    We had no TourGuide on our coach at all and a driver that didn’t appear to speak English. We picked up from various teas as usual and then sat outside a supermarket for near half an hour without any explanation. A tour guide Mark, then popped his head on and said he was on the other bus and would see us there. So we got none of the usual tourist information as we travelled.

    The sites and the tour were great but it did feel rushed - possibly because we were still picking up people after we’d been on the coach an hour. The 2 temples in particular we were rushed around less than 10 mins at each actual site

    Stunning neolithic sites - enjoyed the cave and both temples Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable - and the coach picked us up on time and was comfortable - great driver - enjoyed seeing the countryside as a bonus We went to the Archeological Museum in Valletta later in the week, and it really enhanced that visit by having previously been 'on site' at the temples Thoroughly recommend this excursion!

Marsaxlokk söndagsmarknad och Blå grottan med lokalguide

Fritid är ledordet på söndagmorgnar på Malta, och denna shopping- och sightseeingtur utnyttjar Maltas landskap och lokala kultur till fullo. Du åker till Ħaġar Qim-templet, beundrar den berömda Blå grottan och besöker fiskebyn Marsaxlokk för att strosa runt på dess veckomarknad. Micheal, en av våra erfarna lokala guider, säger: ”Om du gillar att äta fisk och skaldjur kommer Marsaxlokk inte att göra dig besviken. Här finns massor av fantastiska restauranger och på marknadsdagen kommer de färskaste råvarorna till stan, varav många plockats eller fångats samma dag.”Vi börjar med ett besök på det historiska templet Hagar Qim. Detta UNESCO-världsarv är över 5 000 år gammalt och ger en inblick i hur Maltas första invånare levde på ön. Därefter bär det av till en av Maltas mest kända naturattraktioner – den blå grottan Wied Iz-Zurrieq. Det är en 50 meter djup naturlig grotta med en enorm båge som sträcker sig ut mot havet. Grottorna har fått sitt namn från ljuset som reflekteras från vattnet och skapar en bländande blå färg. En valfri båttur in i grottan finns tillgänglig.Du kommer fram till Marsaxlokk – en av de mest pittoreska platserna i landet – precis när magarna börjar kurra. Denna pittoreska fiskeby har en stor marknad nere vid vattnet – missa inte de färgglatt målade ”luzzu”-båtarna som flyter i hamnen. Förutom färsk fisk finns det också lokalt odlade frukter och grönsaker, maltesiska viner, charkuterier, ostar och lädervaror. Njut av ledig tid här och njut av det du gillar.
