Mobile ticket
Our guided walking tour through the vibrant streets of Valletta will allow you to discover the beauty and charm of the fortified city built by the Knights in 1566. The Order of St. John ruled over the islands for 268 years and left a unique cultural legacy of which Valletta is the prime example and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We first enjoy a breathtaking view of the Grand Harbour from the Upper Barracca Gardens. Then we visit St. John’s Co-Cathedral (optional or free time), including the Caravaggio masterpieces in the Oratory, the Flemish tapestries and the church museum. The Co-Cathedral houses one of the most beautiful marble inlaid floors in the world.
Going down Republic Street you will walk past the Grand Master’s Palace and the recently restored St. George’s Square before watching the Malta Experience (Mondays) or Malta 5D (Wednesdays), an audiovisual show where Malta’s history throughout the centuries is brought back to life.

5.00Our Francophone guide was very interesting. She knew how to take us into the history of Malta and transport us to the time of the Knights of the Order. Thank you very much.

5.00Thoroughly worth the cost for Elisabeth’s clear and insightful commentary. A great mix of history of Malta, art history, geography and culture. Elisabeth’s knowledge and delivery was brilliant. She was happy to answer lots of questions and had a lovely smile. So glad she was there for our visit to St John’s Co-Cathedral, we would have missed lots without her. Her insight into Caravaggio and his style of painting was very enlightening too! It was an absolutely pleasure.
Peaceful,reflection

5.00Incredible cathedral, We did a walking tour the previous day with Matthew from colour my world. His in depth knowledge provided an excellent background into our trip to the Cathedral. The ornate tombs of the 400 Knights are Incredible. Everything was clean ,the rules are few but very clear . People were adhering to them which is nice to see. The masterpieces on display are stunning. Caravaggios .Beheading of St john the baptist plus the very insightful side exhibit digitally explains the work. You don't need to be an art lover to enjoy this place at all. You just need to be in awe at the work.
Historic meeting that takes your breath away

No better than a travel book for explaining the history.

2.00Enjoyed seeing the sights and the Malta Experience - but the guided talk was no better than we could have read in a travel book - the guide did not bring the city and history to life. We also realised afterwards that entry to the Malta Experience should have gained us access to the Sacra Inferma, but the guide did not point this out.
