About this tour
Designed around a cruise port call. Your driver meets you at the Valletta Cruise Port terminal exit and takes you out of the city to the places you cannot reach on foot: the old capital of Mdina, the Dingli cliffs, the Blue Grotto and the fishing harbour of Marsaxlokk. You are back at the ship with a comfortable margin before all-aboard.
A private sightseeing tour with your own driver. This is private transport with a knowledgeable local driver who takes you between the sights and shares local tips on the way. It is not a separately guided tour, so your driver does not go inside sites with you.

Tell us your ship and all-aboard time when booking. If your ship's arrival changes, we adjust the pickup time. Valletta itself is a short walk or lift ride from the terminal, so this tour focuses on the rest of the island.
