What To Expect
Ggantija Archaeological Park
We start our tour by visiting the megalithic temples of Ġgantija, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980, this impressive archaeological site dates to c. 3600-2500 BC, along with Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples and Skorba Temples in Malta, the temples of Ġgantija are believed to be the second oldest free-standing monuments on Earth, second only to Göbekli Tepe in Turkey and predating Stonehenge in England, and the Pyramids of Egypt by approximately 1000 years! The etymology of “Ġgantija” is derived from the Maltese word for giant (“Ġgant”) because it was believed the site was built by a race of giants. This mythological idea makes sense considering that the temples are constructed from megaliths (massive limestone blocks) measuring more than five meters in length and weighing over 50 tons.
Victoria
After visiting the temples of Ġgantija we will proceed to visit Victoria, the delightful capital city of Gozo. Victoria is not just the geographic heart of Gozo; it is also the centre of everyday activity. It manages to combine the bustle of its market and shops with a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. It is a great place to watch the islanders go about their day, especially when the main market square comes to life.

The worst tour I’ve ever took

1.00Overpriced, disorganized, waste of time. If you want to see Gozo, go yourself. Charging close to $100 for a tour you share with about 50 people is not right. I wanted to see Gozo and decided that it will be easier for me to take a tour. The information stated that the tour starts at 9:45am. Only the day before the tour I was informed that I need to be ready for the pick up at 8:15. The pick up van smelled like an old ashtray and we were treated to the loud music from the radio the entire ride. Later it became clear that we are brought to a tourist “hoarding” point where we were divided by languages and transferred into the buses. After that the confusion of moving everyone to the huge ferry boat and then getting back on another bus in Gozo. While there are some interesting places on the island that one could explore if you would come on your own, here you are stuck on the full bus, realizing too late that you will have to “suffer” through the whole day of this like it or not. The horrible lunch only crowned the whole experience. When we came in the restaurant was already filled with people from another 3 or 4 buses. The food was awful. Plenty of free time in the middle of nowhere before we were finally moving to our next destination. This was a total waste of my vacation day and $100. While our guide was nice enough it was not in her powers to change this experience. Malta doesn’t have all that many interesting things to see (especially when the summer season is over) and clearly there is not enough competition among smaller tourist agencies or individuals to offer more interesting tours for reasonably sized groups. Whoever organizes this tour either doesn’t care or doesn’t have a clue how to do this correctly.
