5.00Easy half day trip from Valleta
Great effort but didn't wow me or my friends.

4.00The tour guide was great. The weather didn't help. The boats didn't work but when she found out they did it was too late. So many coaches did the same tour so certain places overcrowded. The tour wasn't expensive but I would rather spend more and have a quality experience.

1.00A rather disappointing tour. I would recommend taking an Uber from your hotel to the Sunday Fish Market and avoid the "big bus overhead"
Very cute Marsaxlokk

5.00Marsaxlokk is a small fishing village.. so not much except to see hundreds of these colorful fishing boats in the port.. so lovely. There’s the usual markets and thing to buy and worth the trip.
This tour was amazing....

4.00Blue Grotto is a very suggestive place a wonderful wonder of nature a unique experience in seeing these blue waters, only shame that for reasons of time (very strong wind) prevented me from making the excursion with the boat for safety reasons. But it was equally very nice to see this place.
Good tour with unexpected...

3.00Good tour with unexpected added visit to Qrendi. Blue grotto excellent. Boat driver was really helpful and informative. However would have preferred more time in Marsaxlokk instead of going to Qrendi. So basically cost is the bus !
Great tour to learn about history and take some lovely photos

5.00Absolutely brilliant tour - the bus picked us up right from outside our hotel and dropped us back at the end of the tour. Our guide was fantastic and took us through the history of Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto and surrounding areas.
