“The Driver was 20mins late to the designated pick up point (annoying) but then we got transported up to the tip of Malta to a "boat" which took us across to Gozo - this part was a little underwhelming. However as soon as we stepped onto the Dock at Gozo, super professional and organized, transport took us to the Quads where we were met by Mark and Dave (our guides) brilliant guys, helpful and made the day fun. Touring round the island on the quads was amazing and we felt perfectly safe. Lunch stop was well organized with great food. Side Boat trip well worth while, Overall Great Adventure Day…”

“The trip was very well-organized. It's a lot of stops and starts with the transportation and sites, but the tour guides communicate the plans so well and they're able to herd the sightseers to so many beautiful places. The bus driver relayed lots of local history, and the spots we visited, particularly Remarkable Rocks and the animal park to pet the koalas and feed the kangaroos, were wonderful. The Australian sea lions were adorable, too. It's a long day and the sea was rough, but that's just the nature of the beast!”

“The small group pick up and tour itself were really good however at the end of the tour we were given tickets to a public bus which took 8 hours to return to Istanbul and stopped everywhere en route. We were not advised of this prior to joining the tour and expected to return in group vehicle. Because of this we did not take passports and so we're challenged at every stop by police as had no ID to cross regions on public transport. Very poor communication. Would not recommend at all.”
