Tour was great value for money, the only downside was that we couldn’t quite understand everything in the commentary due to language/ accent but very enjoyable non the less. The tour inspired us to visit Valletta in the day time and we had a fantastic time.

Onboard the boat i was not able to get in a position to get good photographs. Could not always understand the commentary as the speakers were distorted. This is our second trip and each time the gangplank to board the ship bounces up and down making it difficult to get on and off. Lastly the coach journey was the jerkiest ride i have been on in some time, not sure if it was the clutch or brakes.

First time here and first day of our holiday. Amazing way to see the harbours lit up at night. Absolutely stunning scenery and informative guide information. There is also a bar on board which you can purchase drinks and snacks from.

It is a shame this was sold to us as a sunset cruise, we started to get worried when the coach was not going to make it to the harbour in time. So a bit disappointing. The cruise itself was good, staff pointed out various landmarks on the way, and there is plenty of sites to take photo's of. Overall I would recommend, but seeing a sunset is not on the agenda.

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
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.
