What to expect

For a taste of Malta's rich heritage, this tour is hard to beat. Available in either half or full day options, you'll go back in time to the island's most historic and picturesque places. Walk through the cobbled streets of Mdina, visit the cliffs at Dingli and view the San Anton botanical gardens.

We'll drive to Mdina for a guided tour around its narrow streets and to viewpoints offering panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Time stands still in this 'Silent City', which is a film-makers paradise. Next up are the cliffs of Dingli. The half-day tour ends with a stop outside San Anton botanical gardens, situated near the Presidential Palace.

If you choose the full day tour, you'll also stop at the catacombs of Rabat, stroll around the crafts centre Ta' Qali and visit the Pantheon-like Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in Mosta, which has one of the largest domes in the world whilst enjoying a bite of lunch as well.
