Island of Gozo: Private Tour

4.9 (67 verified reviews)

About This Experience

The case for a private Gozo tour is not luxury, it is control. On a shared coach you see six stops in a fixed order for a fixed number of minutes each. Here you and the driver agree the route, and if the Citadel holds you for an hour and a half, it holds you for an hour and a half.

The vehicle is a modern air-conditioned car or van with Wi-Fi, which on a Gozo afternoon in August is worth more than it sounds. Pickup is anywhere on Gozo, confirmed twenty-four hours ahead, and the drop-off point can be agreed with the driver on the day. Four-hour and seven-hour options are available, and the seven-hour version is what you want if you intend to cross the island properly.

Be clear about what you are buying. The operator states plainly that the driver is not a professional tour guide: they recommend stops, photo opportunities and how long to spend, but this is local knowledge rather than licensed commentary. Entrance tickets are not included. The starting fare covers a group of up to three, which works out at $76 each — less than a seat on a shared jeep tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the driver a licensed tour guide?

No, and the operator says so directly. The driver is a local who recommends what to see and do and how long to allow at each stop, but this is not licensed guiding. If you want interpretation of the Ggantija Temples or the Citadel, book a guided tour instead.

How long is the private tour?

Four or seven hours, depending on the option you select at booking. Four hours covers the headline stops; seven is what you need to cross the island properly and still eat lunch.

Where does pickup happen?

Anywhere on Gozo you choose, confirmed with the operator 24 hours before. The drop-off point can be discussed with the driver on the day, which is useful if you want to end at a restaurant or the ferry rather than where you started.

Are entrance tickets included?

No. Any admission fees — Ggantija, the Citadel museums, the Dwejra boat — are paid separately on the day. Bring cash as well as a card.

Is a private tour worth it for a couple?

For two it is $114 each against $97 for a shared seat, so a small premium for the itinerary. For three it is $76 each, which undercuts the shared tour outright. Above three the operator moves you to a larger vehicle at a price it does not publish, so ask before you assume.
