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.

5.00Great tour of the Three Cities. Chris was a great guide and really informative. We learnt a lot about the Three Cities and it's history over the ages in a very engaging manner. It was great to see some of the quieter streets and to have the history explained. This was the second tour that we went on that was operated by Best Tours Malta and it didn't disappoint!

5.00We had an excellent tour with our guide Christian (Chris). I’ve been to Malta several times but never spent time learning about the three cities. Definitely worth the time!! It was also much quieter and peaceful than Valletta. The walks through the neighborhoods gave a real feel for Malta life. Chris shared history, lifestyle, culture and “fun facts” in an engaging and interesting way. The 2.5 hours flew by. He engaged with his group and had a great sense of humor. Very knowledgeable guide. He was able to answer questions and provide interesting commentary He is one of the top tour guides I’ve been on tours with in my travels. The tour itself is well planned and the Three Cities tour gave me a new appreciation for the role the three cities played in Maltas history Tourism focus is on Valletta and Mdina (not to be missed of course), but this tour added so much and was so much less touristy. I highly recommend
Informative but brief

4.00The tour was informative and detailed. But it is mainly just a city tour in Victoriassa instead of 3 cities.
