A full-day Malta tour from Valletta to UNESCO Hagar Qim, limestone quarry history, Ghar Dalam cave, Marsaxlokk harbor, plus optional Blue Grotto boat.
“While the tour guide was excellent - well organized, informative, responsive - I was disappointed that we spent a very short time at Hagar Qim, didn’t get to see Mnajdra at all, and spent almost an hour at Limestone Heritage and the garden. I came to see the ancient ruins. We were rushed through viewing Hagar Qim in about 20 minutes, then later people were milling around the garden with nothing to do for 50 minutes waiting to leave. The times should have been reversed!”
Sample Valletta coffee, ftira, traditional dishes with wine, and Malta chocolate on a 3.5-hour small-group walk with history.
“This tour was both extremely informative in terms of the history of Valletta, as well as full of delicious foods! We received generous portions at each stop, and they were spaced out appropriately to allow us to digest. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Malta, although he was a bit shy and not super talkative while we were sitting down to eat.”
