After lunch, you'll set sail for the island of Comino to drop anchor at the famous Blue Lagoon. Spend the afternoon soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkelling or exploring Comino's picturesque countryside. There is also a bar open throughout the day. 

Next, leave Mdina through the ‘Greek Gate’ and head for the majestic cliffs of Dingli. At 253 metres above sea level, they offer breathtaking views of the terraced fields below and the immensity of the sea. Discover the little chapel dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, perched on the edge of the cliffs.

Finish your visit with the botanical gardens of San Anton à Attard, which are brimming with fountains, ponds and a wide variety of exotic trees and flowers, home to ducks, swans, peacocks and tortoises.

At the Vittoriosa seafront, board a traditional ‘Frejgatina’ for a picturesque tour of the harbour's colourful coves. Finish your visit in Senglea, a heroic town that resisted the Ottoman invasion in 1565. 

The Tuk-Tuks can carry a maximum of six passengers and are driven by multilingual driver-tutors, who will give you detailed and fascinating information at every stop on your itinerary.

In the morning, you will be picked up by minibus throughout mainland Malta (from selected hotels and meeting points). The crossing to and from the island of Gozo will be made by one of our private boats, exclusively reserved for our clients; if this is not possible due to bad sea or weather conditions, the crossing will be made by the communal ferry Gozo Channel (ferry tickets are also included where necessary). On arrival in Malta, you will again be picked up by a minibus, which will drop you off at your original pick-up point.
