Today’s guided excursion takes us to the central part of Malta, dominated by the medieval fortified city of Mdina, Malta’s former capital city. The narrow, winding streets, dating back to medieval times, lead to the imposing bastions, commanding a magnificent panorama of the island. On the way there, you will discover different styles of architecture, including Siculo-Norman palaces and other baroque buildings of great historical importance. Time stands still in this ‘Silent City’ which is a film-maker’s paradise.
Leaving Mdina through Greeks’ Gate, we stop at the early Christian catacombs in Rabat before proceeding to the cliffs at Dingli. After lunch we will visit the San Anton botanical gardens situated near the Presidential Palace, which you will be able to admire from outside. We shall also spend time at the crafts centre at Ta’ Qali. At the end of the tour, allow us to astound you with Mosta’s majestic dome, one of Europe’s largest.

English speaking guide was clear and articulate. Times and meeting places were explained and orderly

Whistle top tour, little time at each place you would have to go back independently for more but the guide gave good description. Lunch was poor and the staff at restaurant unhelpful getting served. The craft village was just a shopping place where there was given the most time to spend money. This should have been left out of the itinerary to give us more time elsewhere.

Lots of sights to see and really interesting guide knowledge. However I think there should be an activity rating, as there was many with mobility issues

A very well organised tour. Ian, our tour guide, was excellent, very knowledgeable on all aspects of Malta and providing us with much entertainment with his many anecdotes. Particularly enjoyed visiting the charming San Anton Gardens (loved the peacock!) and also found the Mosta Rotunda very interesting. Don’t miss the Catacombs. Saw and learnt more of Rabat and Mdina with Ian than we would have had we visited on our own. Lunch was tasty and well organised. Good value for money.

Excellent trip and wonderful insight into Malta. Matt our guide was knowledgeable and really made the trip, thank you. Not forgetting Richard our driver who did an incredible job on the Maltese roads. Smooth from start to finish with some amazing sights and the history to go with it. 3 course lunch and a glass of wine, yum!
