“Maria our tour guide was amazing. She was full of information and you could tell she was passionate about the temples when she was talking about them. Slightly gutted that the boats weren’t running for the blue grotto. This was due to adverse weather though so not in their control. But it was still a good trip. I know I’ve said it once but I will say again, Maria was amazing!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 254 reviews · 8 hours · from $86

A guided south Malta day trip with Hagar Qim, Ghar Dalam, the Blue Grotto, and Marsaxlokk market, plus lunch and hotel pickup.

“Our guide Phillipe was knowledgeable and gave us the right amount of information on each site. The transportation was seamless to be picked up and taken to the main bus, and delivered back by shuttle directly from the last stop. The itinerary was busy but well paced and we felt we had enough time at each stop and were able to see lots in one day. The lunch was good for being mass produced for a tour group. The only downside is that 3 buses were doing similar itineraries so it got crowded at times.”

A full-day Gozo outing from Malta with hotel pickup, ferry crossings, a trackless train ride, and UNESCO Ggantija temples plus Ta’Pinu.

“The content of the trip is okay but the organisation left a bit to be desired. It didn't help that a number of people were constantly late getting back to the coach when moving on to the next destination. We were originally picked up at 8am but the tour did not start until nearly 10.30am. The time in between was spent picking people up from various hotels, changing coaches, etc. The actual ferry crossing was less than half an hour.”

“BEST DAY - book it! I could not have asked for a better person to learn about these wonderful areas and all as I wished. Chris first gets in touch with you to know how you’d like to spend time: I chose 8 hour day and it was perfect. From the comfort of the car, learning about things as we go along, Chris stopping for pictures as requested and joining in on some of the walks/churches to share information. While he stresses he’s not a tour guide, he provided information I wanted to learn about such as history of Malta, neighborhoods, churches, and architecture. It was a perfect mix and…”

A full-day Malta loop from Valletta to limestone quarries, UNESCO temples, and Marsaxlokk, with lunch and an optional Blue Grotto boat ride.

“I was very interested especially in the temple and the Limestone heritage experience. I loved the whole trip. The guide was great, and we were a group only with English and Spanish. I've to say, our guide sometimes walked a little too fast, because we also had older people in the group that had a little bit of trouble keeping up. The information he gave was fantastic. I enjoyed Hagar Qim and the Limestone heritage the most. The cave was interesting, but a little difficult to get down to with all those stairs. But worth doing it. I also loved the possibility that we could take the boat trip to…”
