Tour overview<br />
Malta might be one of the smallest<br />
nations in Europe, but its strategic<br />
position at the crossroads of the<br />
Mediterranean has allowed it to cultivate<br />
a rich culture over thousands of years.<br />
This centre-based tour goes beyond<br />
the seaside resorts <strong>for</strong> which the island<br />
is most famous, exploring instead the<br />
exciting history of the capital, Valletta;<br />
the three cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea<br />
and Cospicua; as well as the historic sites<br />
of the Hagar Qim temples and Mdina<br />
village. Highlights include driving your<br />
own electric buggy though the narrow<br />
streets, and a tuk-tuk tour of Gozo island.<br />

Day 2: Tour of Valletta<br />
Embark on a guided tour of Malta’s compact<br />
capital, Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage<br />
Site brimming with baroque marvels, twisting<br />
streets and charming cafes. Highlights include<br />
St John’s Co-Cathedral and the palatial rooms<br />
of Casa Rocca Piccola. Enjoy lunch at Rampila<br />

16th-century bastions. (B, L)<br />
Day 3: Day at leisure<br />
Spend a free day enjoying the facilities of the<br />

sands and azure waters. (B)<br />

Explore Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua –<br />
together known as the ‘Three Cities of Malta’ – in<br />
a petite electric car called a Rolling Geek. Easy to<br />
drive, they are a fun way to navigate the narrow,<br />
cobbled streets. Next, enjoy a half-hour private<br />
harbour cruise aboard a traditional Maltese<br />
passenger boat. These colourful vessels are<br />
icons of Maltese culture. (B)<br />

island, <strong>for</strong> a full-day tour by tuk-tuk. Highlights<br />
include exploration of the main town of<br />
Victoria, famous <strong>for</strong> its 16th-century citadel;<br />
and the Xwejni salt pans, whose shimmering<br />
pools are still harvested in the ancient<br />
tradition. Stop en route <strong>for</strong> lunch at<br />
Ta’ Rikardu Restaurant, famous <strong>for</strong> using only<br />
local produce. Return to Malta in the late<br />
afternoon. (B, L)<br />

Embark on a day tour of the 5,000-year-old<br />
Grand harbour, Valletta<br />
