Your experience

From medieval streets to cliff top views

Start by visiting the ancient Medieval city of Mdina, famous for its grand palaces, strong fortifications, medieval and baroque architecture, and rich history. This city was Malta's capital for centuries. Walk along its timeless narrow streets, virtually unchanged for over a thousand years. Explore its history with an experienced local guide and enjoy stunning panoramic views from the high bastion walls.

Board a comfortable air-conditioned bus or coach to reach your next destination, Dingli Cliffs. Departing from Mdina through the 'Greeks Gate,' you'll arrive at Dingli Cliffs on Malta's western coast, about 253 meters above sea level. These cliffs are the highest point in the Maltese islands, offering majestic views of terraced fields below and the breathtaking expanse of the open sea, with the uninhabited island of Filfla in the background.

Stroll through beautiful botanical gardens

The tour concludes at San Anton Botanical Gardens in Attard, established in the early 17th century by Grand Master Antoine de Paule. These public gardens feature ponds with ducks, swans, peacocks, and turtles, along with centuries-old exotic trees and flowers.

Throughout the tour, guides fluent in French, Italian, Spanish, English, or German (based on your preference) will captivate you with engaging storytelling, enhancing your experience with insightful information and narratives.
