Your adventure starts within the serene Mdina's age-old walls. As you wander down old paths, you'll see large, beautiful palaces and churches. Just through the Greek Gate, the ancient cobblestones of Rabat lead you toward the mysterious catacombs of St. Cataldus. Here, early Christians came together in quiet unity to perform their burial practices, their sacred rituals forever carved into the very fabric of history.

Beyond the paths of the historic landmarks, explore the natural landscape of the tall Dingli Cliffs. The cliffs form a dramatic scene against the blue sea, with the small chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene atop, shining like a jewel. Amidst botanical wonders, San Anton Gardens bloom as a serene oasis with its lush flora and fauna. The gardens boast an impressive collection of exotic plants, some over a century old, adding to the enchanting ambiance of this peaceful retreat.

Stop by the Ta’ Qali Artisan Village to see master artisans at work, expertly shaping molten glass into stunning art pieces. Witness the process of weaving silver threads into exquisite keepsakes that carry the essence of tradition. The adventure reaches its climax beneath the vast Mosta Dome, a symbol of endurance and aspiration. This church stands strong despite almost being destroyed during the war.

Throughout the experience, a knowledgeable expert will guide you, offering valuable insights and information. The activity is offered in 6 languages: German, English, Italian, Polish, French, and Spanish.
