Pros and cons
Pros
- Booking fees sit at EUR 5 per city tour, a single figure with no tiers attached
- A mobile app is available, so tour details and bookings stay in one place
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, including email, phone and a help centre
- Products cover tours, so the catalogue is easy to scan
Cons
- The catalogue is limited to tours, with no flights, rail or hotels alongside
- Bookings are handled by one operator, so a change in plans means rebooking from the same source
- A per-tour charge of EUR 5 per city tour adds to the ticket price on every city tour booked
Who it suits
- Travellers planning a Malta trip around guided city tours
- Families who prefer a local operator over a global booking platform
- Anyone happy to book a category of trip rather than a whole holiday
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who want flights or hotels in the same basket, who should look at WayAway for flights, rail and bus
- People booking beyond a single destination, who should look at 12Go for flights, rail and bus
- Travellers who compare rail and bus fares as well, who should look at MoMo for flights, rail and bus
Who runs it
City Explorer Malta is run by City Explorer Ltd, registered in Malta, so the operation sits inside Malta rather than relying on a distant parent. That local base matters for a single-destination catalogue, because the team building the tours is the team selling them. Anyone booking gets help through email, phone and help centre, which pairs email and phone with a help centre for questions before and after travel.
How City Explorer Malta compares
12Go covers flights, rail and bus, which suits a multi-country plan where a single-market operator cannot reach.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to book a city tour with City Explorer Malta?+
Booking fees are EUR 5 per city tour. That is the charge the operator applies on a city tour, and it sits on top of the tour itself. Because it is a single figure rather than a tiered structure, the cost of booking is straightforward to plan around before a trip.
Does City Explorer Malta sell anything other than tours?+
Products cover tours, so the catalogue is focused rather than broad. There are no flight, rail or hotel lines alongside the tours. Travellers who need a full trip arranged in one basket will find a wider range at WayAway, which lists flights, rail and bus.
Is there an app for managing the booking?+
Yes, a mobile app is available, so tour details can be checked and kept to hand while travelling. It suits itineraries that move between cities on the island. Anyone who prefers handling everything in a browser can still work through the standard booking flow.
How do I reach City Explorer Malta if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which includes email, phone and a help centre. Having both a direct line and written options helps when a question needs a quick answer or a record. The operator is based in Malta, so enquiries are handled locally.
Who is behind City Explorer Malta?+
The service is run by City Explorer Ltd, which is registered in Malta. Knowing the legal entity and the country of registration makes it easier to check who is behind the tours you book. For a single-market operator, that local base is a reasonable starting point for confidence.
Can I book a whole holiday through City Explorer Malta?+
No, products cover tours only, so this is a tour booker rather than a holiday package. A traveller arranging flights, stays and transfers together will need a broader site. MoMo lists flights, rail and bus, and 12Go covers flights, rail and bus for a wider plan.
Is City Explorer Malta a good fit for a family trip?+
Guided city tours work well for families who want structure without planning every hour, and the app keeps the schedule in one place. A narrow catalogue helps here, because the choices are simple to compare. Families shopping across transport and hotels will want a larger selection elsewhere.
How does City Explorer Malta compare with a global tour marketplace?+
The difference is focus. Products cover tours, so there is less to filter through, and booking fees of EUR 5 per city tour are a single line item. A marketplace gives more choice but a longer list of options to weigh. The right pick depends on how much you want to decide yourself.
