Guided tour
Boat ride fee to Blue Grotto
The tour was very interesting and well organised.The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.Also the meal included in the fishing village was the best I had during these tours.
The tour starts with a visit to one of Malta's oldest quarries which has been transformed into an attraction for tourists and locals alike and which provies a vivid account of one of Malta's leading skills - the use of use of limestone for building pirposes, a skill that goes back thousands of years. The magic of Malta's tranquility will be explained at Hagar Qim, Malta's main pre-historic site, overlooking the wide expanse of the blue Mediterranean and the islet of Filfla.
From Hagar Qim yo will proceed to Wied iz- Zurrieq where (weather permitting - boat price not included) you can take a boat trip to the Blue Grotto, renowned for its crystal clear waters. After lunch, we drive through local vineyards right up to the idyllic fishing village of Marsaxlokk. You will have time to stroll through the local market set out on its waterfront.
Later we proceed to the cave at Ghar Dalam were archaeologists have unearthed ample proof that Malta once formed part of the European landmass.
