Full description
Enjoy a scenic half-day tour of Malta and get fantastic views from the island’s highest point. Visit the historic Palazzo Falson in Mdina, and wander around Buskett Gardens on the grounds of Verdala Palace. Your first stop is Palazzo Falson, a medieval townhouse in Mdina. There, explore a house-museum with seventeen rooms of historic domestic belongings and a number of antique collections. Admire a building that's believed to have been built around 1495, probably incorporating parts of a 13th-century building, and further enlarged in the mid-16th century Next, drive to Dingli Cliffs, the highest point in Malta. The isolated Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene on the towering rocks makes for a charming landmark. Built in the 17th century, the chapel offers some of the most stunning views in Malta, including to the tiny uninhabited islet of Filfla. Your final stop will be Buskett Gardens in the fertile valley of Wied il-Luq at Siggiewi. At their best in spring, the gardens also offer shade from the harsh mid-summer sun and a quiet place for a walk in winter. Explore the beautiful gardens, located in the grounds of Verdala Palace, official residence of the President of Malta. During the scenic tour, you will also pause for coffee, when you will get the chance to sample some of Malta’s traditional pastizzi, diamond-shaped savory pastries, often filled with ricotta.

We had a very original trip to Malta's past. Beginning from the old type bus we used, which by itself returned the year decades earlier, we visited Villa Parisio (I write villa because it had never actually served to host a royalty). The explanations were very detailed and we took all our time to explore the villa. Afterwards we had a spectacular view to the open sea from Ste Magdalene's church (Malta's highest point). After our guide's recommendation I tried the aromatic maltese coffee, thus becomming fan of it eversince. At a nice multiple purpose hall in the forest we were offered pastici (both with cheese and peas) and after our guide's recommendation again, I tried the Kinnie, thus becomming addicted to it.

It was a great experience and we had a very experienced tour guide. We had a vintage bus which would grind gears and had no windows so got quite hot when weren't moving as the wind would have to come through the front windows. But this made the trip feel more authentic anyway. The Palazo Parisio was amazing to see! And the Dingli Cliffs was quite a view. We were abit disappointed to not be able to have a look at the Buskett Gardens but only go there to eat and drink at a small shop.

The Palazzo Parisio was a very interesting and fascinating experience and the history and background was also very well explained by our guide. This place alone was well worth this tour, the Dingly Cliffs were then quite another kind of big experience with their fantastic views. Snacks and drinks offered in Buskett Gardens were a nice last program on this tour. An extra bonus was that the tour was effected by the old Malta bus from the late fifties. Great fun, but although the seats were comfortable there is not much space for people with long legs. But it should not be a major problem, the distances are rather short. Another smaller problem was that it sometimes was difficult to hear what our guide told us during the ride because of the noise from the engine. And perhaps another 3rd sight would have made the tour still better and quite complete, f.i. the Verdala Palace itself, but understand that the palace is rather seldom open for visitors. Anyhow, thanks for an interesting tour.
