What to expect

For a taste of Malta's rich heritage, this tour is hard to beat. Available in either half or full day options, you'll go back in time to the island's most historic and picturesque places. Walk through the cobbled streets of Mdina, visit the cliffs at Dingli and view the San Anton botanical gardens.

We'll drive to Mdina for a guided tour around its narrow streets and to viewpoints offering panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Time stands still in this 'Silent City', which is a film-makers paradise. Next up are the cliffs of Dingli. The half-day tour ends with a stop outside San Anton botanical gardens, situated near the Presidential Palace.

If you choose the full day tour, you'll also stop at the catacombs of Rabat, stroll around the crafts centre Ta' Qali and visit the Pantheon-like Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in Mosta, which has one of the largest domes in the world whilst enjoying a bite of lunch as well.

Small Group Tour of Gozo with Victoria and Ggantija Temples

Gozo and Malta are separated only by a narrow channel, but the differences are eye-catching. Gozo is greener, more laidback and sparsely populated. Get the lowdown on the island on this adults-only small group tour with visits to the Victoria Citadel, Ta'Pinu Basilica and Dwejra Bay. Yohanna, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The mosaics at Ta'Pinu are a recent addition, dating from 2017. They feature 20 mysteries of the rosary mounted on four circular walls in what had previously been an unsightly car park.'After a short trip by ferry to the island, you'll head to Qala Point first, for unobstructed views over the Maltese Archipelago. Then, it's off to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ggantija Temples, which pre-date the Egyptian pyramids. The historic theme continues at the medieval Citadel of Victoria, the island's capital. Yohanna says, ‘Victoria was originally named Rabat, however, to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1887, its name was changed. You'll see lots of British influence here, due to it 164 years under British rule.'Next up is a visit to the salt pans, to see how salt is harvested on the island. After stopping for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients at a traditional Gozitan restaurant, you'll head to Ta'Pinu Basilica, where you can grab some Insta-perfect snaps. Last but not least, you'll visit the impressive geographic features in and around Dwejra Bay – the Fungus Rock and the Inland Sea lagoon.
