Board a catamaran and cruise to the beautiful Italian island of Sicily. You'll explore the slopes of Mt Etna, the largest and most active volcano in Europe. The climb to the crater takes you through picturesque villages and an ever changing landscape. The lower slopes of the volcano are extremely fertile with groves of oranges, lemons and other Mediterranean flora. You'll also visit the city of Modica. It was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1693. When it was rebuilt, much of it was done in a traditional Sicilian baroque design. Perhaps the best example of this can be seen in the city's San Giorgio church. Three-hundred steps lead up to its 3-level facade, which looks out across the city below.
The guided tour through the vibrant streets of Valletta will allow you to discover the beauty and charm of the fortified city of the Knights of St. John in 1566. The tour starts at the Upper Barracca Gardens where you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour. Then the clients will visit St. John 's Cathedral , the main church of the Knights. Go down on to Republic Street, stop by St. George Sqaure infront of Grand Masters ' Palace. After that the group will watch an impressive audio visual show where Malta's history throughout the ages is brought back to life.
Step back in time by exploring some of Malta's most famous attractions, starting with Mosta Church. Then walk through Mdina's narrow streets, where you can admire some of the lovely views of the area. After lunch in Rabat, you'll visit Limestone Heritage for an insight into Malta's history before ending the day by going to the Malta Experience Show in Valletta.
Step back through the mists of time as you drive to the fortress of Cottonera which is widely known as the Three Cities, these being Vittoriosa, Cospicua & Senglea. These cities were built and fortified by the Knights of Malta. You first start with an informative drive through Cospicua. Cospicua has been inhabited since Neolithic times. Prior to the 18th Century it was known as Bormla, a name which is still in use. Its fortification walls, constructed to protect the town and its neighbours Vittoriosa & Senglea, were built by the Knights of Malta. Construction began in 1638 but was not completed for another 70 years.
You will then visit Vittoriosa, ideally situated for safe anchorage and over time it has developed a very long history with maritime, mercantile and military activities. Prior to the establishment of Valletta as a capital city of Malta, military powers that wanted to rule the Maltese islands would need to obtain control of Vittoriosa due to its significant position in the Grand Harbour. The third city is Senglea, joined by a land bridge to Cospicua during the time of the Knights of St. John and as a result it became a peninsular in shape. During the time of the Knights of St. John, Senglea was used as a hunting area.
A detailed English commentary by the driver will help you unfold the history of Valletta and the Three Cities connected with two Great Sieges of 1565 and 1942. Tour is operated by one of the first two wooden bodied buses purchased in 1921 by the Cottonera Motor Bus Company. These buses were licensed to operate routes between Cottonera and Valletta and were made by local carpenters and mechanics, later called as bus body builders. At that time the local carpenters and mechanics were encouraged to build bus bodies so that the company Cottoners Motor Bus Co. could increase its fleet rapidly.

Your next stop is Clapham Junction which is a very puzzling and mysterious groove in the rock.

You better make sure your children have eaten all their spinach before this day trip. As you pull up to the rustic wooden buildings overlooking Anchor Bay, you might think this village looks familiar. That’s because it’s the film set from the 1980s musical, Popeye, starring the late, great Robin Williams. You’ll have the day to explore the village, which took construction workers seven months to build. But, even if your little ones aren’t quite old enough to remember the Sailor Man himself, they can still enjoy shows, rides, mini golf, pools and playhouses. You’ll also find Popeye and his famous friends, including Olive Oyl, Bluto and Wimpy, wandering the set. Once you’ve explored the village, you can take a 20-minute boat trip around the bay. Alternatively, head for the cliffs, where you’ll find panoramic views along Malta’s west coast.
