“Took the audio tour using the app. It was set up nicely and easy to use. The palace was stunning, especially the summer dining room. My favourite part was meeting Kiku The 3rd (parrot) in the garden. Also the bomb shelters were impressive.”
Visit Mdina’s St. Paul’s Cathedral and Museum for ornate marble, sacred art, Dürer prints, and Maltese treasures with one flexible ticket.
“It was great. We didn't understand that we needed to go to the museum to get th tickets for the cathedral. All visitors have to go to the museum for their tickets which turned out ok but we just didn't know in advance. Maybe we missed the instructions in the email sent to us. Great experience”

Explore Casa Rocca Piccola in Valletta, with noble rooms, period art, WWII shelters, gardens, and guided or audio tours.
“A fascinating old house in the middle of the city. The tour guide has a lot to work with given the history of the home. If you’ve taken the major tours of Valletta. This would be a good addition to your itinerary.”

Ride Malta’s vintage Xarabank to Ta’ Qali, Mosta Dome, WWII shelters, and a Maltese platter on a four-hour guided tour.
“We (two adults and one 10 year old) enjoyed our tour very much, the 1930's vintage bus was so much fun to ride on, the aviation museum was brilliant, just enough time there. The Mosta Dome was absolutely amazing and a must-see for anyone coming to Malta. The WW11 shelters were good, too. The Platter were delicious and a great way to taste some traditional Maltese food. All in all, a brilliant 4 hours.”
