Aunque la guía fue estupenda y nos dio una visión de la economía, costumbres y estudio social magnifica, la excursión es poca cosa, un mercadillo como los de España (tienen la misma ropa) y los souvenirs se pueden comprar en la Valeta o las 3 ciudades a mejor precio. La gruta azul si eres bajita como yo mejor ponerte delante en la barca xq tenía 2 moles de personas delante y es muy poco rato, si lo llego a saber elimino está excursión de mi lista. Yo la mejoraría con otra visita más cultural

Although the guide was excellent and gave us a magnificent insight into the economy, customs, and social studies, the excursion is not very interesting. It's a flea market like those in Spain (they have the same clothing), and you can buy souvenirs in Valletta or the other three cities at a better price. If you're short like me, it's better to sit in the front of the boat at the Blue Grotto because there were two tons of people in front of you and it wasn't a very long time. If I had known, I would have eliminated this excursion from my list. I would have improved it with another more cultural visit.

La verdad es que yo no repetiría. Te llevan al pueblo pesquero y te sueltan ahí a ver si tú te gastas el dinero comprando en el mercadillo (domingo) Luego te llevan a otro pueblo de al lado y literal te da una vuelta a un edificio y te explica la cultura del pueblo y al autobús otra vez. Y por último la Gruta, que son 15 min aprox y que no merece la pena

The truth is, I wouldn't go back. They take you to the fishing village and let you spend your money shopping at the market (Sunday). Then they take you to another nearby town and literally give you a tour of a building and explain the town's culture and get back on the bus. And finally, the Grotto, which is about 15 minutes away and not worth the trip.

El paseo en barca muy bonito. Poder entrar en las grutas con las barcas es una pasada. El resto de paradas curiosas sin más. El mercadillo no es gran cosa pero el puerto es bonito y te dejan bastante tiempo libre para hacer de todo. Organización correcta. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat ride was very nice. Entering the caves on the boats was amazing. The rest of the stops were simply interesting. The market isn't much to write home about, but the port is pretty, and they give you plenty of free time to do everything. Well-organized. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excursion bien organizada con los horarios ajustados y pudiendo diafrutar de la visita en barco a blue grotton que es muy bonita y luego al pueblo marinero de Marsaxlokk. Nuestra guia Julia muy buena, con informacion interesante. Una pena el calor que es excesivo. No me imagino julio y agosto... Translate this opinion into English.

A well-organized excursion with a tight schedule, allowing us to enjoy the boat trip to Blue Grotton, which is very beautiful, and then to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Our guide, Julia, was excellent, providing interesting information. It's a shame the heat is excessive. I can't imagine July and August... Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía que nos hizo la visita, Julia, muy bien. Lo malo fue la guía que nos recogió. Estábamos esperando con una familia, subimos todos al autobús que estaba en el punto de encuentro porque el chico que estaba nos dijo que subiéramos, cuando llegó el guía de ese tour nos dijo que era privado y nos bajamos. Estábamos flipando. Apareció la guía preguntando si éramos la gente que le faltaba, con malos modales, la seguimos hasta el autobús que estaba más atrás y en el carril contrario. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide who gave us the tour, Julia, was very good. The only downside was the guide who picked us up. We were waiting with a family. We all got on the bus at the meeting point because the guy who was there told us to get on. When the guide for that tour arrived, he told us it was a private tour and we got off. We were freaking out. The guide appeared, asking if we were the people she was missing. Rudely, we followed her to the bus that was further back and in the opposite lane. Opinion translated.

El mercadillo de Marsaxlokk no tiene nada de interesante y es lo único que ves; lo puedes hacer por libre mucho más económico y además tienes la posibilidad de coger un barquito para ir a St. Peters pool, cosa que está excursión no tiene. La gruta azul es muy bonita pero te dan el paseo muy rápido y no te da tiempo a saborearlo; es lo único que merece la pena. No recomiendo la excursion; buscar ir a la gruta azul por libre; eso sí merece la pena.

The Marsaxlokk market isn't very interesting and is the only thing you'll see. You can do it on your own for much less, and you also have the option of taking a boat to St. Peter's Pool, which this excursion doesn't offer. The Blue Grotto is very pretty, but the tour is rushed, leaving you with no time to really appreciate it; that's the only thing worthwhile. I don't recommend the excursion; try to go to the Blue Grotto on your own; that's definitely worth it.

Julia genial,sin ningún problema con ella,pero la EXCURSIÓN NO LA RECOMIENDO, te gastas 37€ para ir a la gruta azul q subir al barco son 10€ más, no 8 como pone en civitatis, hay que renovar la página CIVITATIS.La vuelta en barco no dura más de 15 mnt. Cuando llegas a Marxaloc, llegas tan tarde q los puestos de pescado están totalmente vacíos,voy a un pueblo pesquero que solo puedo comprar ropa etc...para eso lo veo en mi ciudad. Esta excursión tendría q ser al reves 1° Marxaloc

Julia is great, no problem with her, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE EXCURSION. You spend €37 to go to the Blue Grotto, getting on the boat is €10 more, not €8 as it says on Civitatis. You have to update your CIVITATIS page. The boat ride doesn't last more than 15 minutes. When you arrive in Marxaloc, you arrive so late that the fish stalls are completely empty. I go to a fishing village where I can only buy clothes, etc. I'll see that in my city. This excursion would have to be the other way around, 1st Marxaloc.

En la descripción de la actividad indicamos el precio de acceso a la gruta, que es de 10 euros. Aun así, tal como indicamos estos precios pueden variar de forma imprevista, ya que son servicios no incluidos sobre los que no tenemos control. Por otra parte, nuestro equipo local se esfuerza por hacer la visita intentando cumplir con todas las expectativas, esforzándose en que sea amena y enriquecedora para todos los visitantes. Sentimos si no ha cumplido con lo que esperabas. Translate this opinion into English.

In the activity description, we indicate the price of access to the cave, which is 10 euros. However, as indicated, these prices may vary unexpectedly, as they are non-included services over which we have no control. Furthermore, our local team strives to ensure the visit meets all expectations, making it enjoyable and enriching for all visitors. We apologize if it didn't meet your expectations.

Activité agréable avec une vue époustouflante dans la grotte bleue. Guide super mais le micro du car était trop pourri. Ses explications n’étaient du coup pas audible et compréhensible. Aucune possibilité de poser des questions au guide Translate this opinion into English.

Enjoyable activity with a breathtaking view of the Blue Grotto. Great guide, but the bus microphone was too bad. His explanations were therefore inaudible and incomprehensible. No opportunity to ask the guide questions. Opinion translated. Show original.

Demasiado tiempo recogiendo viajeros y poco tiempo en los lugares interesantes. Reconsiderar estrategia de recogida.
