What To Expect
Mdina Old City
After pick-up from your location in Malta, around 9:00 am, we will start our journey by visiting the old city of Mdina. Located in a very central location, this imposing fortified town is built strategically on a hill giving a dynamic view of the whole island and its landscape. The ramparts are a vantage point for the onlookers and photo enthusiasts. Its roots date back to the late Roman times, but the hill is believed to have been settled since Neolithic times. You can spend time wandering along the narrow street and the ramparts. Cross the street you can try the local pastizzi - a local pastry delight filled with peas or cheese.
St Paul's Catacombs
After your visit in Mdina one can visit the Paleo-Christian Catacombs of St Paul. Serving as a burial ground from Punic and Roman times, the site represents the earliest and largest archaeological evidence of Christianity in Malta. Its association to the saint derives from the myth that this cluster of catacombs was once connected with St Paul’s Grotto. This site has an admission fee and can be challenging in some areas but still a wonder for the history enthusiast.

Solid day of great, guided sightseeing

5.00Really enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Mike, was very friendly, knowledgable of Malta sights, and full of interesting history nuggets. His driving was great, and took us to all the great sights. Our butts were wore out after 8 full hours of sightseeing! Great value for one or two couples without a rental car.
Exceeded our expectations

5.00This was a wonderful day trip. Our driver, Michael, was very informative, and we had a very full day exploring the sites of Malta. It was great to be driven around in comfort and to have the history of Malta explained. Great pics too

3.00I didn't like the walk very much. We had other expectations. I thought it would be a private city tour, but we were simply left in the sights and after some time wanted. You didn't get what I'd like. But the driver was super polite. We just don't really like it. I would never do it again.

5.00We had Michael as our driver, and I think he's the owner. He was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. He took us to places on our list plus more. We absolutely loved it. Although its an expensive way to travel for just a couple, it was well worth it. We covered everything we wanted to see in just 1 day, leaving us the other days to explore beaches.
A great day touring Malta with Michael!

5.00We spent a day with Michael touring around Malta. Michael was a great tour guide. He helped us see a lot of the island in one day. We were able to combine his ideas as to what to see with some additional stops along the way. He had many stories about the island to share. We would highly recommend spending a day with Michael to get to know more about Malta.

5.00It is better than joining a bus load of people. A more relaxed and enjoyable experience in a comfortable car. It makes the trip easier as you don’t have to wait for lot’s of other people to get on and off the bus. The local driver was very informative and able to share about more intimate aspects of life in Malta.
Great way to see the island

5.00Michael was really informative and asked if there was anything specific we wanted to see or do do he could tailor the tour more to our preferences. We did the full day and it was a great way to see all the main sights in one go. Well worth the money

5.00I can just get lost wandering around the streets admiring the houses with the colorful patios in Valetta. It was also a delight to experience the Christmas market at Rabat and walk around Mdina. Michael shared a wealth of Maltese history and culture as he drove and as we walked around. Thanks Michael!
