The timing was probably what I appreciated most. With the short cruise port stops at the beginning and end, the day felt well organised rather than rushed. Just be ready for bit walking. Mdina was probably the highlight for me. It has that old world feel with the narrow streets, stone buildings and quite little corners.
If you want to tick off a lot of must see places in Malta in one day. It is a long day especially with the heat but it was worth it. The food was great. Mdina is must visit place when in Malta.
Do not book this tour. I booked and paid back in Dec and 5 months later 24 hours before the tour was due to start they cancelled . There was zero warning that they needed more passengers to go ahead and with this last minute cancellation there are no alternative options. You have been warned .
Your booking has been cancelled in full accordance with TripAdvisor’s cancellation policy, by the reserved right to cancel in the event of insufficient participants during the low season. Before booking any future activities, we strongly recommend carefully reading and understanding the cancellation policy, which is available on the website 24/7.

The route covered a pleasant range of locations, including historic cities and picturesque vistas, and the pickup was on schedule. There was some walking, particularly in historic areas, which older members might find exhausting. All in all, however, it was simple and easy, and we had no logitical concers.
It was a good day overall, and we took the highlights of Malta. In a few hours, I saw a lot. Even throughout the lengthier sections, everyone was entertained by our lively and humorous guide.
An excellent tour of Medina and Valeta. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. We were a small group of 6 and she gave everyone her attention. Malta is beautiful and full of history. You should see it with this tour
Malta/Mdna were both beautiful but our guide definitely went overboard on non stop details of history. I like hearing the history but every doorway was a long drawn out story. Group all felt the same.
Thank you for your feedback. Let me address the concerns raised: Malta is primarily renowned for its history and culture, which is why we emphasize these themes. If you were interested in other specific subjects, you were welcome to let your guide know. Our team are all professionals, but we cannot read minds. Please avoid referring to the opinions of others. Your 3-star feedback was the only one received from the group, while two other parties left us glowing reviews. Wishing you safe and happy travels!
Malta was stunning. The history of the city is rich and still intact. Being in Mdina was like taking a step back into time. Our tour guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, took us for a tradition local snack, and let us explore while still sticking to the schedule. We went us a family of 9 and we had our own private tour. We did go in the end of July so it was rather hot out, but the cities do offer lots of shade. If you are interested in truly seeing and learning the history of Malta, this tour is incredible!
Malta is such a beautiful island and the tour was great! Our tour guide was a little too chatty though and put us behind schedule, but after notifying the cruise ship that we were running slightly behind, we were able to arrive at the ship in plenty of time.
The bus wasn't able to get to the cruise port due to a pedestrian vs. car accident that blocked the road for hours, but our guide handled it very professionally and had us walk 10 min to get to our driver. Mdina was really incredible to see a very eclectic blend of many European influences. We finished in Valletta and had time to eat and shop. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Malta is unique as it is it's own country but has been under many countries historically and has architecture and culture from all of these eras.
