Booking a Shared Small Group Discovery Shore excursion with a maximum of 19 fellow guests, gives you a more personalised and efficient experience compared to large bus tours, typically offered by the cruise lines. All of our Small Group Discovery Shared Shore excursions are led by either an English-speaking driver-guide or tour leader. Your journey begins in Vittoriosa (Birgu), one of the historic Three Cities, where narrow streets and impressive fortifications reveal Malta’s maritime past. Continue to Marsaxlokk, the island’s largest and most picturesque fishing village, famous for its colourful traditional luzzu boats and relaxed waterfront atmosphere. Enjoy a scenic stop at the breath-taking Blue Grotto, where dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters create one of Malta’s most stunning coastal views — a perfect photo opportunity. Travel onward to Mdina, the ancient walled city once serving as Malta’s capital, where timeless architecture and quiet alleyways transport you back centuries. Before returning to port, take in a panoramic drive around Valletta’s magnificent fortifications, offering spectacular views of the Grand Harbour. With multiple photo stops throughout, this tour promises an enriching and memorable Maltese experience.
