About this tour
The classic first day in Malta. Your driver collects you from your hotel or apartment and takes you across the island at your own pace: the baroque capital of Valletta, the silent city of Mdina, the sea caves of the Blue Grotto and the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Stops can be swapped or shortened on the day.
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.
