The
tour gives a very good introduction to Malta. The itinerary
includes a lot of variety. The full tour requires 8
hours, but shorter versions are also available.
Mdina, otherwise known as the "silent city",
is the island's old capital. Built in the 9th century
by the Arabs. This medieval city is a maze of narrow
alleys and magnificent architecture. Our walking tour
includes all the main features and also a visit to
St. Paul's Cathedral.

spectacular Dingli Cliffs offering stunning views
of the Mediterranean and an opportunity to see the more
rural side of the island.

coast of the island, these temples are among the most
imposing megalithic structures in Malta. Dating back
3000 years BC, some of the stones are 4 metres high

as the 'luzzu' and small market which lines the seafront.
