      The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Furthermore it is said that St. Paul resided inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat. Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.

    Essentially you’re paying...

    Essentially you’re paying for a driver. The driver had some knowledge but then when you got to the places you’d really want to know about you get dropped off and you’re on your own

    Great Malta day trip!

    This trip was a great way to experience some of the best places Of Malta from Valletta. Our driver (Joseph) was very friendly and knowledgeable about his country. Because of our driver/guide’s experience, we were able to see some of the places that most travelers would probably miss on a day trip. We were also able to enjoy a terrific seafood lunch at a local marina.

    Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $440 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 Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver)?

    +

    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 Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver)?

    +

    Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) 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 Valletta Food Tour, The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group. 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.

    What is included in Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver)?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; and Snacks. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 221 listed pickup locations in and around Valletta. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Tour of the Maltese Island (Private Driver) if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
