The main highlights include:

Mgarr Harbour
The pretty Mgarr Harbour is Gozo Island's main harbour, surrounded by local fishing boats, yachts of all sizes. Overlooking the harbour is Fort Chambray and the exquisite Neo Gothic chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Ramla Bay
The beach is located at the bottom of a rich and fertile valley on the northern side of the Island. It is quite wide and sandy. The unique colour of the sand which is golden-reddish is different from all others in Gozo and Malta. It is known locally as 'Ir-Ramla il-Hamra', meaning 'the Red Sandy Beach'.

Savina Creativity Centre
Owned by a local food producer, Savina offers everything local including local olive oil, pastes, cheese, pastries, preservatives, chocolate and many more items. During your visit you can also watch a small movie about this special family run business, see local produce being prepared and sample certain items. This worth a stop during your tour of Gozo. 

Ggantija Temples
Regarded to be some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world, the largest megalith to be found at Ggantija Temples weighs about 50 tonnes and its walls reach a height of around seven metres. Altars 
and the remnants of a fire-reddened circular stone-hearth, possibly for an eternal flame, can still be seen. Entrance fee is €10, which also includes the nearby Ta' Kola Windmill.

Ta' Kola Windmill
One of the landmarks of Xaghra to be seen from afar is the Windmill of Ta’ Kola, It sits on the highest point on Xaghra plateau and acquired its name after the local miller called 'Nikola' or 'Kola'. 

Calypso Cave
The location of Gozo’s most popular legend is in a cave at the end of this ridge. Calypso, daughter of Atlas, entertained Odysseus for seven years until Hermes, the messenger of the gods, was sent by Zeus to bid Calypso 
to release the Greek hero. Unfortunately, you cannot enter the cave due to structural damages, however, you can enjoy a magnificent view from the lookout point, overlooking the beautiful red sans of Ramla Bay and surrounding hills.

Marsalforn
Is a popular seaside resort for both locals that own a second property by the sea and visitors to the island on vacation.

Victoria 
Is the main town on the island and due to its central location, it is also the main crossroads. In fact, this bus tour stops twice here during this tour. Some time in Victoria is definitely worthwhile. The two main highlights of this quaint city include:

A visit to the main piazza called 'San Gorg' can be found amongst a labyrinth of narrow alleys and quaint streets. The church here is stunning, and if it is open, definitely worth while visiting. You can also enjoy a drink at one the local bars or allow time for lunch. 

You can also visit 'The Citadel' which sits on a higher level above Victoria, in fact the views across the island are simply stunning. You can walk from the centre to The Citadel is a 10 minute walk, and the hill leading up to this small fortified settlement is quite steep.

Ta' Pinu Sanctuary
Every year, many pilgrimages are made to the Basilica of Ta’ Pinu. Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu is believed to have miraculous healing powers. Ex-voto offerings, including silver objects, crutches and pictures are displayed in the church. 

Ta' Dbiegi Crafts Village
Situated beneath the shelter of Gozo’s highest hill, huts and workshops furnish local unique handmade crafts such as the famous Gozo lace, sweaters, blown glass, pottery and ceramics, limestone, marble, onyx and alabaster, silver and gold, paintings and wood pyrography, leather, Tinsmith, candles and also local liqueurs, honey and preserved dried fruits in the traditional way. 

Dwejra Bay
This is a site of ecological and geological importance. Here you can see the Blue Hole (a natural pool), The General's Rock (which grows a special herb used by the Order of St. John, during their reign of our islands) and the  Inland Sea which is land-locked bay with only small natural opening to the open sea. Optional boat trips are available (not included in the tour rate) taking around the Inland Sea and though the opening into the open sea, providing the sea conditions are suitable.

Fontana
It is a small village on the suburbs of Victora, and has a tiny population of only 800 plus people. Fontana is Italian name for a spring.

Xlendi Bay
Is a very picturesque colourful bay, with a small sandy beach, with bars and restaurants lining the waterfront. It is the best location during this tour for a 'lunch by the sea'. 

Xewkija
The last stop before you return to the harbour is the town of Xewkija. The name is derived from the Maltese word “Xewk”, meaning “thistles” or “thorns”. This town his home to a very impressive church, which is the larget on the island. It was built from Maltese stone by local masons and craftsmen and is dedicated to St. John The Baptist.
