Interesting facts and areas with activities well paced - The guide Antoinette was terrific and full of information that was presented clearly and concisely. The afternoon guide Fabrizizia was also excellent to finish off the day after lunch. The activities were varied and incredibly interesting with pace of the tour perfect. Guide could always be heard as used mike for our group of 32. Really enjoyed the sights and attractions. Lunch was delicious with freshly cooked local sea bass, pasta and dessert. Free time was included to wander the fishing village area.

Good tour that covers many of the main sights in Malta - The tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly, and the timing for each stop was perfect allowing enough time for free exploration. The only stop where it felt a bit rushed was Marsaxlokk as this was also the lunch stop - by the time lunch was served and finished, we only had about 20mins to explore. But other than that, the whole tour was very enjoyable.

Long tour, lots of slow gaps - The tour was quite long given the amount of things you actually saw Francesca did her best with what she had to show, a crying baby in group didn’t help

Worth doing to see lots of pkaces - Very good route and a great guide. It was well paced and there was enough time to visit each place and have some free time as well. The boat trip was extra, but well worth doing. The meal was ok, nothing special, but adaqyate.

Wonderful tour - The temples are truly wonderful. Our guide was quite good at explaining. Do ask for tickets for Mnajdra from your guide, because you get little time after Hagar Qim and the walk downhill to Mnajdra takes time.

very long, discouraging day - First, let's start with the name of the tour....."temples" would make you think you would have the opportunity to see more than one. Not true. Only Hagar Qim was included, not Mnajdra (although the guide pointed out that you could see it off in the distance. Not helpful.). You spend an HOUR at a limestone history place, which I can't imagine who wants to spend more than 20 minutes there (if at all)....just a great excuse for the guide to drop the group off with a movie and headset while he enjoys coffee. It was windy, so no optional boat rides for anyone, but we did get to spend a lot of time in the little town where you would do the boat ride if it were not windy. There is nothing to do in this town, fyi, although the view is spectacular. 10 minutes for photos would have been sufficient. Lunch in Marsaxlokk was fine, but every tour bus was there at the same time, so it was very slow service and didn't allow for much time to enjoy the beautiful harbor. As for the guide, Phillipe, maybe he was having a bad day. He was shouty and borderline rude (he actually snapped at a school group). He did the tour in both English and Spanish, so depending on your language, half the time you had no idea what he was talking about (and if you're lucky enough to be bilingual, you got to hear everything twice). Not fun.

Well organized but boring tour - I wish I could rate this tour higher, but most of it was mostly quite boring. The main exception was the Blue Grotto boat ride, for which we paid 10 Euro extra per person. My rating is only because Philippe was a good tour guide and it is a well organized tour. But neither the cave or prehistoric temple appealed to me.

"Bitter in the mouth" - Tour which reflected what was advertised at the time of booking, we were unlucky that due to the rough sea we were unable to visit the caves, however I was left with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth and on this I allow myself to give a I advise the organizers regarding the fact that once we arrived to visit the HAGAR QIM site, just 500 meters away (furthermore continuing along the same path, and visible to the naked eye, imagine our disappointment) there was the possibility of visiting the splendid megalithic site of MNAJDRA I tried to mention to the guide that we would have paid for the ticket but the guide rightly replied that we would not have had the necessary time, but on the other hand they dropped us off in Valletta at 4.00 pm (therefore I advise the organizers to also include the visit to MNAJDRA, postponing the arrival in Valletta by just an hour)
