One (1) great tour guide; Three (3) amazing sites - 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.

An amazing glimpse of Malta's prehistory. - 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).

Stones of time - Awesome place so much pre history .the cafe was closed and the monument is 500m from drop off point, so best to take your own water ,as there is nothing at the monument

Pre-historic culture in Malta - 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!

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

Rushed visit - 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.

2 hr tour/ 2.5 on the bus - 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.

Excellent sites, but would go on my own - Great sights— the cave is wild, snd Not to be missed. But the tour guide didn’t tell us much beyond what was on plaques and signage at each site. It was a pretty large group, and you spent 45 min+ driving around to pick everyone up. If I did it again, I would just take Uber or Bolt to each place. Again, the sites themselves are fantastic and the tour guide was perfectly nice and very organized, professional, etc. Certainly a trustworthy and legit your company.
