During our tour of Valletta, our guide will unfold the history of this magnificent city which was built by the Knights of St. John during the 16th and 17th centuries. Valletta is often referred to as one big open-air museum and this is evident as you start to explore it and discover something different around every corner.
We start our walking tour of Valletta at the Upper Barraka Gardens which offer stunning views of the Grand Harbour and magnificent fortifications, a walk down the mains streets where you can admire numerous historical buildings built by the Knights of St. John including the Auberges, Palazzos, the Grand Master's Palace and the St. John's Co. Cathedral, the Church of the Order and also home to Caravaggio's masterpiece "Beheading of St. John" amongst other treasures. We include an internal tour of the cathedral before proceeding to our final visit at the Malta Experience which is a superb 45-minute show illustrating the history of the Maltese Islands - from Neolithic to modern times. The show is displayed on a giant screen by means of state of the art visual and audio effects.
At this stage, our tour comes to an end and we make our way back.

Given the price, this tour was quite disappointing. The experience started with confusion around the transport arrangements, including an unexpected bus change due to coordination issues. Having to get down and switch buses — especially while travelling with a baby — was inconvenient and immediately set a poor tone for the day. The tour was also described as flexible with return time depending on traffic, but in reality it seemed more dependent on the number of hotel pickups and drop-offs . While that’s understandable, it would have been helpful if this had been communicated clearly beforehand, as such details matter when planning the day with a child. Overall, the number of places covered also felt limited compared to other tours we’ve taken at a similar price point. The only real highlight of the experience was our guide, Mario. He was friendly, engaging, and had a great sense of humour, which made the tour more enjoyable.

Very nice experience. The guide took time to explain us perfectly in French language. The visit of Valetta was perfect and amazing. The Experience video was also a great moment. We recommand Maltatours trips. The booking process is easy, they are available on WhatsApp to confirm/explain you. Bravo Maltatours ! :-)

Difficult to stand around when the tour was given in three languages. English was the minority and for sure we got a lot less information then did the other languages. The other tours had just two languages and they were much more enjoyable
