Full Day Private Tour of Malta (Private Driver)

The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Furthermore it is said that St. Paul resided inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat. Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.

For a gift with a difference, pay a trip to Ta’ Qali. This small, but well-stocked craft village is based in an old RAF wartime airfield. With Nissan huts now converted on the interior, they home all kinds of original Maltese gifts and crafts. With workshops showing the skills in pottery and filigree-making, to local gemstones and homemade preserves, this quaint village will provide you with plenty of traditional gifts.

A main focal point in St Paul’s Bay, the National Aquarium can be seen from miles around. An attraction for all the family, the aquarium is split into separate zones, each depicting different themes such as the Grand Harbour, Shipwrecks, and the Tropical Ocean.

The original film set of the 1980 film, Popeye starring Robin Williams. Spend a whole day in Sweethaven visiting each building, enjoying their pools, taking a boat ride, watching animators and having a bite to eat. Set in stunning surroundings, there are regular buses directly to the set with something for the whole family to enjoy and open all year round.

Located in the area of Marsaxlokk, St Peter’s pool attracts swimmers and snorkelers to what is described as a ‘natural swimming pool’. Its strikingly clear, azure waters invite many to safely jump in from the rocks surrounding it, and with plenty of flat ledges available, it is a perfect place to spend a day swimming, enjoying the scenery both under the water and above.

A collection of naturally formed caves and a 30-foot arch make up the Blue Grotto. Attracting over 100,000 visitors a year would suggest this is a place worth visiting. With the waters leading in reflecting colours of cyan and emerald greens, the Blue Grotto is accessible to visit all year round, weather permitting. Experienced sailors will get you there safely even if the waters are a bit choppy. A photo opportunity not to be missed.

LUNCH The Valletta Waterfront is also the gateway to Malta’s capital city, Valletta – a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen. In fact, as one of the most successful Mediterranean ports, the Port of Valletta welcomes more than half-a-million cruise passengers into this open air museum.
