Rundvisning på museet. Malta Aviation Museum er et flymuseum beliggende på stedet for den tidligere Royal Air Force-flyveplads i landsbyen Ta'Qali på øen Malta. Museet, der er baseret i tre hangarer, dækker luftfartens historie på øen med udstillinger, især fra Anden Verdenskrig og efterkrigstiden. Museet er involveret i konservering og restaurering af fly, hvoraf nogle er i luftdygtig stand.
Mosta Basilica, en indviet romersk-katolsk kirke til Vor Frue Himmelfart. Designet er baseret på Pantheon i Rom, har den tredjestørste ustøttede kuppel i verden og er Maltas største og mest berømte kirke. Kirken undgik med nød og næppe ødelæggelse under Anden Verdenskrig, da en tysk luftbombe den 9. april 1942 gennemborede kuplen og faldt i kirken under messen, men det lykkedes ikke at eksplodere. Denne begivenhed blev tolket af malteserne som et mirakel, selvom mange bomber ikke eksploderede. Under dit besøg vil du også gå op til portikoen, til klokketårnet og gå ind i kirkens indre galleri. Derefter vil du besøge reservatet fra Anden Verdenskrig, der omgiver Mosta Church parvis. Shelteret, som blev åbnet for nylig, blev gravet i hånden i 1940 af 15 højtuddannede håndværkere. Familier brugte dette husly under Anden Verdenskrig til at beskytte sig mod de mange og vedvarende luftangreb. I slutningen af turen vil du også nyde nogle lokale retter

Very enjoyable tour. The 1950s bus was clean and fun to travel in. Our guide Evelyn was great, she started her commentary from the very start if the tour. The guide in the Aviation Museum was very interesting. The Mosta Rotunda was beautiful with an option to climb the 75+ steps into dome. The WWII shelter was accessed via small steps so may be tricky for those with mobility issues.
Departed on schedule in the aged bus. Then waited a half hour or so at St George’s Bay for a connecting bus to join us. Aviation Museum is located on the site of a WWll airfield. Wonderful museum with aircraft of various eras on display or in restoration. Visit to Mosta Dome & Air Raid shelter followed but felt abbreviated. Platter consisted of various Maltese specialities and was appreciated. Then started the return trip. For some reason the guide & I were required to leave the bus and await a vehicle outside the Doubletree by Hilton to get back to the starting point at Valetta. While the guide was very informative I don’t understand and it wasn’t explained why we had to change our transport. Afterall the main selling point is the aged bus experience!
Brilliant tour - the air museum isn’t very big so an hour there was perfect. The rotunda story is fascinating and the lunch platter most enjoyable. Great value for money and highly recommend.
A fantastic experience in every way. Firstly the transportation is a piece of history in itself and David the driver is friendly and knowledgeable. The Aviation museum is a hidden treasure even if you're not totally obsessed like me the tour is great and there's some great stories of heroism with the actual planes that match the story. If you are an aviation geek trust me you won't be disappointed! Now on to the rotunda at Mosta, so fascinating and stunningly beautiful inside, it takes your breath away. The ww2 shelter is fascinating. The food platter was nice and you got a drink..I chose the red wine, and also a coffee. The restaurant staff are lovely too and it's right next door to the rotunda. The only thing I would mention is maybe 10 mins more in each place would have been nice but aside from that it was brilliant. My phone storage still hasn't forgiven me for the overload of pics and videos 😂
Excellent tour, a must for anyone visiting Malta.Perfect day out and well organised. The vintage bus was fantastic, nice and cool with the windows open no Aircon required very nostalgic ride! 2nd time we have been on this trip and each time was very good! Driver David and Tour guide Mario were very welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, really made the trip!
We took this trip today, collected from our hotel in a very old Bedford Bus about 09.00, and dropped off back there about 1.30. Miriam was the guide and David was the driver, they were great, they provided commentary about the island on the way to the air museum, and the guide at the museum was also very informative. We then went to the church at Mosta which is magnificent, and had a light traditional Maltese snack for lunch. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip
Remote. No cafe. Visited in July and the building was very uncomfortable due to the very hot temp outside. Best visit on cooler days. Cold drink machine cash only. Great displays and video
This was a great experience, our guide and driver were excellent. We visited the Malta air museum, which was really interesting, we had a private tour (7 of us) with a knowledgeable guide, who worked at the museum, it would have been nice to spend longer there but we may well return. We then went on to Mosta to see the basilica , which was lovely and very interesting, we then went down to an area of the air raid shelters, lastly we had a lunch platter with wine and coffee, which was a lovely way to end the tour. This was a brilliant tour and really good value, we would definitely recommend.
Was a great little half day trip, Mario and guide was very knowledgeable. Was nice to see some history in the Aviation museum.
Met the owner of the aircraft museum who knew his stuff amd had a good collection of exhibits. Good luck restoring the Gladiator
