Every Monday and Friday!
After a twenty minute crossing, on setting foot in Gozo you will note that although both islands are similar in history and development, Gozo has a character entirely of its own. Gozo, which is a three hilled island, is greener and more picturesque than Malta. During this tour you will visit The National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta’ Pinu which is a Roman Catholic basilica and national shrine located 700 metres from the village of Gharb. The basilica is located in the edge of a cliff in open countryside which allows visitors to enjoy beautiful views of the area. You will then visit Dwejra Bay where you could see until 8th March 2017, a natural arch featuring a table-like rock over the sea. Here, you will also see The Inland Sea & il-Gebla tal-General. If weather permits, you can also purchase a short boat ride. A visit to a Crafts Shop is a must. At this shop you will see stone works, marble, traditional food, local lace and many other items. This is the perfect place where you can buy a souvenir which will remind you of Gozo. You will then visit Victoria which is the capital of Gozo. Victoria is the name given in 1897 by the British government on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, at the request of the Bishop of Malta, Mons. Sir Pietro Pace. However Gozitans still often refer to it by its old name, Rabat. The area around Victoria, situated on a hill near the centre of the island has been settled since Neolithic times. In the centre of Victoria lies The Cittadella, a historic fortified city. The Cittadella also called at The Citadel, is on Malta’s tentative list of future World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, who describes it as a small fortified town. An old prison is located within the city, as are the Courts of Justice. After this visit you will stop for lunch in a restaurant in Rabat. Finally you will drive to Mgarr Port via Qala Belvedere where breath-taking scenes can be enjoyed. You will then have a short ferry crossing back to Malta and will be dropped-off at your hotel.

My husband and I did this tour, it was an amazing day, we were picked up outside our hotel and taken to the ferry and dropped back at the end of the day.
Loved visiting the citadel it was amazing, there are so many great places to explore in Gozo. Went to the Azure window even though it’s no longer there you still get the fantastic views and the power of the sea is just stunning. Rabat was very quaint, loved exploring the local shops had lunch at one of the local restaurants, the local food was lovely.
Ta’ Pinu was beautiful. Great tour would definitely recommend doing it.

My husband and I were on Malta in the middle of May. Marina meet us at the arrival and was very cheerful and friendly. She helped us to choose what is the most important to see in 5 days we spent there. Also, she was always available and made our stay in Malta relaxing and full of activities.
Gozo was our first choice and it was amazing: church in Ta’Pinu, unbelievable blue water, beautiful silver jewelry made by local people, patisseries with ricotta cheese…That day was perfect and Marina made it possible for us.
I hope we will return soon and discover a lot of places we didn’t manage visit now.
With Marina’s help of course.
