Fantastic trip. Tour guide, Spartico, managed the group expertly so it seemed everyone enjoyed their experience....
Fantastic trip. Tour guide, Spartico, managed the group expertly so it seemed everyone enjoyed their experience. The pace was fantastic, and allowed for a relaxed approach to visiting the country. The experiences were nice, especially with the local guide, though I wish we had a local cooking experience instead of the chocolate and coffee tasting experience. The Gozo portion of the trip would have been better with a local guide. The hike that was included on the trip was awesome, and we did another hike on the free day, which was spectacular.Show more
