Malta small group tour of Mdina and Mosta Basilica with lunch
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.

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.
