Drive to the Grand Harbor Area where your first stop will be at the Gardjola Gardens. At Senglea you can enjoy the panoramic view that includes, from right to left, the docks, Marsa, Valletta, the entrance to the Grand Harbor and Fort St. Angelo.

The sentry box placed on the tip of the bastion, il-gardjola, epitomizes the role of the fortifications around the harbor. On the sentry box there are sculptured in high relief various symbols of watchfulness, namely the eye, the ear, and the crane bird. The inscription in Latin assures the inhabitants of the Harbor area, to rest at ease, as the tower stands guard against any hostile force that may attempt to approach Maltese shores.

Next, drive through Cospicua to the historical city of Vittoriosa where you will stop for a guided visit of the Parish church of St Lawrence, which is one of the earliest medieval parishes, and St Joseph's Chapel which served as a graveyard during the Greta Siege of 1565.

The tour will then move on in to the heart of Vittoriosa, known as Il-Collachio. This was the area of the city reserved specifically for members of the Order of St John. Within the Collachio still stand the various early Auberges, set up by the Knights on their arrival in Malta following their expulsion from Rhodes.

Your last stop will be a guided tour of the Maritime Museum with artifacts and history dating back from the Phoenician and Roman period.

You will have a guided tour of the St Paul's Cathedral - the original medieval cathedral dedicated to St Paul was destroyed by an earthquake in 1693. The present edifice was completed and consecrated in 1702 and is the work of Lorenzo Gafa (1638-1703). It is traditionally believed to be standing on the site of the house of Publius, the Roman governor at the time of St Paul's stay on the island. the next point of interest will be the fortifications which totally enclose this city.

Finally, enjoy the "Mdina Experience Show" - an audio visual experience on Mdina's checkered history intended to inform and entertain.

Drive to Mosta for your first visit is to St. Mary's Church - a magnificent domed church, known as the Mosta Rotunda built between the 1830's and 1860's. Designed by Maltese architect Giorgio de Vasse, it is said to be the third largest unsupported church dome in Europe - superseded only by St Peter's in Rome and St Sophia in Istanbul.

In World War II, the Church took a direct hit from a German bomb during mass. The bomb pierced the dome, but failed to explode. This event is now legendary. You can see a replica of the 200kilogram bomb in the sacristy.

The next visit is to the silent city of Mdina - the old capital is a typical mediaeval town situated in the center of the island. The "Silent City", as it is also known, commands a magnificent view of the island and although it is fully inhabited, silence reigns supreme. Today, it is mainly off limits to cars and there is a calming atmosphere as you walk along its narrow streets and ways, passing by some of the best Norman and Baroque architecture on the island.

Accompanied by the guide, you will, visit the St. Paul's Cathedral and then to the medieval fortifications for a panoramic view of the island. Lunch will be served at the Bacchus restaurant nestled within the Southern bastion of the City. "The Knights of Malta" show will be your next stop after which a short break for coffee and cakes is included.
