    Maria was an excellent guide, engaging and spoke clearly. Interesting tour. We hadn't been aware that the trip included a ride in the harbour in a small boat (which was quite thrilling) and we heard the 12 o'clock cannon from the water. The 3rd city is not visited but just pointed out. The area at the end of the tour had some cafes by the water and it would have been nice to have had some free time here.

    Die Führerin war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich ! Sie hat sehr viele Fragen beantwortet und auch sonst ein umfangreiches Wissen über die 3Städte geteilt. Das Wetter hat auch gut mitgespielt, uns hat es sehr gut gefallen! Man sollte allerdings wirklich gut zu Fuß sein.

    Sadly the tour was undertaken in English and Spanish and it is very difficult to be able to understand what is being said when the language is constantly changing. We've had 2 tours like this and it ruins the experience and equally you don't get as much information as you do when its only in one language. TUI need to make it clear when you book that this is going to happen, because if I had know i wouldn't have booked the tour. That said the tours we did do in one language were excellent

Marsaxlokk Sunday Market & Blue Grotto with Local Guide

Leisure is the name of the game on Sunday mornings in Malta, and this shopping and sightseeing trip makes the most of Malta's scenery and local culture. You'll head to Ħaġar Qim Temple, gaze at the renowned Blue Grotto and visit the fishing village of Marsaxlokk to stroll around its weekly market. Micheal, one of our expert local guides, says, 'If you like to eat fish and seafood, Marsaxlokk won't disappoint. It's packed with great restaurants and market day brings the freshest produce to town, much of it picked or caught the same day.'We'll kick off with a visit to the historic Hagar Qim Temple. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is over 5,000 years old and hints at how Malta's first inhabitants lived on the island. Then, it's on to one of Malta's most famous natural sights – the Blue Grotto of Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It's a 50-metre-deep natural cave with a huge arch that stretches out to sea. The caves get their name from the light reflecting off the water, which creates a dazzling blue colour. An optional boat trip into the grotto is available.You'll reach Marsaxlokk – one of the most picturesque spots in the country – just as tummies to begin growling. This quaint fishing village hosts a large market down by the waterfront – make sure you check out the colourfully painted ‘luzzu' boats floating in the harbour. As well as freshly caught fish, there'll also be locally grown fruit and veg, Maltese wines, cold cuts, cheeses and leather goods. Enjoy free time here and tuck into what takes your fancy.

Small-Group Tour of Gozo with Victoria and Ggantija Temples
Excursions & day trips

Small-Group Tour of Gozo with Victoria and Ggantija Temples

Gozo and Malta are separated only by a narrow channel, but the differences are eye-catching. Gozo is greener, more laidback and sparsely populated. Get the lowdown on the island on this adults-only small group tour with visits to the Victoria Citadel, Ta'Pinu Basilica and Dwejra Bay. Yohanna, one of our expert local guides, says, "The mosaics at Ta'Pinu are a recent addition, dating from 2017. They feature 20 mysteries of the rosary mounted on four circular walls in what had previously been an unsightly car park."After a short trip by ferry to the island, you'll head to Qala Point first, for unobstructed views over the Maltese Archipelago. Then, it's off to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ggantija Temples, which pre-date the Egyptian pyramids. The historic theme continues at the medieval Citadel of Victoria, the island's capital. Yohanna says, "Victoria was originally named Rabat, however, to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1887, its name was changed. You'll see lots of British influence here, due to 164 years under British rule."Next up is a visit to the salt pans, to see how salt is harvested on the island. After stopping for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients at a traditional Gozitan restaurant, you'll head to Ta'Pinu Basilica, where you can grab some Insta-perfect snaps. Last but not least, you'll visit the impressive geographic features in and around Dwejra Bay – the Fungus Rock and the Inland Sea lagoon.
