What To Expect
Valletta
We start by driving around Valletta where you can admire the majestic 16th century fortifications and bastions as they are beautifully lit up during the night, a truly captivating and unique sight.
Valletta Waterfront
After our drive around Valletta’s bastions & fortifications, you will stop at The Valletta Waterfront, this gorgeous promenade located in the Grand Harbor area features nineteen beautifully restored 18th century warehouses, stretching along the water’s edge with a backdrop of historic bastions and fortifications. These gemstone buildings were originally constructed by Grandmaster Manuel Pinto da Fonseca during the late baroque period to be used as stores by the Knights of St. John. Today, ushering in a modern era, the iconic doors have been revived with an artistic impression of color, representing the storage of goods from the past, with blue for fish, green for produce, yellow for wheat and red for wine. The area comes alive at night, attracting locals and tourists alike to its heritage buildings which have been transformed into a variety of lively bars & restaurants. Some free time will be given during our visit to The Valletta Waterfront.

Nice tour for those on a short schedule

5.00I had very short time to get around Malta, so it was the perfect tour to go to Mdina and Rabat, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for me to visit those places. Was nice to be there with no crowds, so peaceful. I'm sure it's quite a different experience. I would only recommend for visitors to get dinner before the tour. Ours got a bit late and once I was back to Valletta, there was nowhere open to grab some food.
