Getting started

Begin your half-day tour by boarding your air-conditioned vehicle and meeting your licensed tour guide in the language you selected at booking. Settle in as your guide outlines the route that links Mdina, Dingli Cliffs, San Anton Gardens, and the exterior of the Presidential Palace.

What to expect

Mdina

Mdina, known as the "Silent City", is Malta's ancient fortified capital with narrow medieval streets and high bastion walls. You arrive here first to explore its historic core on foot with your guide.

Features

• Walk through Mdina's narrow medieval streets and along its bastions as your guide points out the blend of Siculo-Norman palaces and Baroque buildings that define the cityscape.
• From Mdina's historic fortifications, pause for Mdina bastion panoramas that stretch across Malta, giving you a sense of the island's size and landscape.
• Hear how Mdina became one of Malta's most popular filming locations while your licensed guide shares stories and context in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish, depending on the option you selected.

Dingli Cliffs

Your tour continues by vehicle to Dingli Cliffs, which rise at Malta's highest point above the Mediterranean Sea. This stop focuses on open-air views of the coastline.

Features

• Stand at Dingli Cliffs, Malta's highest point, and look out over the Mediterranean Sea with an unobstructed horizon and rocky shoreline below.
• Travel between Mdina and Dingli Cliffs in the comfort of your air-conditioned vehicle, so you can focus on the changing scenery rather than logistics.

San Anton Gardens

Features

• Stroll through San Anton Gardens, following paths between formal planting beds and mature trees that create a calm contrast to the fortified streets of Mdina.
