Mdina Old City, Pjazza San Publiju, Mdina, Island of Malta
After pick-up from your location in Malta, around 9:00 am, we will start our journey by visiting the old city of Mdina. Located in a very central location, this imposing fortified town is built strategically on a hill giving a dynamic view of the whole island and its landscape.
St Paul's Catacombs, St Agatha Street, Rabat, Island of Malta 2013
After your visit in Mdina one can visit the Paleo-Christian Catacombs of St Paul. Serving as a burial ground from Punic and Roman times, the site represents the earliest and largest archaeological evidence of Christianity in Malta. Its association to the saint derives from the myth that this cluster of catacombs was once connected with St Paul’s Grotto. This site has an admission fee and can be challenging in some areas but still a wonder for the history enthusiast.
Mosta, Island of Malta
After leaving Ta' Qali we head to Mosta to visit the Mosta Church, also known as the Mosta Dome renowned as being the third largest unsupported dome in the world.
Dingli Cliffs, Panoramic Road, Dingli, Island of Malta
Located on Malta’s western coast, at 253 metres above sea-level the Dingli Cliffs are the highest part of the Island. The cliffs became a popular attraction for tourists visiting Malta, heading there for a peaceful walk with boasting views of Filfa and the Mediterranean sea.
Mnajdra Temples, Triq Hagar Qim, Qrendi, Island of Malta 2502
An interesting site that marks Malta's neolithic period are the megalithic temples of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra. The temple of Ħaġar Qim stands on a hilltop overlooking the sea and the islet of Filfa, not more than 2km south-west of the village of Qrendi. At the bottom of the hill, only 500m away, one finds the remarkable temples of Mnajdra. Both sites are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The remains suggest a date between 3800 – 2200 BC; a period known as the Ġgantija phase in Maltese prehistory.
Blue Grotto (Il-Hnejja), Coast Rd Qrendi, Zurrieq, Island of Malta
The Blue Grotto refers to a number of sea caverns on the southeast coast of Malta, a short distance from the fishing harbor limits of Wied iż-Żurrieq.
Marsaxlokk, Island of Malta
After visiting the blue caverns of Qrendi we dive into the depths of Maltese culture at Marsaxlokk, a beautiful fishing town in southern Malta that’s famous for its colourful luzzu boats. One can choose to relax by the sea or try a meal at one of the restaurants in the area and perhaps eat fresh fish caught by the fishermen or other local dish.

About Tour Guide Michael M.
I have tours around the two islands of Malta and Gozo with my own transportation. I have been doing this for eight years and with an experience over 18 years in Taxi service. The service offers to give and share our history with others. I have our programme tours around but I would also be able to satisfy the customers with their wishes.

“Full day in Malta disappointment ”
I recently had the opportunity to ride with Michael during my trip to Malta, and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. While it was clear that he was an experienced guide, his attitude left much to be desired. It seemed like he had a preference for my friend, as he was rude to me throughout the ride, frequently interrupting, or ignoring and displaying unprofessional behavior. The driving itself was aggressive, which added to my discomfort, especially since I wasn't feeling well during the trip. I asked him to stop at a pharmacy for some needed supplies, but he only complied after my friend intervened. His driving style made me feel sick, with constant hard braking that was jarring. In contrast, my previous visit to Malta was enjoyable, thanks to a driver from the same company who was friendly, maintained a clean car, and created a pleasant atmosphere. This time, however, the car was dirty inside, and despite my requests, he refused to turn on the air conditioning, responding dismissively when I asked. Overall, I was disappointed with the service this time around. I believe that regardless of personal feelings, professionalism and customer care should always be prioritized. I hope the company addresses these issues, as my previous experience was vastly better.
