Temples were amazing (my 2nd visit). Organisation left a lot to be desired. Hotel staff and reps had no knowledge of trip. Coach and driver sat outside hotel for nearly half hour, (1 of 5 buses), no indication on coach or by driver of tour/whom picking up. Eventually made self known and rudely accused me of being late. Bad temper driving round on the collections. No sign of guide until last pickup point. Once tour started was very good, however, not enough allocated time to be able to include the gift shop/museum visit afterwards. Rude driver perked up when I handed him a monetary tip at the end of the trip. Like to leave them smiling.

Rather rushed. Could have done without visiting The Dark Cave and spending more time @ the Temples. Would have liked more of a look around & chance to go to visitors centre. Can't say I learnt much from our guide also. Felt it was quite good value despite this but I would have preferred the trip to be longer with a lunch break.

Our guide, Mark, is a very knowledgeable young man. He brought us to 3 amazing ancient sites, explained their significance and then let us explore in our own. Well organized and delivered. Highly recommend this half day tour. PS Thank you to Mark and the bus driver who was able to maneuver the windy streets of Malta.

First, Ghar Dalam (Cave of Darkness) with animal bones from 10,0000 years ago both mounted in display cases and still in the ground, and with evidence , at a later level, of the earliest human settlers from c. 5,000BC. Fascinating backgound theory as to the huge changes in the level of the Mediterranean Sea and its resulting coastline caused by climate change from before and during the last ice age. Then, the 5,500 year old monolithic temples of Hagar Qim (Monolithic Devotion) and Manajdra (Calendar) just two of the many on the islands predating the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge. Mark was an excellent and knowledgeable guide pacing the tour well and providing just the right amount of informatrion and insight (with more on offer if required). Pickup and drop off were from and to various hotels around the island (including ours in Qawra to the north), but we found it convenient to be dropped off at Valletta on our way back from the morning's tour to spend the afternoon in the old town (with its small National Archaeological Museum on Republic Street) as well as its many other attractions and interests (including the opportunity to take in some much more recent history in the Lascaris War Rooms).

Very entertaining and informative. Sites are well preserved. Our guide's storytelling was intriguing (we advise one to pay attention for the juicy details). Enjoyed very much this short glance on Malta's prehistoric civilisations's way of life, objects of worship and building style. Reccomended!

The temples were amazing. The history shared by our tour guide was very insightful, but not overwhelming.

We were picked up early from the hotel as scheduled then drove over to Silemia to wait for 30 min only to transfer to a larger bus. No communication of what was happening during this time. On the way back we were dropped off at our hotels in order by the larger bus. -- half day tour but the actual visits to the sites only about 2 hours, rest of the time was spent on/waiting on the bus. Recommend pick up by actual bus and more information provided about the history of the island, sites etc., during travel.

Mario and Marc were excellent tour guides. They provided exceptional information and were very friendly and helpful.
