“Good trip but people need to heed the advice of the guide at the market. Please ensure you have no valuables on display or they are in front of you. 1 couple lost their money and cards. It is difficult to contact the police. If you have poor mobility not a trip for you as there is walking involved.”

6.Hagar Qim temple (UNESCO), Limestone Heritage & Marsaxlokk Market guided tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Review of Malta’s Hagar Qim, Limestone Heritage, Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk, and Ghar Dalam tour, with lunch, pickup, and practical tips.

“While the tour guide was excellent - well organized, informative, responsive - I was disappointed that we spent a very short time at Hagar Qim, didn’t get to see Mnajdra at all, and spent almost an hour at Limestone Heritage and the garden. I came to see the ancient ruins. We were rushed through viewing Hagar Qim in about 20 minutes, then later people were milling around the garden with nothing to do for 50 minutes waiting to leave. The times should have been reversed!”
