Malta beckons with golden limestone temples that have witnessed seven millennia of human ambition. This extraordinary archipelago holds impossibly massive megalithic temples erected by vanished civilizations, underground necropoles carved from solid bedrock, where flickering torch shadows dance across ancient red paint swirls, and fortress cities where Knights once stood defiant against Ottoman armies.
This compact Mediterranean crossroads has absorbed the footfalls of Neolithic temple builders, Phoenician merchants, Roman administrators, Byzantine devotees, Arab mathematicians, Norman crusaders, and the legendary Knights of St. John—each leaving their mark in stone, art, and tradition across Malta’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites and large natural harbors.
The landscape itself tells this story—honey-colored bastions rising dramatically from azure harbors. Labyrinthine medieval streets showcase ornate doorways adorned with the crosses of the Knights Hospitaller and stone-carved family escutcheons dating back centuries. Arab-influenced enclosed wooden balconies extend over narrow passages. Throughout the islands, archaeological treasures challenge our understanding of prehistoric capabilities.
At Take Me To Europe Tours, we reveal the soul of these islands through guided tours to Malta and Gozo led by passionate local guides and renowned archaeologists who show us why the archipelago is an unparalleled destination for the historically curious.
When you’re ready to walk these storied islands, our local Maltese archaeologists and local guides will walk with you through layers of time with intellectual rigor and sensory richness. Our Malta tours immerse you in the cool darkness of Malta caves like the Hypogeum where ancient voices seem to echo across millennia, the mathematical precision of temple doorways that frame solstice sunlight, and the imposing grandeur of Valletta’s sun-drenched fortifications.
Your journey becomes a hands-on exploration of Malta as you trace temple carvings with archaeologists who reveal their meaning, and stand at strategic harbor points where civilizations were defended or fell. Our specialists in Malta archaeology transform seemingly silent stones into vivid narratives of power, faith, and ingenuity spanning thousands of years.
Our weeklong Malta tour packages balance intellectual discovery with sensory pleasure: evenings in historic palazzos transformed into elegant accommodations, meals that reconstruct ancient culinary traditions, and expert-led tours to Malta paced to allow true absorption of each remarkable site.
Experience the thrill of standing where megalithic builders aligned massive stones with celestial movements, where Grand Masters planned defenses against Ottoman sieges, and where everyday life has continued in island fishing communities for three thousand years.
