This is the best way to discover the 3 Cities area with a particular attention to the most historic city of Vittoriosa, through the streets of which we will be walking so as for us to discover the incredible stories behind the walls and narrow streets of the city built by the knights.
The experience starts in Cospicua at the berthing place of the 3 cities ferry. We suggest you take the ferry from Valletta to the 3 Cities where you'll find us waiting as you board off the ferry on the 3 Cities side. There we walk through Cospicua and start the discovery of these amazing cities on the harbour with beautiful breathtaking views all along. We get to visit the Collacchio area with its beautifully stepped narrow winded streets. We also walk through the escape route of the city and then by the oldest fortress in the harbour which served as prison to Caravaggio and headquarter to the British Navy. All along the route you will be taking in some of the most amazing views of the Grand Harbour.

5.00Excellent tour with tour guide John. Extremely interesting and informative. John is a really knowledgeable and engaging guide. We would highly recommend the tour - it was well worth it. We saw and learnt things that we would not have experienced independently. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

5.00Great walking tour with Darryl. Leisurely walk through the beautiful streets of the 3 cities. Ends at the spot where you get the small ferries back to Valletta, great end to the trip. It is hard and confusing to find the meeting spot and Google Maps is not much help as well as the fact the places in 3 Cities have 2 names. Leave plenty of time to find the meeting spot if travelling from Valletta
Excellent experience and guide

5.00We recently did the 3 Cities tour in Malta and had an amazing experience. Our tour guide was excellent—extremely knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about Malta’s history. She explained everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Her deep understanding of the country’s past really stood out, and you could tell she genuinely loves sharing it with others. It made the tour feel much more meaningful rather than just a standard walkthrough. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Malta!
