We did an excursion on Malta that took us to Mdina, St. Paul, and a glass blowing shop. It was OK, but I would have preferred a more in depth tour of St. John's. The good thing is that St. John's is within walking distance (long walk) of where the ship docked (or a very short taxi ride). We did a self guided tour, but wished we had a more in depth tour.
Here are a couple of photos we took of St. John's:
