Tours
1. Valletta (Capital City half day)
Our Guided tour through the bustling streets will first allow you to view the barracca gardens that command a breathtaking view of the Grand Harbour and then to St. John’s Co-Cathedral, adorned in riches that date back to the Knights of Malta including the world famous Caravaggio painting that is on display in the Oratory of this Cathedral.
We also visit the Church Museum that is adorned with Flemish tapestries. After we will also view from outside the Grand Master’s Palace and the other buildings of historical importance. Lastly we stop at the Malta Experience, a multi vision show that depicts Malta’s history throughout the ages.
2. Gozo (Full Day) Every Thursday or Saturday
Tour to Malta’s sister island of Gozo. After a twenty-minute ferry crossing, on setting foot in Gozo you will notice that although both islands are similar in history and development Gozo has a character entirely of its own. Gozo, which is a three hilled island, is greener and more picturesque than Malta. During this excursion, we visit the temples of Ggantija, the citadel in Victoria, the bay of Xlendi, and the Azur Window at Dwejra. Free time for shopping will also be given – Gozo is reknown for its woollen goods and handmade lace.
3. Glass Blowing and Stone Carving
The former World War II military aerodrome was converted into a local hand-crafts centre. It's the ideal place to buy ceramics, jewellery and knitwear, pottery and see glass blowing and moulding as well as other craftspeople at work. Here one can buy something completely unique and original to take home. Within the craft centre one can find the Aviation Museum displaying aircrafts.
4. Full Day Gullets Cruise
Think of our Gulets as enchanting seafaring vessels from a bygone era, offering a choice of cruises around the enchanting Maltese islands in the heart of the Mediterranean.
