Your Itinerary

Dingli Cliffs

The main attraction of the Dingli Cliffs are the cliffs themselves, however there is also a tiny chapel perched on the very edge, dedicated to St Mary Madgalene. Dingli Cliffs is the highest point of the Maltese Islands. The stunning Dingli Cliffs overlook the blue Mediterranean Sea and stunning views of Filfa. The cliffs extend all the way from Bahrija to the Munqar area where you will find another natural wonder, the Blue Grotto. Close by between Dingli and Rabat you can also find Malta’s largest woodland called Buskett.

Mdina

Mdina is a fortified medieval town enclosed in bastions, located on a large hill in the centre of Malta. The town was the old capital of Malta, and with its narrow streets, few inhabitants and beatuful views over the Island it is truly a magical town. Mdina is referred to as the “Silent City” by Maltese and visitors alike - no cars (except those of a limited number of residents) have permission to enter Mdina and the town provides a relaxing atmosphere among the visitors walking its narrow streets and alleyways. Mdina has a small population of around 250 people who live at 0.9km2, within the city walls. In contrast, outside the city walls, the village of Rabat is just a step away, and has a population of over 11,000 people. The medieval town of Mdina presents a mix of Norman and Baroque architecture and is the home to many palaces, most of which today serve as private homes. The large and striking Cathedral of the Conversion of St. Paul stands in the main square of the town. Mdina was first inhabited and fortified around 700 BC by the Phoenicians and was at that time called Maleth. Mdina benefits from its good location on the island’s highest point, far away from the sea. Under the Roman Empire the Roman governor built his palace in Mdina and it is said that even St. Paul stayed there after he was shipwrecked in Malta.

Buskett Gardens

In this private farmhouse, you will be tasting the 4 best rated wines of local wineries. Take the opportunity to try out wineries from different estates in order to construct a unique opinion of your own. A Maltese Platter will be served at lunchtime, your hosts will set up a beautiful setting in the countryside for you to drink the wine of your preference from the wine tasting session while the platter is being prepared. The Maltese Platter will consist solely of Maltese Produce, freshly prepared during your tour.

The whole day was perfect. Great way to see some of the top sites of Malta and experience good food and wine

Paul_C

Mdina before the crowds The wine tasting The driver was pleasant and helpful However it was very expensive for what it was and not a full day

Marjorie_M

As I was the only person on the tour, I’m glad it wasn’t cancelled. Duncan was a great tour guide. He was informative, punctual, accessible, knowledgeable, and friendly. I had a fantastic time!

Cynthia_B

Very nice wines and food platter served in a relaxing setting overlooking the vineyard by friendly people. Kenneth was a really nice driver/coordinator, and we appreciated seeing Mdina just before the big tour bus crowds descended.

My wife and I are vegan and despite repeated promises (before booking the tour and again on the morning of the tour) regarding our food requirements they failed. On top on that the conduct of the vine tasting itself was just giving you four glasses of wine (one at a time) accompanied with a plastic sheet with information about each wine. Making the experience lacking all charm. The three stars belong to the friendly driver and his spotless car.

We have been on many wine tours in France, Spain, Argentina and the Napa Valley. This was an exceptionally good tour! Our driver was great and took us down many back roads to see the real Malta. The charcutiere board at the wine tasting was the best we have ever had. The wines were surprisingly good, but do not expect high end Bordeaux quality. At the end of the tour our driver and guide gave my wife, roses, chococolates and a bottle of champgyne. Take this tour when in Malta, you will not regret it!

They were attentive and super nice. They went back to the winery after dropping my wife and off to grab and return the purse she left. Super helpful

This was a lovely trip to experience many aspects of Malta. Our host was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. The wine tour and tasting was very relaxing and enjoyable. The platter they provided was the highlight!

There was a lack of communication as to pickup but it got sorted albeit stressful and a bit late. The driver very nice but I was surprised he did not wear mask when I told him we had to be careful. All other drivers I’ve had in malta wear masks for consideration of people. I hoped the driver spoke fluid English ( as stated upon booking) but he had a hard time understanding a couple of my questions therefore very quiet in van. It was a nice van Good spots to see. Really enjoyed our time 1.5 hours Mdina and 15 minutes viewing the cliffs The winery was the best. The gal who toured us was very knowledgeable. The large charcuterie platter and plentiful wine tasting was enjoyable. Ride from winery was approx 25 minutes return. Our tour was 915-125. Nice half day tour but very expensive. In future I would take Bolt taxi to Mdina and cliffs. Then also arrange a taxi to winery and prebook a tasting. All sites are fairly close to Valletta
