    Pickup details

    9:45 AM is the approximate start time of the activity and not the time when you will be picked up from your hotel (or closest meeting point). At least a few days before the date of your activity, you need to make sure to contact the tour operator to confirm your pick-up location and pick-up time. Your pick-up time can be any time between 8:30 AM and 9:15 AM, depending on where you are staying. If your pick-up location is a hotel, please wait outside near the main entrance. Do not wait in the lobby or inside the hotel. When the guide or driver arrives, they will have a list of names and will ask those waiting outside for identification. They will not enter the hotel to look for guests. Transportation will not wait for late arrivals. If you miss your morning pick-up, you will not be able to join the tour later. Once the tour has started, it cannot be interrupted to accommodate latecomers.

    This is by far the best thing I've done in several teops to Malta. I'd thoroughly recomend it to anyone.

    Wasn't bad if you don't have a car. I would have rather visited all these places by car. We did go back to the Grotto on our own later. Too many people and stops on the huge bus.

    It was okay, we spent a long time waiting for the rest of our group to arrive before the tour started. As it was too windy, the boats did not run so we did not get to see the blue grotto or even the viewpoint advertised. The temples were fantastic but we only had tickets/time to see one of the temples at the complex.

    Well organized tour

    We selected the Gun Post Bar pickup point as it was only 5 min from the place we stayed in. We were promptly picked up at the specified time and transferred to the collection point near Rabat. Everything was well organized. The English speaking guide had rather difficult to understand accent and even when she spoke into a microphone with a little loudspeaker, people at the back would hear very little.

    Visits were great but transport arrangements were poor and difficult to understand and somewhat frustrating

    It was truly an amazing tour. From the limestone tour to the Prehistoric Temple which was unbelievable, the final stop at the Blue Grotto was the best. The water and the coastline was awesome.
