About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chafra70 contributionsThank you Benny!Wonderful day touring Gozo by quad bike. Our guide Benny was very well informed and knowledgeable regarding this beautiful island. If you want super fast off roading then this is not for you. The focus is on informative enjoyment with safety. Thanks for giving us a great Christmas Day Benny & Gozo Pride.Written 25 December 2024
- 395ievap0 contributionsGreat experienceAs I was in off season, group was really small. Guide (Cedric) was very friendly and had a story to tell for each stop. Lunch in local bar were included - some tasty beef with side dish and a scoop of ice cream. Overall experience was great - picked up at meeting point, transferred with boat, Cedric welcomed us in Gozo and we had a small Jeep ride to garage, then all papers were checked, info about quad driving and we were good to go!Written 19 December 2024
- jordanj4450 contributionsQuad Bike in GozoHad such an amazing time with Gozo Pride today on the Quad bike tour of the island. Our Tour guide was Benny and he went above and beyond for the group ensuring we had the greatest time. He took us to so many local spots that you wouldn’t usually see and made sure our experience was the best it could be. He even changed the day around to ensure we missed the one rain shower that was scheduled . 10/10 experience, highly recommend and we will be returning.Written 7 December 2024
- collie620 contributionsBrilliant quad tourWhat an excellent day we had 16/11. Michael & Ben took great care of us with safety and enjoyment being their priority. Michael was vey knowledgeable of all the sites we stopped at and made the whole day great fun. Quads were great, we were both drivers and the scenery was beautiful. Great balance of riding and stops for views/food and drinks. Lunch was superb in a lovely village. It was a fab day out, thanks to our guides.Written 16 November 2024
- valeriew9060 contributionsAwesome experience, great way to see hot spots in GozoThis is a great option to see the entire island in a day. You hit all major things to see without worrying about how to get there. Nothing more fun than navigating through the streets and the backroads to give you a good idea of what life is like on Gozo. Michael and Victor were great guides who are very knowledgeable and funny. We particularly appreciated being able to join the group as a last minute addition. Highly recommend the tour.Written 13 October 2024
- Alessia F0 contributionsAmazing Quad Bike Tour in Gozo!We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Gozo on quad bikes! The experience was thrilling and gave us a great way to see the island's beautiful scenery. A big thank you to Michael and Lorenzo, who were amazing guides. Michael led the way and made sure we were safe while enjoying the ride, and Lorenzo was the perfect “bag carrier” and excellent “quad fixer”, making sure everything went smoothly. They made the day even more fun with their friendly attitude and helpfulness. We highly recommend this tour if you're looking for an adventurous way to discover Gozo. It was an unforgettable experience! Grazie di tutto!Written 18 September 2024
- Jet445218124210 contributionsGreat way to spend the day on GozoSuch an awesome day tour 🔥🔥🔥 i got to see the best of Gozo and I loved the journey through the townships too. I wonder if the locals were okay with it lol. Stops for lunch which was quite filling and then later for some quick bathroom visits and refreshments to cool down as it was a sunny day. Andrew and Benny great guides:caring and considerate of all those on the tour. Felt safe while following on the quad bike. Highly recommend Gozo PrideWritten 15 September 2024

- alexandrakR2396PB0 contributionshighlight of our malta experience!Benny and Marco were outstanding guides. The best way to see the Island.

- DebSum0 contributionsA great day out!We had a perfect day out - from start to finish we had fun. We would highly recommend this quad bike tour of Gozo. Our guide Michael was fun and engaging and very knowledgeable about the island and its history. Sadly we couldn’t take the boat ride but that was because of unusually high winds so out of anyone’s control. A lovely lunch too!! Highly recommended!!Written 3 July 2024
- AM09090 contributionsHighly recommend!We did the Gozo Pride private jeep tour with Vince L and we had a great time. He was so good with our twins- very kind & we found him to be a helpful & accomodating person. He was happy to take pics for us and we appreciate that. He was very mindful of how we wanted to spend our time and planned as per that, so we got the most out of our day. We were lucky to have him- highly recommend doing this & don't be reluctant if you are family with young kids! The booking process was straighforward - I emailed them as the website form would'nt submit. Takes them a couple of days of respond & you pay a €100 deposit ahead & the rest on the day of the tour in cash. The transfer process was well managed- the pick up from the hotel to the boat, then boat to Gozo (roughly 25 mins & then, the other way around with a quick look at Comino from the boat.) All in all we thought it was good value if you want to enjoy without any hassle.Written 1 July 2024
- 757jejes0 contributionsNice experienceThe route was beautiful, you can see the whole island with all its features. but it was an Island Tour wirh a quad bike , there were no real or dedicated quad routes. There was also a short boat tour 15 min for 5 Euros where you can see the Caves in the middle of the See.. The Service was very good , we were picked up right a front the hotel on time.. The food and restaurant weren't the best, and It was very early just at the beginning, although the description says otherwise. The tour guides were nice and they gived their best to show us everything.. The organization could be a little better. But at the end it was a very nice experience and highly recommended..Written 19 June 2024

What a great way to get a taste of beautiful Gozo while staying on Malta. A nice overview of the main attractions of the island with time to take beautiful photos and explore a little. Our driver/guide Lisa was so friendly and easy going and answered any questions we had. The lunch that was part of the cost was delicious and it was fun mingling with others who were taking the tour in different jeeps. I feel this excursion was a great value for the price. I would recommend as a great way to tour Gozo for a day. The only thing I regret is that it made me want to return to Gozo and stay there rather than Malta. It has a great laid back feel and I think it would be fun to spend a week to see and experience more. Through no fault of the tour operator or guide just hope you don't share your jeep with 3 nineteen or so year old girls who are only there to take instagram selfies with no regard to the other passengers or mask wearing rules.

Dear Jenn,
Thank you for taking your time to review us. We are glad you enjoyed your tour with us and hope you visit our lovely island again. We informed all the drivers to make sure that all clients wear the mask in the jeep, we will inform them to make sure that all clients do.

Overall it was an incredible experience, the quads were so much fun and the full day was long enough. We always felt very safe on the quads and the 2 guides were great. The spots we stopped at were lovely, however just be mindful that it doesn’t include a stop in the capital. You’d need to come back to explore it. I’d highly recommend this tour! 2 small points for improvement: 1) we had to wait a while for the return boat, this was a bit annoying as it was boiling hot and everyone was tired, and 2) they overbooked the restaurant and we had to sit very awkwardly on a small square table with another couple (they were very nice however it’s not ideal as we all felt awkward throughout).

Dear Sinead,
Thank you for your comment. I am glad that overall you enjoyed the day and it was fun.
With regards to the restaurant and the boats, due to the Covid regulations, we are using 3 or 4 boats as we cannot load the full capacity therefore the clients of the last boats will need to wait a bit longer. This means more cost on us but still we kept the tour prices the way they originally were so unfortunately In these circumstances we are doing our best to provide an excellent tour to our clients although due to the regulations it is not always easy as normally we load our clients in one boat or 2 and they arrive at the same time in Gozo.
I’m glad that most of our clients, including yourself are appreciating our effort so we will continue offering memorable tours in Gozo.
Take care and stay safe!!

I can only view this on if I would do it again or recommend it and no I wouldn’t. We had confirmation of an 8.00 pick up, after a number of calls a packed minibus turned up , supposedly 3 guys had kept them waiting...the drive to the port was a further 45 minutes during which time the minibus broke down. It would have been good to have a cooler with some water...we met a very small boat who took us to Gozo. On arrival there were not enough Jeeps...we left the port at 1030 and only really visited the temples which we had to pay an extra €10 for. We got to lunch at 12.00 and then were given one of the worst meals ever which took nearly 2 hours! There was zero service and no offer of anything other than water or white wine. The tour then went to the Blue Grotto which again we had to pay for. The Jeeps are incredibly small so if you are more than about 5 feet 5 you will see nothing as you are bent double. The drivers were so lovely but I would strongly recommend that you hire a car and do it yourself. Overall a really disappointing experience

Dear Leony,
Thank you for taking your time to review us after your compensation was rejected as all the itenerary we promised was done.
On the confirmation email that we have sent you, we informed you as you can see on your confirmation email, that the pickup was at 8.15am. You kept on insisting that it was at 8am and even sent me a screen shot of the ticket you received from your booking platform with the DEFAULT time at 8.00am. and I explained it to you but you still kept on arguing and shouting on the phone. You told me that we are terrible, and I told you that you can cancel even at that last minute if you feel that we are terrible as we want our clients to be happy and we also knew right away that after the tour you would ask for a compensation. It is true that the van was late around 35 minutes due that we had 3 other clients who booked also from the same platform who were irresponsible and showed up late for the pickup. The van broke down only for 5 minutes maximum literally and you also sent me a message and I contacted the van driver which by then he was already driving the van and I sent a message to you but obviously you did not reply as you did not want proof by messaging that all was ok and sorted.
Although your pickup was late, the tour in Gozo still started on the normal time which is 10.30am as we always calculate some extra time for situations like this. It is not true that we did not have enough Jeeps at the harbor at the time you arrived as actually you arrived a bit earlier. Lunch was like usual. The drivers and the rest of the clients were also bothered and uncomfortably by your attitude which is honestly unacceptable but we tried to be very patient with you.
We wish you alot of positivity!!

You can tell a lot about a tour company by the way they respond to customer's reviews. And having just read several responses made to reviews making the same points as I am, I expect I will get a rude, insulting and dishonest response too, which is all you need to know.
Avoid this tour.
The lunch is dreadful. No social distancing, restaurant was dirty, staff rude.
The jeeps are old and dangerous, uncomfortable, and they go nowhere that large coaches do not go. There is not enough room for 4 adults to sit comfortably and safely, and in compliance with Malta's rules on social distancing, let alone the 6 plus driver we had. And it is a driver, NOT a guide at all.
It clearly states you pay extra for the Temple visit, but as this is the MAIN point of the trip you should get a decent amount of time to enjoy it.
The boat trip was not running, but we were still taken to the car park for it, for no reason at all. We did not get to see any of the capital although we kept driving around it. The local food tasting was a far too long stop at a tourist shop, packed with non mask wearing trippers. No beach stop for swimming, not that we wanted to, but a walk out of that jeep would have been nice.
Most stops were a couple of minutes to see something in the distance.
No stop at the salt pans.
The speed boat was equally dangerous, and there was no opportunity to take a toilet break anywhere at all but the Temples Museum and the "restaurant"....queues longer than the visits.
The biggest worry was the long, long, minibus journey to and from the port from Hotels. Hours of 18 strangers crammed like sardines into an unventilated minibus, with mask wearing NOT enforced, and 2 of us perched over wheel hub seats with nowhere to put legs or bags, and no seat belts. NOT ACCEPTABLE at anytime, let alone during a pandemic.

1. Jeeps are overcrowded - a total of 6 persons per jeep means being cramped and uncomfortable the whole day. Also - social distancing is impossible.
2. You sit facing each other, so most of what you see are other peoples sweaty faces.
3. Guides barely speak English and share no information about objects, places you visit.
4. Jeeps are so old, that even the speedometer doesn't work. Dangerous!
5. In most places you only get 5 min just to take photos. So at the end of the day, you haven't really seen much of Gozo.
6. No time in the capital Victoria!!!
7. "Local food tasting" means spending 30 min in a sad souvenir shop, where you can taste coffee and liqueur.
8. You get to visit a church in the middle of nowhere, with no backstory for 15 min, but at the beautiful salt pans only 5 min. Shame!
9. Lunch is very simple and cheap, with no added value. Better to give free time, so people can go somewhere else to eat.
Suggestions:
x No souvenir shop.
x No churches.
x Shorter time at the beach.
x Lunch as a free time in Victoria.
x More free time in salt pans and Xlendi.
x Hire guides, who can tell about places where you go.
x Renovate the jeeps and change seating.
x Rule of no more than 4 people in a jeep.
OR SLASH PRICES BY HALF. This looked so nice on paper but ended up as a disaster. Hoped for a day full of adventure, but got cramped in an old jeep with pensioners to drive around Gozo in a hurry. Such a waste of a beautiful day!

Dear Kristine,
Thank you for your feedback. With most of what you wrote no this.... no that.... I only have one suggestion for you. Next time take a private tour so you can customize it how you like and not a programmed tour with other clients expecially if you don't like other clients, maybe you should have took also a private jet to come to Malta too.
The driver that was driving you on our tour, have been working for us for 13 years. Saying that he can hardly speak english, is more than enough for me to ignore your complaint.
Thank you very much and I wish you pozitivity in life!

Trip began with an extremely hospitable chap, Edmond, who runs his own minivan for hire company. Edmond was an extremely friendly and happy to answer any queries regarding the history of the island.
After that, we made our way across to Gozo, which was a quick crossing and met our Jeep guide on the other side. The Jeep guide was a very friendly and knowledgeable local that took us round thenumerous sites.
Fair warning for anyone with allergies and intolerances to make it clear in your booking for the designated restaurant, C Seven, as had trouble initially getting the standard set meal with dairy replaced with an alternative.

I ordered 4 tickets, paid for four tickets, got confirmation I had four tickets, and then…
At today’s pick-up location the driver confirmed that my group was to be picked up at that location but he neglected to check that the company only had me down for 2 spots, so all 4 of us alighted. Several pick-ups later, when there were no more seats for other confirmed passengers, and after much confusion, we were summarily kicked off the bus, being told that they would get us a taxi to take us to the boat. The taxi was directed to where we were initially picked up, not where we were kicked off. Eventually he came and when we arrived at the boat, we were subject to resentment by other passengers as being the cause for the delayed departure. Nice. This company's incompetence caused us embarrassment and awkwardness, When we got to Gozo we were crammed into one small jeep with others making the group tally six in this tiny jeep. No other jeeps were so full. No jeeps on the website are so full. We were squashed all day. I know this happened because there were only so many jeeps booked for the day and they had to fit 2 unplanned extras in somewhere. Here is a picture of how we had to splay and connect our legs in the back with others, like gears to fit the space. This went on all day as we got on and off. The pleasant driver was just learning English having arrived in Gozo about a year ago. He knew nothing about the places we were being dropped off to visit, nothing about the history of Gozo, nothing about the culture and his only words to us were how many minutes we had as he dropped us off at each location. I am not trying to be a Karen here, but this was a major disappointment. I expect some insights from a tour guide. Nice guy, good driver, but sucked as a guide. Hopeless, in fact. Finally, all day, we smelled the exhaust of the jeep as it travelled. I honestly don’t know if this is how all jeeps of this type work or it was a faulty exhaust system. The only way to get non-exhaust fumed air was to lean back over the seats and breath air directly, up high as you went along. Save yourself the frustration. This tour company does not deserve your business, but Gozo does. It is beautiful. We had a horrible experience, you've been warned. Book here at your own peril.

No other jeeps were so full. No jeeps on the website are so full. We were squashed all day. I know this happened because there were only so many jeeps booked for the day and they had to fit 2 unplanned extras in somewhere. Here is a picture of how we had to splay and connect our legs in the back with others, like gears to fit the space. This went on all day as we got on and off. The pleasant driver was just learning English having arrived in Gozo about a year ago. He knew nothing about the places we were being dropped off to visit, nothing about the history of Gozo, nothing about the culture and his only words to us were how many minutes we had as he dropped us off at each location. I am not trying to be a Karen here, but this was a major disappointment. I expect some insights from a tour guide. Nice guy, good driver, but sucked as a guide. Hopeless, in fact. Finally, all day, we smelled the exhaust of the jeep as it travelled. I honestly don’t know if this is how all jeeps of this type work or it was a faulty exhaust system. The only way to get non-exhaust fumed air was to lean back over the seats and breath air directly, up high as you went along. Save yourself the frustration. This tour company does not deserve your business, but Gozo does. It is beautiful. We had a horrible experience, you've been warned. Book here at your own peril.

Dear Larry,
I understand your frustration and we apologise again as it is true we made a mistake with your booking.
We corrected it by sending you the taxi and you still made it with the other clients on time so you did not miss any of the tour. I understand that by this point you were already too angry.
Please note that the jeeps can always seat up to 6 people which consists of 5 people + the driver. As for the exhaust we got the complaints from others for the same jeep and we fixed it the next day.
It is quite unfortunate that you has such a bad day with us. We would love you offer you a discount to come and do another proper day with us and enjoy it as it should be.

We were so excited about this trip, sadly it wasn’t as we had hoped. The mini bus wasn’t as we were told, the jeep was so old and shabby and so UNCOMFORTABLE. We hadn’t been told to take towels with us to make the seats bearable. Thankfully our tour guide driver was fantastic, he saved the day and changed the itinerary for us so we stuck to main roads after the hour and half of terrible jolting of our backs. Recommend most highly the blue grotto but you have to pay cash only but luckily only €5 per person. The luncheon cafe was horrid, we couldn’t eat the food, also we were left on the sidewalk to eat in the sun under umbrellas but so sticky and the waitress couldn’t care less just plonked plates of unbeatable food in front of us. 🤣
The private boat is a must to avoid the queuing for the ferry. We think it’s not really suitable for under 10 year olds, we had three children with us and they only liked the boat trips.

The tour could have been great, if the time management would have been better.
Pick up service and communication were very well organised. As soon as we got to Gozo, we were put on two Jeeps (there were 9 adults and one child), asked what we would like to eat later and were told which places we are going to visit. There also was one small quad group, which was driving another route, but visiting same locations.
So from the beginning we spent more time at less interesting places like at Ramla Bay, where we were offered to go for a swim ( this part could be taken from the tour right away, in my opinion, as this can be done any time, but seeing the island not), so by the end of the day we had only 15 Minutes at Victoria (we were promised 45 Minutes in the morning) and didn’t go to Salt pans at all! This two locations were the reason why my husband and I booked the tour in a first place. So this was very very disappointing for us. And this at Covid-times, when most of the places are almost empty! Beside that one of the Jeep drivers simply had lied to us, saying according to Google maps there was a car accident so that’s why we didn’t go to salt pans. I checked google maps and there were no such information. Later I also asked people from the quad tour and they said they visited the place and they didn’t see any car accident. This situation made the impression of the tour even worse.
I have to tell, that our driver Lisa was very very friendly, helpful at all times and a very good driver too! We really loved her! The other driver (he was kind of a lead driver at that day) was quite unprofessional, because of the reason mentioned above and because of his jokes, which were inappropriate and not funny at all.
Anyhow, we saw some incredibly beautiful views and tried to enjoy the day anyway.
So if you don’t have any specific expectations of the tour, you can do it. If you would like to see any specific places, be aware of changes due to poor time management.

Dear Oksana,
Thank you for taking your time to review us.
Further to your comments, the quad tour's route is different than the jeep tour route.
Ramla bay time is 30 minutes and you all stayed there for the whole 30 minutes. As I mentioned on our conversation, I spoke to the drivers, the problem was that on stops our clients were not always on time to start driving to another stop and on the way to the Salt Pans, our driver was informed that there was an accident. Therefore he had to change the route and it would have been impossible to pass the tour to the Salt Pans. Our leader was also planning to pass you by Xewkija the Dome (which is not part of our tour) but since there were delays and the accident the plan had to change. Our tour always manage to visit all the places in the program, however due to traffic, an accident or delays, these issues are beyond our control.

We went to them all but your time at each is limited and may depend on the preferences of your group... still very worth it in my opinion! You will see more of Gozo this way than if you would do it on your own in the same amount of time.

Hi, is it possible to get picked up from Gozo?
Written 21 March 2022
I am sure that you can be picked up in Gozo by one of the companies who organise trips around Gozo. I would recommend that you look for day trips to Gozo and then send an email to these companies and I am sure that they will be able to help you.
