The time shown on the website or on your ticket is the approximate start time of the activities included in your package 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 8:00 AM and 9:15 AM, depending on the activity and 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.

The time shown on the website or on your ticket is the approximate start time of the activities 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 first activity, you need to make sure to contact the tour operator to confirm your pick-up location and pick-up time for all the activities included in the package. Your pick-up time can be anytime between 8:10 AM and 9:30 AM, depending on the activity and where you are staying.
The sequence of your programme depends on your chosen start date. Select from seven start‑day options when booking, and be sure to review the associated end date, which may differ based on your selection.
All itinerary timings are approximate and may vary without prior notice, depending on operational circumstances and traffic.
The tours will be guided in the language you have booked, however please note that at times, depending on operational circumstances, the commentary might be provided by a multilingual guide (limited to a maximum of 2 languages).
Tours in Spanish will be conducted by either a Spanish-speaking guide (subject to availability) or an English-speaking guide together with a Spanish-speaking host serving as a translator.
The audio-visual show during the Valletta tour is generally done at the end of the tour at the Malta Experience theatre; however, the provider reserves the right to change the time and venue for the audio-visual show without prior notice.
While generally there are always some craftsmen practicing their trade at the Ta' Qali Artisan Village, we cannot guarantee that there will always be artisans practicing glassblowing techniques while we are there. Since the artisans who operate at Ta' Qali Artsan Village are independent businesses, we have no control over their working schedules.
The boat tour of the harbour creeks during the Three Cities tour is always subject to favourable weather conditions; if the boat trip cannot be done due to poor weather conditions, we will spend more time visiting the cities.

The visit to Cospicua is a panoramic drive-by; we will not be stopping there.
The difficulty level of the tour of the Three Cities is considered easy to moderate; however, one should take note that it’s a rather long walk.
The boat trip at Dwejra Bay is not included in the price of your package; the boat trip is optional (to be paid on location) and can only be done subject to favourable weather conditions, the cost is approximately €6 per person.
When the local government or council organises institutional events or when public holidays fall on a Sunday, the open market at Marsaxlokk may be closed. When this happens, we will either visit another market or spend more time visiting the fishing village.
The boat trip at the Blue Grotto is optional (to be paid on location), and it’s always subject to favourable weather conditions. The fee for the boat trip is around €10 for adults and €5 for children (the fee can change without any prior notice).
Although we usually visit Qrendi for our village walk, the provider reserves the right to change the location to another typical Maltese village. When this happens, we always make sure that the tour retains the same appeal, charm, and value as the original programme.
The provider reserves the right to change the order of the visits without prior notice.
