Itinerary

Mdina Old City
45 min

Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.

Rabat
45 min

Adjoining the old capital city, Mdina, Rabat's main attractions are the Roman Villa, with its excellent remains of Roman mosaic pavements dating back to the first century B.C., and St. Paul's Catacombs, a complex of inter-linked underground Roman cemeteries.

Dingli Cliffs
30 min

Located on Malta’s western coast, at 253 metres above sea-level Dingli Cliffs are the highest part of the Island. The cliffs are a popular attraction for tourists visiting Malta, heading there for a peaceful walk with boasting views of Filfla and the Mediterranean sea.

Mosta Rotunda
Admission not included30 min

The Mosta Dome is perhaps the most impressive church in Malta, with its massive rotunda, that is the third largest in Europe.

Ta' Qali Crafts Village
30 min

Souvenir shops, handmade ornaments, soaps, jewellery shops and glass blowing demos ...

Blue Grotto Il-Hnejja
Admission not included30 min

The location of this fascinating natural grotto combines with sunlight and the surrounding chain of caves to reflect the phosphorescent colours of the submerged flora and the deep dark shade of blue of the sea.

Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Archaeological Park
Admission not included45 min

The Ħaġar Qim temples are beautiful, a masterpiece of prehistoric masonry, and considering they were built between 3600 and 3200 BC, still very well preserved.

Marsaxlokk Harbour
30 min

This fishing village is popular for a daily open-air market, offering a selection of the finest fish restaurants on the island and for the peaceful walks around the coast and harbour.

Valletta City Gate
45 min

The capital city is abundantly rich in sites to see and explore, intriguing historical buildings around every corner: votive statues, niches, fountains and coats of arms high up on parapets. Narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and cafés, while Valletta's main streets are lined with larger international branded shops.

Would give 6 stars if I could

Wonderful day trip of Malta Highlights. Our driver Salah was the perfect host, treating us like friends, informative, helpful, and professional, truly enjoyed sharing his country with us. His suggestions on places to visit and the timing was spot on, showing his experience. The Co-Cathedral in Valletta, the town of Mdina, and archeological site at Hagar Quim are must sees. Salah recommended trying pastizzi and Kinnie, and his favorite place to get it. We asked him if he could pick some up while we visited the church in Rabat, which he did. He then refused to let us pay for it. By the way, they were delicious! Couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better person to show us the island.

Operator response

Many thanks for this lovely review! It's great to know that you had a wonderful time on the tour and enjoyed many of Malta's sites as well as your driver's company. Most grateful!

Great day tour of Malta with a wonderful driver!

Our driver Salah was wonderful! He picked us up from the hotel and was happy to accomodate changes to the itinerary based on what we wanted to see! He is extremely friendly and was very knowledgeable about the history of Malta. His vehicle was comfortable and he also kindly provided cold water for us. He was happy to drop us off at the end at a restaurant he recommended in St Julian’s which was delicious! I would highly recommend the Blue Grotto boat - which was Salah’s suggestion! Definitely one of the highlights of the day!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your great review! We’re very happy to hear that you had such a memorable day in Malta and that your driver made your experience so enjoyable. We're grateful you appreciated his flexibility, knowledge, and friendly service and that you found his suggestions helpful. Thank you!

A very pleasant surprise. Thank you Aris!!

Aris was amazing. Punctual, hospitable and personal. We had an excursion canceled late due to weather conditions and scheduled this at the last minute. Aris responded quickly to our late request and was there on time with a smile the next morning. He helped us to see the highlights of the island and to understand the culture and traditions Mykonos, as well as more personal spaces. He introduced us to his aunt who was very sweet and took our picture. We were there on an extremely windy day and he went above and beyond to introduce Mykonos to us and show us as much as possible. Minor modifications to the itinerary had to be made due to the extreme windy conditions. He even had traditional snacks and wine for us. We were on the morning tour which gave us enough time to return to the ship with the possibility to return to Mykonos for a meal or shopping before we needed to return to the ship for the departure. I would highly recommend this tour/excursion.

Family trip

Would highly recommend, our driver was so friendly and informative, we had two small children so went at our own pace and was never made to feel rushed, we made a couple of changes to the itinerary which wasn't an issue. And the driver tried his best to make sure we got everything in our trip. Many thanks

Our guide was the BEST! Fun day!
