About Malta


As operators of the Malta Excursions programme we have been successfully established for over 40 years providing a selection of the most popular excursions of interest to the visitor to our islands.

All excursions are conducted regularly in five languages: English, German, Italian, French and Dutch. Other languages such as Hungarian and Russian are catered for only in the summer months and we would be happy to give you full information on any specific language particularly if you form a small group. Our fully licensed and professional guides take pride in conducting a pleasant and informative tour and our itineraries have been designed through the experience of our long years of operation and feature the most interesting historical and cultural sites on the islands.

We wish you a happy holiday and look forward to welcome you on our tours.
