Highlights:
Visit the Island of Gozo, the sister island of Malta and see breathtaking places in Gozo with free time for shopping with Gozo's famous woolen goods and handmade lace.
On the 17th August I did the day trip to Goza, and the pick up was prompt, from my Hotel at the Santana, Qwara. However, after the drive to the ferry crossing, it all seem to go down hill with the organisation. Our guide was ver pleasant. However, we all split up from out tour group, at her suggestion, and then were to reconvene once the ferry docked. Upon disembarking, it was chaos - I was not able to find the guide/bus easily, and the doors of the coach were just closing, as I made it on the bus. The guides voice even with the microphone was not easy to follow, and a few people next to me commented also to this effect. The tour was disappointing. We did not do any of the ancient temples, which would have been very interested, and the bus either disappeared and came back to collect us, or the a/c was switched off as the driver was not present. So, a very hot day, waiting outside for the driver to return or the bus. The lunch was excellent, really good, but all in all, I would not recommend this trip. Again, there was disorganisation when we arrived back in Malta via the ferry - several people were walking up and down, looking for their mini bus. I eventually found mine and was very relieved. I feel that the guide should actually keep the group together more, especially when taking the ferry.
