An amazing boat trip to visit the blue Grotto Caves. Once upon a time, nestled along the rugged coastline of Malta, there was a mystical place known as the Blue Grotto. Legend had it that this cavernous marvel was the secret hideaway of the sea nymphs, who danced in its azure waters under the shimmering light of the sun. (OPTIONAL) Blue Grotto boat ride €10pp they accept cash only, if you're interested bring some € cash
Mdina, often referred to as the "Silent City," is a fortified medieval town located in the northern region of Malta. It served as the island's capital until the medieval period and is one of the most historically significant locations in Malta. Mdina is characterized by its narrow, winding streets, imposing city walls, and well-preserved Baroque and medieval architecture. The town offers stunning panoramic views of the Maltese countryside and the Mediterranean Sea. With its rich history, cultural heritage, and picturesque surroundings, Mdina is a popular destination for tourists seeking to explore Malta's past and immerse themselves in its timeless charm.
The Dingli Cliffs are a natural wonder located on the western coast of Malta. They offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and are renowned as one of the highest points on the island, reaching heights of up to 250 meters above sea level. These dramatic limestone cliffs are a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering opportunities for scenic walks, picnics, and photography. The cliffs provide a stunning backdrop for watching the sunset, making them a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the natural beauty of Malta.
Valletta is the capital city of Malta, located on the country's northeastern coast. It's renowned for its rich history, UNESCO-listed architecture, and strategic position in the Mediterranean.

Mark was super...everything we saw was perfect. Blue grotto boat ride was very nice. I would have liked time to swim there. Take some time from the Mdina...that was maybe alittle too long in the sun. All in all - great day!
We were picked up at the harbor as agreed and greeted warmly. The tour went as described. We always had enough time for photos, etc. My highlight was the boat tour through the caves and Mdina. Afterward, we had the opportunity to explore the old town of Valletta on our own. After the tour, we received a few nice photos via email. All in all, a successful trip. The tour was varied. It was a beautiful day. We can definitely recommend Marlen Tours.
Both drivers Lewis and Mark were very personable and so knowledgeable about the history of Valletta and Malta. Loved the views and architecture in the cities.
The positives for this tour are: guide was on-time, the initial communication was good and the transportation was very nice. Unfortunately, no boat ride was available at the blue grotto-not the guide's fault. The problem with our tour is it was a 4 hour tour starting at 9 so we were supposed to be delivered back to the pickup spot by 1:00 & that did not happen. Guide said they were giving us a "gift" of extra time dropping us several miles from the cruise port for time on our own. We told him we did not want that gift & needed to be back at 1:00 as scheduled. He spent 30 minutes of everyone's time on the phone trying to find a way to get us back to port but did not. We finally just left & took a taxi at our expense. They clearly had scheduling issues that day & were not able to get us back until 1 1/2 hours after the promised time. When I complained, he insulted me for not wanting to spend more time. You can NOT run a business this way-especially for cruise customers.
This notice was sent to all passengers, including yourself, who were booked on the tour. Dear Tammy, Marlen Tours Malta extended your tour from 4 hours to 5 hours at no additional cost. The extra hour was added to help compensate for any delays that may occur due to increased summer traffic and seasonal operating conditions. If you did not agree with this change, you had the option to cancel your tour on the day the notice was sent without incurring any cancellation fees. Kind regards, Mark Difesa Manager Marlen Tours Malta

MANY guests had trouble finding the meeting point. Address said something different from map from photos. Stressful way to start. Messages to tour operator were not answered promptly. MUCH less time in Mdina than advertised so were rushed, just drove by Valetta (no stops), too long at Cliffs. Blue Grotto was fabulous but that was separate cost with local boat. Left late, returned early. Would not book again.
