          I was confused when I first got to Malta about what to do untilI discovered supreme guided tours , it was happy I used their tours because everything was on point, transport was nice, guiders are very experienced and friendly.

          Nice tour to do on a Sunday
          While it was windy, the tour was great. There was a delay because of the buses had some issues and had to replace. Went to the Blue Grotto and saw the seven different caves. It was so awesome and blue (which is my favorite color); keep in mind, visiting this on a tour is not always a guarantee based on wind and water conditions. You can walk or take some transportation that costs a $1. I think it is a car. The fishing village was very nice as well. You could literally spend a whole day there but two hours or so. Highly recommend. I probably would not procrastinate.

          Ok tour
          The older tour guide picked us up then we had to wait for English guide. She showed up but not where tour guide thought she’d be. We finally located her the tour guide who did the itanlian and French tour was very obviously annoyed with the tour guide that we were waiting for “ she is being malicious “ was one of her complaints other than that trip was good. The tour 8 to ten hours. I was home by five. We could have done more on Gozo. And the train is not a train. It’s a kids train

          Bad. Don’t go.
          Rambling narrator. Nothing like what was advertised. Do not waste your money out your time. The guide was rambling and incoherent

          The beauty of Malta by night
          I LOVED THIS TOUR! this was easy the highlight of our trip! We booked this just thinking we’d get to see the main sights but our tour guide gave us soooo much more than that! She was funny, informative and extremely engaging, I just can’t remember her name sorry! We stayed in Mellieha and we got picked up at the door of our hotel and then taken to Valletta. To experience a new city in the middle of the night is quite something. The 5D show was alright but not really my thing, still very informative and interesting to learn about the history of the island! (I can’t actually see 3D effects but that’s my issue, not yours!). Mdina was fabulous. To see it at night, the winding streets and little corners is fabulous. And finally, to visit the Mosta dome and see the famous miracle basilica, just wow. Well worth the money, I’d return and do this tour again and again!

          Overwhelming luck with a 95-year-old
          To have overwhelming luck with a 95-year-old is probably one of the rare, but in this case it was completely right. A fantastic excursion with knowledgeable and committed guides and drivers as well as a nice lunch. Recommended ;) Would have gotten 110 percent if the guide wasn't missing at the flight museum. Highly recommended:)

          Not what was advertised
          Terrible! Guide didn’t seem to know what she was doing. Bus was for kindergarten children, even the smallest adult couldn’t sit straight on a seat. We spent an hour waiting for other guests(not their fault) at Mosta. A rushed look round the rotunda, Maltese platter, then onto aviation museum, which was the best bit, the guide there Ray was excellent

          Use Hello Malta to book your trips!
          This tour is very good, you get to see many places of interest and the blue grotto at the end was beautiful, sadly the sea was rough today so we could not do a boat trip to see the grotto up close but didn’t ruin the trip. I have booked 3 tours with hello Malta, they were opposite my hotel and Marilyn was lovely and knowledgeable about all the trips. I settled on Gozo and blue lagoon (amazing a must do) 1/2day to Mdina (again amazing trip loads of destinations of wonderful Malta) Mario and Michael were the tour guides and they were both fantastic people and made the tours even better.

          Thorough tour and enjoyable day
          Great way to see Gozo and hassle free. Host explained everything well and there was sufficient time at each stop. Underwater cave by boat was the highlight. Trackless train seemed pointless though.

          Important information!
          The tours plan wasn’t done. It was in such hurry, I have feeling that I just looked around. At first we waited a bus 30 minutes. Departure was planned at 8:55. The drivers comment was ,,I don’t have a helicopter”. We had 45 minutes stop at historical place and had been listening to guides speech. The next stop also was a cathedral and we were there also nearly 30 minutes . From my perspective that guide likes historical and religious sites and thats why it was organized in that way. In a tour brochure was information that we should see Blu Grotto. We came there and found out that to see Blu Grotto we need go into the see with boats. That wasn’t available because of wind . Ok . I got it , but they only gave us free 20 minutes. I had a feeling no one was going to give us an opportunity to hire boats for Blu Grotto if it would have been possible . After this we had only an hour and 15 minutes for Marsaxlokk. We should walk around , take pics , admire the view and had dinner in that period of time . Also in tour brochure was announcement we should visit St. Paul's pool, but No, tour organizer missed it. Last stop was Kalanka bay . The guide gave us 45 minutes . I protested and then we were given an hour . I am disappointed. Not recommended!

          Don't book
          I made a reservation 3 weeks ago, but I was told that it was not possible today because it was full of reservations on the same day. I asked for a pick up, but I waited two hours and was told. should not be booked I just wasted my time

          Disappointing
          This was sold a a 4 hour tour, we were 30 Mts late being picked up the bus then spent 60 mts picking up at various locations. The “3 Cities “ tour consisted of a one hour walk round “one” city and the other two being pointed out. The “Wine Tasting “ was just that, we got a taste but not a drink !!!

          Donna fabulous lady knows her stuff
          A lovely lady by the name of Donna arranged this amazing trip. She was so very helpful explaining about the best places to go and see this lovely island of Malta. She really knows her stuff! Where to go and what to see. She even looked up the weather for that day, she arranged for us to go Sicily for the day. She went beyond her duties and escorted us to our buses. I wasn’t to good with the speed boat trip but it was so easy to get another option to get back for our day out. Blue logon is a must!!! Silent city is another one to see. And the Dome beautiful 🙏 Donna you’re not paid enough! And you’re a credit to your team and company. Keep up the good work and hope to see you soon

        Very entertaining and informative. Sites are well preserved. Our guide's storytelling was intriguing (we advise one to pay attention for the juicy details). Enjoyed very much this short glance on Malta's prehistoric civilisations's way of life, objects of worship and building style. Reccomended!

        I was in Malta for a limited time, and definitely wanted to see all these places, and was happy to find a tour that let me visit them in a short amount of time. On my own, I definitely would have spent a little more time at each location - perhaps another 30 minutes each. The guide was very knowledgeable, and able to answer all our questions. I'm glad I went to the archaeology museum in Valletta earlier in the week where the original artifacts from the temples are on display - There are replicas of several of the artifacts removed from the Tarxien temples at the site, but this was not the case for Hagar Qim or Mnajdra - there are just pictures for most of the objects. I did enjoy being able to walk through the temples; even in a group, it didn't feel too cramped on the walkways.

        The only thing I was annoyed by was transportation: if you're getting picked up from Valletta, you will be the first picked up, and last dropped off (at least on my tour day, and I doubt they change it). I'm glad I had a good breakfast and brought snacks because I left my hotel at 7:30am and was dropped off after 2pm. If you need a snack, there was a little cafe cart in the parking lot for the temples.

        Great sights— the cave is wild, snd Not to be missed. But the tour guide didn’t tell us much beyond what was on plaques and signage at each site. It was a pretty large group, and you spent 45 min+ driving around to pick everyone up. If I did it again, I would just take Uber or Bolt to each place. Again, the sites themselves are fantastic and the tour guide was perfectly nice and very organized, professional, etc. Certainly a trustworthy and legit your company.

        We thought this was an excellent tour with a very good guide. We had long enough time at each site. We only wish it had included Tarxien temple too. The cart that used to take people between the temples is not there at the moment and some of our party were unable to walk the 800m between the two

        This tour was organsied by Supreme Travel, one of the three we booked for our week's stay and this was the best. After a slightly disorganised and long pickups, we had a fabulous day with Mark. Mark was an excellent guide, informative, clear, patient, happy to take questions and answer them. We loved the Caves of Darkness and its little museum - so interesting and well explained. The prehistoric temples were amazing and we were given enough time to ponder and take pictures. Mark was engaging and organised, the tours were well paced.
        All in all a highly recommended trip - must see on Malta.

        Brilliant tour guide Mark who was very knowledgeable, efficient and enthusiastic throughout the whole tour. Sufficient time allowed at each tour stop and Mark ensured that every member of the tour was catered to in terms of native language. Thomas the driver was very courteous and a good driver. Pick up was a little late, however a quick call to the tour operator provided a good update. Would recommend to anyone interested in prehistoric sites.

        Well organised and on time - email to confirm hotel pick up time the night before and minibus direct back rather than with main coach. Good guide. Hagar Qim is the best of the temples in my opinion but enjoyed both Mnajdra and the cave at Ghar Dalam as well.

        Very interesting. There’s a lot of walking and steps, which didn’t bother me; but some may find it difficult. Tour guide very knowledgeable. The down side was not enough time to wander round the ruins, due to time taken to get there. I think that it would be very hot in the Summer; as walking to the ruins is very open. Wear shoes, not sandals, the ground is a bit rough. On the whole a good trip.

        Rather rushed. Could have done without visiting The Dark Cave and spending more time @ the Temples. Would have liked more of a look around & chance to go to visitors centre.
        Can't say I learnt much from our guide also.
        Felt it was quite good value despite this but I would have preferred the trip to be longer with a lunch break.
