Review of Malta’s half-day tour to Ħaġar Qim, Limestone Heritage, and Blue Grotto, with practical tips on timing, transport, and value.
“The guide was great! she explained to us so well when we arrived at the temples. I wish we had more time at Blue Grotto. Only 30 mins is too little! We only took the boat ride and that was all! No tine for photos. Nothing.”
Explore Malta’s 7,000-year story through an audio-visual show and guided Sacra Infermeria tour in Valletta.
“The audio-visual show is outstanding. Because of another appointment, we skipped the Sacra Infermeria tour.”
Explore Valletta at your own pace with an offline audio tour, landmark commentary, practical tips, and a free Mdina tour.
“Good info on each stop. But no directions given so random.”
Review of Valletta’s two-hour walking tour, with Maltese food, Caravaggio, local stories, practical tips, price, and honest drawbacks.
“Luis was a great guide - friendly chatty and very knowledgeable. He made sure we got the most out of our 2 hour tour and even have us recommendations of where else to go , and to eat and drink. Can’t recommend him enough!”
Explore Valletta’s grim tales, ghostly nights, murder, and church mysteries on this engaging two-hour English walking tour.
“Mario our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting. As frequent visitors to Malta we learnt some new information doing this tour. While I would recommend this tour you do need to be mobile and fit as Valletta is very hilly and you do walk right down to the bottom and back up. It was a great night.”
Malta’s Heritage Pass combines 20 historic sites, hop-on hop-off buses, harbor cruises, and routes to Gozo and Comino in one ticket.
“We bought a Heritage Pass for EU40 at Fort St Elmo Sunday 18 May 2025. It is very hard to understand this Pass as we were going to visit five sites. The Hotel looked blank when we presented it to our Concierge asking advice how to use it. Read more”
Explore Hagar Qim, Malta’s ancient limestone temples, and a historic quarry on a practical half-day tour with optional Blue Grotto boat trip.
“Great to see the history of mining limestone and its important role in Malta's history. It was also nice to imagine how temples were constructed over 5000 years ago.”
Review Malta’s Hagar Qim, Limestone Heritage, Marsaxlokk and Blue Grotto tour, with honest advice on timing, lunch, value and group size.
“The Hagar Qim temple is incredible. The artifacts in the museum were worth the time to visit. It was a shame we didn’t have the time to visit the second temple. The blue lagoon was interesting and well worth the additional cost. Lunch was very good and was the service.”
Explore Valletta, Mdina, Dingli Cliffs, and Blue Grotto on a private Malta day tour with flexible pickup and custom stops.
