The Blue Grotto and Sunday Market at Marsaxlokk Fishing Village Tour - The Blue Grotto and Sunday Market at Marsaxlokk Fishing Village Tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Daiva, is one of the most wonderful women I’ve ever met. Her knowledge about Malta is outstanding, and she explained everything with so much passion and clarity. She was very polite and respectful, especially in the way she spoke with our driver, Lali. It was heartwarming to see such a good connection between them. Lali drove us safely and comfortably throughout the tour. I’m truly happy and would love to join more tours with Daiva. Highly recommend this tour and the whole team!

Nice tour to do on a Sunday - While it was windy, the tour was great. There was a delay because of the buses had some issues and had to replace. Went to the Blue Grotto and saw the seven different caves. It was so awesome and blue (which is my favorite color); keep in mind, visiting this on a tour is not always a guarantee based on wind and water conditions. You can walk or take some transportation that costs a $1. I think it is a car. The fishing village was very nice as well. You could literally spend a whole day there but two hours or so. Highly recommend. I probably would not procrastinate.

BLUE CAVE - No doubt it is interesting, and we should visit even to be able to comment and compare. Those who know our Benagil Caves in Portimão and other small wonders on our Algarve coast... do not love the ones visited in Malta. However I say worth it for the reasons mentioned

Very time pressured trip. - The trip in the little boat to the Grotto was enjoyable, but felt very pressured as the queue to get on a boat was long and we were given a set time to get back to the bus. The same applied to the market. Although a beautiful fishing village by the time we managed to get a drink and a quick snack, (by which time we were desperate) it was time to head back to the bus.

Beautiful... but speed - Beautiful course, beautiful landscapes but rhythm in the chain, boats one behind the other 15 minutes top chrono. Cash payment only on the day.

Ok but cheaper, quickerand better to make your own way there. - Guide was ok. However, it took 2 hours to pick everyone up, then drove to the Blue Grotto, which was closed. So photo opp only. Markets are really just some fresh fish, vegetables and loads of cheap knock offshore from China. The guide advises not to but the fish if heading back k on the bus for obvious reasons. The location is nice and many restaurants. So, frankly, get an Uber...cheaper and quicker.

Don't book - I made a reservation 3 weeks ago, but I was told that it was not possible today because it was full of reservations on the same day. I asked for a pick up, but I waited two hours and was told. should not be booked I just wasted my time
