What you can expect

Discover iconic sites on the island of Malta like the famed Blue Grotto on this day trip from Valletta. Enjoy riveting information and engaging storytelling from your guide. Peruse the treasures at the Marsaxlokk market and take a guided walking tour of Qrendi.
Be picked up from your hotel in Valletta and hop aboard an airconditioned bus. Relax on the drive through the countryside to the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Admire the largest fishing harbour in Malta that has been in operation since antiquity.
Capture pictures of the brightly brightly-coloured traditional luzzu fishing boats. Take a stroll through the streets to uncover delightful restaurants and nice cafés huddled along its entire promenade.
Soak up the vibe in its large open-air market which sells a vast assortment of fish, locally honey, and fruit jams, and traditional sweets. Peruse local wines, liquors, souvenirs, clothes, shoes, traditional lacework, custom jewellery, and handcrafted accessories.

Continue to the Wied Iz-Zurrieq (Zurrieq Valley) to visit the fantastical sea caverns of the Blue Grotto. Snap pictures of the impressive main arch, which is approximately 30 metres in height. Marvel at views of the Honeymoon Cave, the Cat’s Cave, and the Reflection Cave.
Appreciate this locations which was featured films like 'Cutthroat Island' (1995), 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (2002), and 'Troy' (2004). Weather permitting, have the time to purchase an optional boat ride into the grotto for an extra fee payable on location.

Head to the village of Qrendi for a guided walking tour of one of Malta’s traditional villages. Walk to the main square to the hub of the village, see its parish church, and be led through a maze of winding, narrow streets. Return to your accommodation in Valletta at the end of your tour.

Guide was knowledgeable, but didn’t come across as too friendly. Places are nice, but they have been turned into tourist traps which is shame. There were lots of people considering it’s March. Can’t imagine what summer would look like… still worth going though, cause places are picturesque.

I enjoyed the blue grotto boat trip which was extra. The visit to Marsaxlokk was ok however unless you really like markets I think on another day you would be able to get a better view of the boats in the harbour. The market stalls were all along the quayside blocking the view. The boats were pretty.

how's the tourist I was confused for 3 minutes and I lost my location and although I received the call from the office find the driver despite the fact that he couldn't wait for minutes I lost my transfer I asked for the fully fund although I said to the lady that called me to go to the driver but they canceled me at the end hoping so I lost the full day so my experience is zero stars...

The lady guide, was very honest, spoke about the history of Malta, buildings, churches and Malteses culture. Marsaxlokk village and the local market, were interesting, so many souvenirs to choose from (I would say: walk first to the end of market, and when you go back to bus you already will know where is what you want or need). The driver was very polite and stopped for us to see the Blue Grotto Arch. Sadly, because of wind it wasn’t possible to go by boat, but we had more time for walk in the village, which quite nice. Qrendi, was short walk through the centre, little roads, nice architecture (in all places). Love it!

Our guide was great and pickup/drop off went pretty quickly. It was great to see the highlights, but I wish we had a bit more time in each place as it felt a little rushed. An extra hour in each stop would have been fantastic. Definitely do the blue grotto trip - it costs a bit extra but is worth it! That part is pretty rushed too by the local guides but the water is so beautiful.
