We didn't know what to expect - Malta was an unexpected pleasure tour. Our guide Liam was fun and knowledgeable as he took us to places others on our cruise didn't get to see. We explored the Grottoes from the water level. The blue color is so blue in the caves and they really can't explain what makes them that blue. We toured the city and then the city inside the city. It was one of our longest tours but showed us so much about a place we knew so little about. At the end Liam introduced us to a little known street food which was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this excursion.

Recommend! - Our guide Liam was brilliant, so knowledgeable and a great storyteller, giving us so many facts and legends about different parts of the island. All the stops were well thought out and with a small group of 6 we were able to go at a nice slow pace which was appreciated due to the heat (28c) as was the air conditioned mini bus. Was perfect trip for our cruise stop, got to see all over the island.
