The Hagar Qim temple is incredible. The artifacts in the museum were worth the time to visit. It was a shame we didn’t have the time to visit the second temple. The blue lagoon was interesting and well worth the additional cost. Lunch was very good and was the service.

La prise en charge était bien organisée, nous avons trouvé notre chauffeur très facilement. Notre guide parlait français et italien. Parfait pour voir plusieurs sites dans la même journée car nous ne voulions pas conduire à Malte. Bonne organisation du temps et des différentes étapes. Je recommande pour le tarif, c'est un bon rapport qualité prix pour ceux qui ont un petit budget comme nous.Sehr interessant, aber Sightseeing fand hauptsächlich in der Zeit von 12 - 14 Uhr statt. In diesem Zeitraum ist es in Malta im September heiß und feucht.

The group was far too big this meant much of the day was spent hangng around for people. The group was bi lingual (Italian and English) so much of the day was spent listening to a foreign language. As a consequence of the size and bi lingual nature of the group we did not have enough time to explore any of the places visited. For example we were given just 10 mins to explore Hagar Qim temples and so did not even get to see Mnajdra (which according to the guide books is even better preserved than Hagar Qim). This trip was the most disappointing part of my trip to Malta.Très bon guide ! Activité intéressante, jolie rencontre et un plus pour les grottes bleu même si c’est un peu rapide à mon goût !
