final day.

  • H

    Helen

    Asked on August 25th, 2025

    Please can you offer one more spot. My husband and I are wanting to travel. I contacted Tour Radar and asked them to reserve 2 spots while we wait for confirmation as there were spots. They said not to worry and the spaces would be available. Now you say there is only one space left?????

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Explore!Operator•Written August 2025

      I am currently holding a space for yourself as the last space available. There are 2xpax who have not paid a deposit yet to confirm their booking so I am keeping an eye on that one for you and will let you know if they get released to us.

    • H

      Helen

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      When will you be able to confirm if the other spot is available? I didn't think you could hold a position without a deposit? I can pay a deposit as soon as you advise the position is available.

    • Explore!Operator•Written August 2025

      I am afraid the other passengers confirmed their booking overnight. They are British passengers who booked via a travel agent in the UK. I will release the single space I am holding for you currently as we are unable to confirm 2xpassengers for this tour and date.

    Joshua

    Asked on August 9th, 2025

    What is the basic price for this tour in October 2025 for a single traveller? I am aged 81, reasonably fit and healthy, living alone and looking after myself and my home. I am able to walk a moderate distance at a moderate pace, further with rest stops, but my balance is suspect, I'm not very confident on inclines and steps without handrails, and I use sticks for reassurance. Is this tour likely to be feasible/suitable for me?
