The Three Cities is a collective description of the three fortified cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea.

The oldest of the Three Cities is Vittoriosa, which has existed since the Middle Ages. The other two cities, Senglea and Cospicua, were both founded by the Order of the Knights of Saint John in the 16th and 17th centuries respectively.

During this half-day tour, you will have the opportunity to appreciate these unique historical fortified cities and admire magnificent churches, traditional piazzas, incredible fortifications, and architectural treasures found all around the Three Cities area, pieces of living history kept alive by hundreds of years of preservation!

From my pick up and drop off -it was very well organised. I met with my guide at the start of the tour. She was very knowledgeable and very respecting of other tourists. She made sure that we were all together and at the very end of the tour made sure we got on the correct coach for the return to our hotels. It was truly a lovely well planned tour.

I had booked this tour because it was offered in German. What do I want in English on a tour steeped in history if I don't understand English? Wasted money and that wasn't the first time.
Great excursion

Guide showed up a half hour late. 15+ nervous people waiting for a bus with no information of why it was late. Guide was terrible. No audio devices available on a walking tour!? so we heard next to nothing of what she said. When we could hear her, her commentary was useless. Only talked about Malta being independent of Britain now and how great that was. Talked a lot about how awful the young people in Malta are now and how difficult it is to renovate the houses. When I asked her questions about the history of Malta, she knew nothing.
