4.00Our knowledgeable and very personable guide took us on a walking tour of the Mdina and Valletta, both very interesting! We were a bit disappointed that a tour of the Co-Jon Cathedral was not included. We could go on our own but the ticket lines were very long. Otherwise a good tour.

5.00Pleasant ride from our cruise ship to the ancient city of Mdina takes you back in time. Our guide Alyona led us at an easy pace highlighting the history and current uses of the buildings, palaces and churches and the influences of the Order of the Knight St. John. Back to the busy streets of Valletta we learned more about the past and present especially the areas that survived earthquakes and bombings and then the newer areas created to blend in. Spectacular views of the beautiful harbors below.

Malta’s history, beauty, and culture in one tour

5.00This is a super tour to see and hear about some of the most important sites and events in Malta’s long and complex historical timeline — in just half a day. Our guide Stephen had a deep and rich understanding of Malta’s past and brought it to life. In addition, as a native Maltese, he also pointed out the culture and beauty of the island today. Malta was one the most beautiful stops on our Mediterranean trip. We loved this tour. There was a good deal of walking, but it was worth it to see and learn about all that we were presented with.
