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.

Great boat trip to blue grotto and great to experience the market - The trip ran smoothly from start to finish. The pick up time and place was confirmed the night before and they turned up like planned. The blue grotto boat trip was amazing. The market was a great experience although very busy on a very hot day. We still enjoyed the trip.

Not the best value or time arrangements - Blue grotto is mediocre. Coach park negotiations are unsafe. Our bus collided with another. Marsaxlokk Market has very good produce fish and other souvenirs. The trap does not allow enough time for lunch and a brows around the market. We decided to get the public bus back to Valletta and leave the tour. We did not feel that this was good value for money and if we planned it again we would simply take the local buses

A Nice Spot - This was a pleasant stop on our day tour of Malta. The fishing boats parked at the marina offer a glimpse of the life that these people live in their daily routine. The town has some nice shops and a nice Catholic Church that is free to explore

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 disappointing - We found it a complete rip off for 15 euros per person the bus trip getting there was good nice scenery blue grotto disappointing couldn't see anything apart from rocks it was dangerous walking on the rocks not for seniors the market was a complete waste of time very crowded prices were incredibly high the goods were rubbish if you want to go use the local transport so much cheaper

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.
