What To Expect
Blue Grotto Il-Hnejja
This popular site attracts thousands of visitors per year, with tourists flocking here to see the amazing grotto via local boat trips (which rarely get crowded, despite the big numbers). It’s also a very popular diving, snorkelling and swimming spot, with very clear, clean and deep waters. Blue grotto boat ride cost of 10 Euros per person.
Mdina
Mdina was founded over 4000 years ago. It is the oldest fortified medieval town in Malta and sits on top of a hill. Mdina is said to have been where St Paul, the Apostle rested when he was shipwrecked. So if this is to be believed, this is a very ancient city. Its architecture is a mixture of baroque and medieval and there is just no place like it.

The worst tour I have ever had
Bruno S,Jun 15, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00We recently booked a private van tour of Malta. We knew we would have seniors with us, and that’s why we booked a tour where we could have flexibility and control of the itinerary. When we arrived to the time and place we’d set for meeting, the tour van was nowhere to be found. We had to call and coordinate with the central office, and started the tour late. First stop: We stopped in the market for a few minutes, enjoyable but unremarkable. Second stop: We then proceeded to the Blue Grotto. The view is indeed spectacular. We couldn’t go down to a boat because of seniors mobility issues (88, 85, 84 and 81). The next stop was Mdina. We asked if there would be a place for the seniors to wait, like a restaurant, while we walked in Mdina. Our tour guide said there would be a bench in the sun, that there were no restrooms or restaurants in Mdina. She said that the only available bathroom would be the one in the outlook for the blue grotto. So, without another option, the seniors went down a ramp to go to the bathroom and had extreme difficulty coming back up. We asked if they could stay in the van while we walked around for an hour in Mdina. She said she couldn’t leave the AC on while they were inside because: “running AC would be a waste of diesel”. We asked if she could take them back to the port and then be back to pick us up in 1h, since the round trip drive would only be 50 minutes. She said she couldn’t do it. We decided to go anyway. We got to Mdina, and surprise! There was plenty of shade, plenty of restaurants and plenty of benches in the shade. Our tour guide was completely unknowledgeable. The answers to our questions were met with one sentence answers. She didn’t know any facts, history, or stories about Malta. She did mention the runway of the airport was above us in a tunnel. When we got to the blue grotto she said, and I’m not exaggerating: “when you board the boat, there will be a view of the sea”. When I asked about the history of Malta, silence. Then, after we got we back from the market, she read basic facts from Wikipedia out loud. Throughout the whole tour, the guide was constantly on the phone while driving. The only good thing I can say is that she drove and didn’t crash.
Driver was nice, but he is not a tour guide so he didn't have much history to add.

3.00The driver is not a tour guide. He did not know the specific history of Malta and was not able to take us for walking tours

4.00This will be a duel review. The beginning was a one star experience. The driver showed up and we got in his car. Then he told us that the AC in his car was not working. He told us we could stay with him or transfer to another driver. Since it was going to be a hot day we said we would take the next driver, 15 minutes later the new driver showed up. Then new driver was Kevin and he was fabulous. I would give Kevin 5 stars. He drove us where we wanted to go and took us places we didn’t even know about. We would book Kevin again if we return to Malta. One other note, the drivers use their personal vehicles so there isn’t any water or Wi-Fi. Viator needs to be more careful in their descriptions to ensure that everything they say will be there is actually there.
Great tour around Malta.
