Reviews Gozo Island
“It took a long time to get to the destination, sign all the documentation and get started - 2 and a half hours. The actual tour felt rushed and I didn't particularly feel the tour guide Mike was good. On the one hand we are told to take care as we are on roads with other cars but then told to rush and keep close to the the quad in front. Never mind allowing right of way to cars on roundabouts etc. Would not recommend! Suggest hire a private quad and go at your own pace to see what you want”
“Citadel & ruins Shopping experience was an exaggeration as only a one shop stop for 20 mins”
“Many thanks to Sadro.Excellent driver, excellent guide Excellent customer service .His salary should be increased”
“Really we enjoyed our Gozo trip. Our driver explained everything through out the tour and explored the maximum places. Our Vehicle was very old but did the job. It was the best part of our Malta trip. Thank you”
