    Medina, Mosta and Craft Village

    This trip is not worth the money, we were picked up across the road from our hotel and taken to the craft village, where we visited a glass factory. There we saw four or five people blowing glass vases, interesting but only a small cottage industry, then we were bused to a supposedly jewellery factory, but this was actually one man making small pendants (definitely not a factory) - both these areas were hard sell shops and not proper factory visits, take that from a man who worked in factories for 42 years of his life and perform factory tours. Following these stops we were taken to the silent city of Mdina, this is an extremely small city with great views of 75% of the island of Malta, stop was far too long for the size of the city. Then finally we were taken to the cathedral in Mosta, this is the famous cathedral hit with a bomb in the Second World War, views inside the cathedral were stunning.

    Experience to forget

    I couldn't make the tour because of incredible negligence. The day before the tour we are confirmed the appointment at 8.55 in front of a hotel. At 8.54 a Pick-Up arrives with the driver who reading the list of participants calls me and lets me and my partner get on the shuttle. During the trip, after a few minutes, talking to the guide, I discover that I am on the wrong tour. They book us a taxi and invite us to get off the shuttle, in the middle of a street. Never in my life have I received such treatment. I am trying to claim a refund, but it seems to be practically impossible because the parties involved do not take responsibility, in fact it would be my fault because I took the wrong Pick-Up. To conclude the matter positively, I laugh just thinking about it, the Call Center operator blocked my cell phone number. I leave to those who read every kind of evaluation.

    A lot of Russian instead of English and

    I booked an English guide, but got a Lithuanian who spent most of the time speaking Russian to the small group of Russians who were on our bus. We got very little guiding and very little time at the stops because we had to stand and wait for her to guide in Russian too. The tour was a whole day but most of the day was spent picking up passengers and dropping off passengers from all over the island or listening to Russian.

    Great

    Church in Mosta is so wonderful and Mdina is great old city. Valetta and Gozo were very interesting.

    A fairly good half day tour which...

    <p>A fairly good half day tour which covered the places as described. Balance of time was not right, only 15 minutes at Mosta but a total of an hour at various craft places. At the end the guide told us to wait for the bus half an hour before the bus arrived. I could have seen the Cathedral and museum if I knew this, instead of waiting in the sun. The pickup in the morning was an hour going round the hotels and fairly hectic in places whilst the bus navigated exceptionally busy narrow streets, with lots of shouting and horning. Notwithstanding this, given the price for this tour, I can't really complain too much.</p>

    Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.

    How much does Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Valletta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Valletta is not rushed.

    Is Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Valletta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Valletta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Valletta and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mosta, TaQali Crafts Village and Mdina Half Day Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Valletta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Valletta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Valletta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group, Valletta City Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Valletta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Valletta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
