Malta through the Ages Traveller Reviews

It was a totally enjoyable visit. I hadn't realised Malta was so interesting. We had wonderful guides in the person of Tom Duncan who organised the visit, and of the local guide Glorianne Mizzi, who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Maltese history, and was very clear and energetic. The hotel was spacious and very well-appointed with a great variety of places to eat and drink, and only 5 minutes away from the streets of old Malta. It has a large and beautiful garden which must be wonderful in summer, as there is not much green space in Valletta. The week was planned with a very good balance of concerts, architectural visits and meals, and enough time off to explore on our own. By the end of the visit we were all getting to know one another, and there was a very friendly atmosphere.

Tom Duncan is not only an alert and practised tour operator, but also most knowledgeable about music and architecture, which were the basis of our visit. Like some of the others in our group I do not walk very well, but I was helped by Tom and the coach drivers, and never made to feel a drag. Tom had firm but friendly control throughout.

A meticulously planned holiday that condensed all that was most important to experience into a few days. A comfortable hotel, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and well chosen restaurants for group meals.

Ciceroni take great pains over the planning of their holidays, choice of hotel and local guide.This all contributed towards a memorable few days.

An exceptionally well organised tour with visits to varied cultural sites that were quite breathtaking in there building over thousands of years ago to more recent times. Excellent hotel and restaurants. A nice touch by the agent having the menu with a small photo of the restaurant for every guest.

I have travelled with this tour operator several times and they are quite exceptional. The guides knowledge is simply outstanding. He presents each visit with true love and enthusiasm for the subject .

This was a cultural trip which focused on the island's prehistoric history, the role of the Knights of St John and the siege in WW11

Every thing was meticulously planned and the programme ran like clockwork. We had an excellent guide who went out of his way to ensure we were well informed. He was a fund of information and was the key to a successful trip.
