Visiting the Limestone Heritage Museum afterwards gave everything even more meaning — it added context and depth to what we had just seen, making us appreciate Malta's natural beauty and history even more.

“I had very high hopes based on the reviews for this private tour, but ended up very disappointed overall. First off, we were picked up in Valletta for an extra fee, which was fine, but our driver to Mdina knew nothing of our tour or who we were meeting or where. He dropped us off a Mdina and drove away, leaving us with no way to contact our guide. Fortunately, we found her a few minutes later. She was very, very nice and quite knowledgeable.

Stop one: Pasitizzi & Kinnie ( best pasitizzi's in Malta) Stop two: Maltese coffee and fresh fruit Stop three: maltese platter Stop four: rabbit stew, bragoli, roast potatoes and veggies, Maltese bread, wine imqaret This tour is definitely worth a try if you want traditional food and history too.”

Busy nie jeździły na czas a powrotny Bus o 16.00 zawarty w cenie możliwy do zrealizowania tylko jak nie wysiądziemy z autobusu. pierwszy kurs po promie po 30-stu minutach. To spowodowało że czas na zwiedzanie 7 atrakcji i plaż to max 4h. Fatalna koordynacja.”
