Itinerary

60 min

The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Furthermore it is said that St. Paul resided inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat. 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.

20 min

Dingli Cliffs are located off the village of Dingli, which is on Malta’s West Coast. These cliffs stage Malta’s highest point which is that of around 253 metres.

What you can find at the Crafts Village in Ta' Qali The crafts village in Ta’ Qali is located in the former RAF wartime air-field and is a very popular tourist attraction in Malta.

Valletta (or Il-Belt) is the tiny capital of the Mediterranean island nation of Malta. The walled city was established in the 1500s on a peninsula by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order.

Enjoyed the relaxing tour w/ multiple stops

We were picked up near our ship on time. Our driver, John, was very professional and treated us extremely well! He asked if there was anything in particular we like to see and took great care to show us so many important spots around the entire island! We enjoyed our day. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Nice job Petra

Just what we planned - a tour of Maltas highlight, a nice lunch in a sea town and back to the port. Petra was bouyant and gave us a lot of information.

Mediocre

The half-day tour should include 4 stops. The first stop was a place that was not on the list. In the end, we saw two of the four places and stopped at others instead. Especially unfortunate - a village that is supposed to be known for its craftsmanship was not visited at all; when we asked about it, we were told it is in a completely different direction and we would not make it in time. Instead, we learned a lot about our driver's hobby - unfortunately, we were not the right audience for his favorite topic.

Our driver Alex was both...

Our driver Alex was both friendly and very knowledgeable. We started the tour early, as he was already waiting for us and he was very accommodating to change the planned agenda to suit our requirements. I would thoroughly recommend booking this trip - you will not be disappointed..!

See the island of Malta in comfort

Great overview of Malta.There was flexibility in choosing areas to go. The company’s plan is a good one. John was a thoughtful driver with lots of information and insights. He gave us a local snack at the end of the Tour and provided us with water on a hot day.

Excellent, highly recommend this tour and our guide/driver Kenneth

Great experience. Kenneth was a great driver/guide, helpful along the way and made sure we made the best of our time. Flexible and practical with timings so we could have enough time in Valetta. Enjoyed all stops we made. Some routes along the way are very narrow and winding roads but felt safe and comfortable with Kenneth’s driving. He was also very helpful, always ready and easy to find when we were moving to the next stop, while not making us feel rushed. We went slightly over time and he kindly stopped to let us see a nice view of popeye village and take some pictures before the drop off. Definitely a tour worth taking, loved all locations but Mdina was a favourite. It’s very busy however but absolutely worth it.
