Customer Reviews
Stunning, highly reccommend going to both sites and looping to the congreve memorial as well. Amazing view of Filfia and also there was a kitty :)
Ħaġar Qim is one of Malta’s most significant Neolithic temple sites, dating back to 3600–3200 BC and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was fascinating to explore this ancient place and experience a glimpse of Malta’s deep history.
Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had just the right amount of time at each stop and appreciated the quick transportation back to our hotel. Can’t think of anything that needs to be done better.
