The transfer from the port to the ferry and back was well organized, stress free. We started at the ancient Ggantija Temples, had lunch at Xlendi Bay, then proceeded to the Citadella in Victoria before our last stop at Dwejra Bay where we enjoyed a boat ride to see Gozo's Blue Grotto and other caves. She was a very good guide, giving us all the information…”
