Visit Mdina’s palaces, churches, bastion views, Dingli Cliffs, and the peaceful paths of San Anton Gardens with a licensed guide. Guides may include Maria, Elizabeth, Jennifer, or Anna. The pace is efficient, but Mdina deserves extra time if you can stay on afterward.

“Our tour was great. Our guide was amazing. We opted to stay in Mdina to eat and shop rather than returning to our hotel with the group. So if I could change anything, it would be more time in Mdina and still keep your return transportation.”

“Great full day tour! Our guide Charles was very knowledgable, yet light-hearted and funny. Due to weather (it rained a bit in the morning), he switched the program around a bit that allowed us to avoid rain while visiting the Mdina fortifications. He gave us enough time at every stop, answered all the questions. Lunch was provided at the cool restaraunt, food was very good and included red wine. Pick up and drop off transports were on time and used comfortable vans. Great day!”

The weather was windy so we didn’t get to take a boat ride at the blue grotto, and the Ta Qali workshops were a bit of a waste of time if like me, you don’t care much for glass or rocks…..although watching them blow glass at the Valletta glass shop was interesting.”

The explanations were very detailed and we took all our time to explore the villa. Afterwards we had a spectacular view to the open sea from Ste Magdalene's church (Malta's highest point).

At a nice multiple purpose hall in the forest we were offered pastici (both with cheese and peas) and after…”
