Upon arrival in Malta, you will be met at the airport where you will immediately embark upon tours of the cities of Mdina and Rabat. Your walking tour within Mdina will expose you to the impressive mix of medieval and Sicilian-Norman architecture, much of which was restored following an earthquake in 1693. Today, Mdina has only around 400 residents, with the streets seeming early quiet. There is also little commercial activity in the city, all of which underscore its reputation as the "Silent City". Your tour of Mdina will include The Cathedral and Cathedral Museum. The touring then proceeds to Rabat, the commercial hub of central Malta. Here you will have an opportunity to visit some of Rabat's churches, Roman ruins and the catacombs. You will also visit the Mosta Church. Overnight in Sliema.

Day 2
Today's touring concentrates on Malta's archaeological heritage, as well as its capital, Valetta.

Among the historic sites to be visited today are the Tarxien temples, the underground Hal Saflieni Hypogeum at Paola (subject to early booking) and the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples or Ghar Dalam depending on clients preference. The afternoon touring centers around Valetta, Malta's capital, where you will visit St. John's Cathedral, the Museum of Archaeology, the Grand Master's Palace and Barracca Gardens.
