What to expect

Central Malta is steeped in history and tradition. Its medieval cities, ancient temples and staggering scenery hold the secret to the island's rich past and customs. On this adults-only small group tour you'll see Mediterranean views from Dingli Cliff, the walled town of Mdina and Mosta Basilica. Matteo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Mdina is possibly the best-preserved ancient walled city in Europe. It's known as ‘the silent city' for its peaceful streets and old-world atmosphere. The city is a beauty, built with stone that glows in the sun, and it's packed with cultural treasures.'

First up you'll head to the towering white Dingli Cliffs – they're the highest point on the Island and deserving of a photo stop. Then you'll continue to fortified Mdina for a guided walking tour. Its old town, protected by ancient walls and a moat, offers a peek into the Malta of past centuries. After visiting Mdina you'll head to a traditional glass-blowing factory in Ta' Qali for a chance to see the artisans at work, creating everything from paperweights to perfume bottles.

A menu of mouthwatering Maltese food will be served for lunch at a nearby restaurant, before finishing the day with a guided tour of the Mosta Basilica. This 19th-century church is famous for having the third-largest unsupported dome in Europe, but it's not just it's size that impresses. The delicate décor of gold, white and blue will have you gazing up until your neck aches.

Tour guidato in moto a tre ruote al tramonto di Gozo a Malta

Salite sulla vostra robusta moto a tre ruote, nota come Ryker, e partite alla scoperta delle isole di Malta per il pomeriggio. Da Malta vi dirigerete a nord verso Gozo, fermandovi sull'isola di Comino per un paio d'ore per rilassarvi in una laguna o fare una nuotata. Poi, a Gozo, l'ora d'oro incontra la libertà delle strade aperte, mentre la guida vi condurrà in giro per i luoghi più importanti dell'isola, come i templi, la cittadella e le ampie baie. Al tramonto, gustate un piatto mediterraneo con un cocktail opzionale - o un mocktail se siete voi a guidare - prima di concludere il viaggio con un viaggio notturno in traghetto per tornare a Malta.
