Itinerary
Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.
Located on Malta’s western coast, at 253 metres above sea-level Dingli Cliffs are the highest part of the Island. The cliffs are a popular attraction for tourists visiting Malta, heading there for a peaceful walk with boasting views of Filfla and the Mediterranean sea.
Souvenir shops, handmade ornaments, soaps, jewellery shops and glass blowing demos ...
The Mosta Dome is perhaps the most impressive church in Malta, with its massive rotunda, that is the third largest in Europe.
The capital city is abundantly rich in sites to see and explore, intriguing historical buildings around every corner: votive statues, niches, fountains and coats of arms high up on parapets. Narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and cafés, while Valletta's main streets are lined with larger international branded shops.
This fishing village is popular for a daily open-air market, offering a selection of the finest fish restaurants on the island and for the peaceful walks around the coast and harbour.
Highlights of Birgu, one of The Three Cities, include the Church of St. Lawrence, designed by Malta's most prominent baroque architect, Lorenzo Gafa', the Inquisitor's Palace, Fort St. Angelo and the Maritime Museum.
The location of this fascinating natural grotto combines with sunlight and the surrounding chain of caves to reflect the phosphorescent colours of the submerged flora and the deep dark shade of blue of the sea.´
The Ħaġar Qim temples are beautiful, a masterpiece of prehistoric masonry, and considering they were built between 3600 and 3200 BC, still very well preserved.

tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable - showed us all the sights - would recommend
Thank you for your lovely review!
Great tour and driver! We had the flexibility to customize as we went spending less or more time in places. It was super convenient to be dropped off at a location not worrying about parking and logistics. Totally stress free.
Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed the flexibility and stress-free experience.
Great guide, was really good to make sure we saw the sights we wanted to see whilst including other sights too. Well worth the money
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that your driver tailored the tour to your interests while also showcasing additional sights. Also glad you felt the experience was a great value.
We had a wonderful private tour all over Malta with our driver Salah Said. We were probably overly ambitious with all the things we wanted to see in the time frame we had, but Mr. Said was efficient, courteous, thoughtful, and attentive to our needs and desires. He is a true professional and we were fortunate to have him as our driver.
Many thanks for your review and for letting us know you had a wonderful tour on our island. We greatly appreciate your comments about our driver. Thank you!
The 4 hour tour with Salah took us to major sites like Mosta, Mdina, Rabat, Blue Grotto and more. He was flexible and offered various options. We did not stay long at any site, but had the option if we desired. Would highly recommend this tour!
Thanks for your review and we're happy to know you saw many of our island's main sites. Thank you for your recommendation.
My wife & I enjoyed our tour of Malta. Our Driver/Guide, Sahlia, was very accommodating and he made the adjustments necessary to meet our requests. He was always right on time at each of the pickup locations.
Thank you! Great to know that you both enjoyed the tour.
Good tour if you want a taste of Malta. We spend 3 hours in private car going to different destinations in Malta. It’s all customization which is great but is a little rushed, too much to see even though Malta is small
Thank you. Yes, Malta is small and may be compact but there's so much to see and 3 hours are, of course, not enough to see its many significant attractions. As you say, a 3-hour tour will give you just a taste of Malta but if one wants to soak in the atmosphere and see more of the island, we recommend our longer tours.
Frances Gauci arranged a wonder private driver for the four of us to see the southern portion of the island. We only had an afternoon available because of our schedule aboard Explora. Our driver showed the old town section of Valletta noting the gardens and the excellent harbor view point for pictures. Then off we went to see the colorful Fishing boats of the cute town Marsalis (sp) with time to walk the shopping stands along the promenade. The to the incredible Blue Grotto where we had time to take the small boat tour to see the intensely blue waters and the colorful rock caves. We still had time to explore the 5000 year Neolithic archaeological site Hagar Qim. These were all accompanied by very knowledgeable driver explaining life on Malta, Gozo and Comino. The driver made this short visit to Malta a perfect shore excursion with our limited available time. Use this provider with confidence!
This is so great ... to know you had a good time touring the south of our island and thank you for your wonderful, detailed review. The driver enjoyed showing you around and says you were excellent customers! Thank you!
Our driver Salah, who we had seen online previously had high marks, was most accommodating and met us at time at the cruise terminal. He customized our tour within our designated time constraint and was very knowledgeable of the island and its historical locations. Malta is quire barren and is being rapidly developed but there are still many sites worth of a visit.
We're grateful for your comments highlighting our driver's ability and effort to customize the tour around your limited time frame. Thank you!
Amazing fun filled packed 3 hours. Our driver / tour guide was very kind and friendly. Pick up location from the cruise port was super easy. We visited the Blue Grotto, saw a Maltese Falcon, spent over an hour at Hagar Quim megalithic temples which were fascinating and finally a quick 40 ish minute to visit the medieval town of Mdina, just a stunning walled city especially for GOT fans. Highly recommend this private tour when trying to squeeze in lots of sites in a short time.
We're thrilled that you were satisfied with our services and had an amazing day. Your comments are greatly appreciated! Thank you!
