- Dingli Cliffs - The tour group begins by traveling along the coastal countryside towards Dingli Cliffs, located on the western side of Malta.
The primary allure of these cliffs is their stunning natural beauty, surrounded by untouched stretches of Maltese countryside. There is also a small chapel dedicated to St Mary Magdalene perched on the cliff’s edge, where visitors can pause to capture panoramic photos of the rugged coastline.
From this point, the group will walk to Fawwara, within the limits of Siggiewi, enjoying the beautiful Maltese landscape and breathtaking views along the way.
- Fomm Ir-Rih - The journey continues towards the less-traveled paths of Fomm ir-Rih and Bahrija. These pristine and secluded areas boast crystal-clear blue waters, peaceful cliffs and valleys, and some of the most scenic views of the Maltese landscape.
Lunch is typically enjoyed in the rural village of Mgarr, Rabat, or another location chosen by the guests.
- Rabat - Departing from these charming rural areas, the tour will explore a significant part of Malta’s early Christian history - the ancient catacombs in Rabat, where early Maltese Christians buried their dead. These impressive architectural complexes served as burial sites for over 1,000 Maltese Christians between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD and were also a popular pilgrimage site in the 12th century.
Entrance fees to the catacombs or historical sites in Rabat are not included.
- Mdina - Following the catacombs visit, the tour proceeds to the fortified medieval city of Mdina, Malta’s former capital. Visitors will explore narrow, winding streets from medieval times, experiencing various architectural styles and baroque buildings of significant historical importance. The city is encircled by imposing bastions that provide a magnificent panoramic view of the island.
Entrance fees to historical sites in Mdina are not included.

Off Track Sightseeing with Cynthia Debono Mizzi - Cynthia was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the history, archaeology, local vibe, and culture of the areas we visited. It was like going out for the day with an old friend to catch up. Well worth the money for the high value and service provided. I would definitely do this tour again when I return to Malta. 🙂🙌💜🌈

One Day Tour of Non Urban Malta - My wife and I wished to see the island of Malta. Our requirements were to see the sites of the Neolithic history, the towns both inland and on the coast plus the main physical sites such as th Dingli cliffs.
We are not shopper’s, we do not want lunch we do need coffee stops,
George and Cynthia own the business, they picked us up at hotel at 8.30 in their 8 seater Benz bus with very effective air conditioning as it was very hot. They supplied water and returned us to our accomodation at about 1900pm.
We achieved our objective!
Thoroughly recommend their services.

Great day - Cynthia and her partner were both very informative and knowledgeable. They were happy to change the tour itinerary as it was so hot and added in a stop for us to go on a short boat trip which provided much needed cooling!
We got to see some of the main sights and they were good company.

You can't do better! - The apartment is very nice and very spacious and equipped with everything you need! Also wonderful for families! The view was just a dream, couldn't be better and we enjoyed the Aperos with this incredible view to the fullest! Cynthia our pearl, who is in charge of the apartment, was always there for us! Both with taxi services, as well as on a private, full-day tour, which we loved very much - thank you very much Cynthia! Just highly recommended, we will come back 😍

Interesting experience - Great trip, great experience. We saw the real Malta, full of historical and natural monuments. Our guides, charming people, showed us different faces of this small but beautiful country. We were in good hands. I sincerely recommend.
Cynthia and George, thank you both!

Great day - We can recommend this tour very much. Cynthia was an excellent guide and we could see and visit Blue Grotto, Rabat, Mdina, Dingli etc. but also beautiful places you would not find as a tourist. Our highlight was Mdina and our lunch in a local bar with typical maltese food, that was delicious.
