Although this tour includes some historic attractions, this is not a history tour, the focus of this tour is not history but nature, the tour is overseen by a fully qualified botanist and although he is knowledgeable on some aspects and areas of the Maltese history, he is not a history guide. We suggest wearing comfortable trekking shoes and casual but adequate clothing in conformity with the weather conditions (sandals & flip-flops are not recommended). Guests are allowed to bring their own food/snacks and beverages during this tour. A 30/40-minute (optional) swim stop at Mistra Bay is also included during the tour (subject to weather conditions). The swim stop is optional, therefore if guests do not feel like swimming, they can decide to discard the swim stop and proceed with the walking tour.
