On this tour you will visit the main highlights of Valletta, while also visiting an often ignored but equally fascinating part of the city. The tour starts at the modernized entrance of Valletta, and while walking along the majestic streets of the city, your guide will point out all the main landmarks, while keeping you entertained with fascinating and little-known true stories. What was it like to be a patient at the Holy Infirmatory? Or a galley slave on the ships of the Order? Were all Knights behaving in accordance to their vows?

Our tour guide had exceptional knowledge of Malta and her history. She was studying for her MBA in her chosen field. We really enjoined spending 3 hours with her with just one other couple. We learned a great deal of Malta that we will retain. We also heard massive amounts of artist info and dates etc that we could not possibily remember. The walking pace was gentle and we had a 15 minute break half way Our guide’s English was impeccable. Thanks for the morning

This is a great walking tour to start off a trip to Valletta. We had Matthew as our guide and he was so informative and knowledgeable of the vast history of Malta. Although the tour was 1.5 hours it did not feel that long and thankfully there were no hills or steps included! I would highly recommend the tour.

In depth history of Valletta and the entire country. Our guide, Mario, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, thorough and approachable. If you could let him know, he highly suggested that we go into St. John’s church, but it was closed due to the holiday. We were walking by and miraculously it opened for a service so we were able to see the magnificent of the interior. Definitely lucked out. But, we would probably not have ventured in if it wasn’t for his strong suggestion that we do so.

Matthew was great. Informative and helpful. We covered many interesting landmarks in Valletta. Useful to do the tour early in your visit so you can choose where to go back to.
