TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Valletta Shore Excursion

This Valletta cruise tour enjoys a boat ride to one of Malta's natural beauties, the Blue Grotto. Also included is free time in the charming fishing village of Marsaxlokk, where time stands still.

After meeting your private licensed guide at the pier you drive to Wied Iz-Zurrieq. Along the way you'll stop at an overlook to photograph the Blue Grotto from above. Then you board a small private fishing boat which will ferry you along the rugged coastline and into the Blue Grotto, which is only accessible by sea. One of Malta's most beautiful spots, it is best to visit in the morning when the sun's angle amplifies its beauty. The limestone cave is about 120 feet in circumference and the water reaches a depth of 75 feet.

After the beautiful grotto boat ride you'll stop in Marsaxlokk, a charming fishing village. Here you'll have the opportunity to soak up the sleepy village atmosphere with brightly colored boats and fishermen mending their nets. You have free time in this quaint village full of life and color, and if you are lucky there will be an outdoor market along the harbor selling local handcrafts.

Mobility: NO wheelchair

Reviewer: George C from Whitby Ontario  
Thank you for the email. We surely enjoyed the trip to Europe. The three tours we booked through you were excellent. The guides were excellent, with a real in depth understanding of the history and culture of the places we visited. Weather was very good in Cannes and Malta. A little morning rain storm in Split, but it cleared after lunch. Everything was very flexible and I believe we got to see everything that we wanted to. The group found the price to reasonable, especially compared to the ship tours and large bus groups that they deal with. I think we got to see some very interesting areas that the buses normally cant reach. We have advised our travel agent of the services you provide and our satisfaction with them.

Reviewer: Donald C from Carmichael CA  
We have been back from our trip to Europe for over a month now. For all of my family is was truly a trip of a lifetime. The Malta tour which you booked for me was a great tour to start with. I selected the three old cities in Malta--Mdina, Mosta, and Rabat for our tour in Malta and it was a good choice. The Our Lady of Assumption Church at Mosta was beautiful, particularly the dome. St Pauls catacombs were really interesting and hard to believe they did that by hand. Walking the streets of Mdina was also special. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She definitely was proud of her country Malta. It was a great tour and someday God willing Im going to take my grandsons to Europe and Malta will certainly be one of my stops. Thanks for all the help. You guys came up big..

Reviewer: Leslie L from New Orleans, LA  
I just wanted to take quick minute to let you know that the tours we booked with you with Sarahs help were absolutely amazing. Each tour guide andor driver was polite, professional, and exceptionally accommodating to our family of 6. I especially loved that it was private. . . it allowed for a more intimate experience and we had the opportunity to ask tons of questions within the confines of our family. Youve got a great business going and wish you continued success. If it would help for me to write reviews elsewhere, please direct me. We had overheard people after arriving back to the ship feeling they were cattled into buses, etc --- not us, we were happy, smiling, and content driven around in luxury vehicles by amazing guides. Thank you again for working with such fantastic tour guides and drivers. We could not be more pleased! )
