the three fortified cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa
and Senglea. During the tour you will drive

tasting tour commences with a historical introduction amongst
original artefacts, followed by an explanation about the process of
how the locally grown grapes are pressed, fermented and eventually
transformed into wine. The wine sampling is held in the restaurant, where trained staff guide guests through a wine tasting session to sample different Maltese wines accompanied by a selection of local savouries like Maltese bread and cheese.

Very Little Time in Three Cities
BusybeeSussex,Mar 27, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00Picked up 8.30 an hour later others joined other participants we were on our way with guide Marko. Marko was lively enthusiastic and guided us through the narrow streets imparting knowledge. A 20 min coffee/free time break then back to the bus on our way to wine tasting. The nibbles of cheese, meats, olives etc were great but the three wines tasted were 17 to 25 euro ...overpriced for the quality. After boarding the bus for return journey were shocked when bus stopped and called our hotel...we asked where...pointed down a street ...it was no where to be seen...we are good walkers but pick up and drop off should be exactly that ! We were back by 1.15 Very little time spent in three cities....we would have preferred longer in three cities...actual guide time was small
Great half day tour,...

4.00Great half day tour, Mario the guide was informative and funny . Although it was raining it was only a short walking tour about 1 hour , then bus to a wine restaurant for quite a few snacks - more like a light lunch and 3 small glasses of wine. Very good value for money
Decent Tour, Food and Wine

3.00This tour was perfectly pleasant, but not quite as special as we’d hoped. The main focus is a roughly one-hour walking tour of Vittoriosa, which is nice enough but fairly light in depth. The guide shared some interesting facts and points of interest, though their somewhat idiosyncratic English made things a little hard to follow at times. Overall, there wasn’t much of a clear or coherent narrative to help visitors really grasp Malta’s extraordinarily rich and layered history. It was also a bit awkward to overhear the guide and bus driver openly complaining about another guide being late. That said, the Vittoriosa visit did include entry to a beautifully restored historic house, which was genuinely fascinating and a highlight of that part of the tour. The food and wine tasting that followed was generous and enjoyable, if a bit plain. The buffet of traditional Maltese foods was plentiful and could easily stand in for lunch: sundried tomatoes, peppered cheese, fresh breads, broad bean dip, sausage, and more. The wine tasting included a white, a rosé, and a red, all solid entry-level introductions to Maltese wine. The absolute standout of the entire experience was the sommelier who led the wine tasting. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate, and his explanations added real depth and value to the experience. There was also an excellent opportunity to buy wine afterwards. In addition to the tasting wines, some prestige bottles were available, and the sommelier gave thoughtful, expert advice. Prices were very good too. We bought the beautiful 101 Marsovin Brut Rosé and the Ġuże Passito dessert wine for €30 and €28 respectively, both of which we later saw at the airport for at least €20 more per bottle. All in all, a decent afternoon. If you’re particularly interested in Maltese wine, the information and buying opportunity makes it worthwhile, but don’t expect a deeply immersive historical tour of the Three Cities.
Great tour

5.00This was a great tour. Mark was amazing. He explained everything we saw very well. The wine tasty was great too. Good food and great wine. I would recommend this tour to anyone that does not want to walk for a little bit. The walking isn't bad but i could see someone with mobility issues having a little trouble. Great tour!!
Ecxellent tour

5.00We were very happy with the tour, the pick up was on time, the tour guide Daiwa gave us a lot of information. We walked through the amazing old narrow streets and the wine tasting was also great!
A steep one hour walk...

3.00A steep one hour walk through the three cities. Although several “rest” stops in between, it is not for those with mobility issues.
Good tour, learned a lot....

5.00Mark was fantastic. We were unsure about this tour as we went on a different one with Hello Malta and it wasn’t great at all due to lack of organisation and not being given any information. Mark made sure we knew where we were going and what was next, he was very attentive and answered any questions and waited for the group to all catch up on the walking tour. We had a quick look at the two cities which were mostly destroyed in WW2, then spent an hour or so walking round Vittoriosa and had a great tour throughout discovering the history. Then a quick coach trip to the wine tasting which we had loads of food at and tried a white, red and rose. We bought some bottles. We were back in Valletta by 12:30. Only downside is we were picked up first so spent an hour on the coach picking people up. Other than that can’t complain about anything, the best trip we went on all holiday. Thanks Mark!
Excellent!

5.00I had an amazing experience with Hello Malta Tours! The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire journey both fun and informative. The buses were clean and comfortable, and the timing was perfectly managed. We visited some of the most beautiful spots in Malta, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the commentary which gave great insights into Malta’s rich history and culture. This tour is perfect for anyone wanting to explore Malta without the stress of planning. Highly recommended for families, couples, and solo travelers. Truly the best tour experience in Malta!
