The time shown on the website or on your ticket is the approximate start time of the activity and not the time when you will be picked up from your hotel (or closest meeting point). At least a few days before the date of your activity, you need to make sure to contact the tour operator to confirm your pick-up location and pick-up time. Your pick-up time can be anytime between 8:15 AM and 9:00 AM, depending on where you are staying.

The tour will be guided in the language you have booked; however, please note that, at times, depending on operational circumstances, the commentary might be provided by a multilingual guide (limited to a maximum of 2 languages).

The tour in Spanish will be conducted by either a Spanish-speaking guide (subject to availability) or an English-speaking guide together with a Spanish-speaking host serving as a translator.

The boat trip at the Blue Grotto is optional (to be paid on location), and it’s always subject to favourable weather conditions. The fee for the boat trip is around €10 for adults and €5 for children (the fee can change without any prior notice).

The market at Marsaxlokk might be closed on public holidays falling on a Sunday and on other rare occasions as determined by the local council of the village. When this happens, the visit to the Marsaxlokk fishing village will be carried out normally, but if the market is closed, we will visit a different market.

Although we usually visit Qrendi for our village walk, the provider reserves the right to change the location to another typical Maltese village, when this happens, we always make sure that the tour will retain the same appeal, charm, and value of the original programme/itinerary.

The tour operator reserves the right to change the order of the visits without any prior notice.

What To Expect

Marsaxlokk

We start our tour with a visit to the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk. This gorgeous village is the largest fishing harbour in Malta, and has been so since antiquity, today the greater part of fish sold on the islands are caught by fishermen coming from this village. Traditional “luzzu’s” (brightly coloured traditional fishing boats) and larger fishing vessels line the sheltered harbour in a colourful display that has been the subject of countless photoshoots.

Marsaxlokk is also popular for its many delightful restaurants and nice cafés huddled along its entire promenade and for it’s charming and large open-air market, selling a vast assortment of food and a wide array of durable goods, such as fish, locally produced honey and fruit jams, traditional sweets and other delicacies, local wines and liquors, souvenirs, clothes, shoes, traditional lacework and crafts, custom jewellery, accessories and many more. This is the perfect location to spend a Sunday morning, enjoying a stroll in the unique settings of this quaint village where you can rub your shoulders with the locals, experience the Maltese way of life and admire the lovely sea views while browsing the market, looking for ‘that’ perfect deal!

    I did this trip in January and it was exactly what it said on the tin. There was plenty of time at each stop. We didn’t get to go in a boat at the grotto, but this didn’t matter. The only thing that let it down (that wasn’t the tours fault) was grown adults arguing because they didn’t sit back in the same seat as when they got off at the first stop. Utterly embarrassing. The market does get very busy, so be warned (I went out of season and it was HEAVING!)

  • A great guided tour with a very knowledgeable guide.

    The guide was great. Lots of great information. The village is just a tourist trap. The Blue Grato was beautiful and felt very rushed at just 20 minutes.
