Our guided tour through the vibrant streets of Valletta will allow you to discover the beauty and charm of the capital city of Malta; a fortified city built by the Knights of St. John in 1566.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety and with a history spanning almost 5 centuries, Valletta is regarded by many as an open-air museum! With its imposing fortifications and bastions, amazing baroque palaces, marvellous churches, gorgeous gardens, and beautiful architecture ranging from mid-16th century baroque to modernism, Valletta is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary and charming cities you will ever visit.
Stroll past the historic buildings, admire exquisite baroque architecture and appreciate the magnificence of the St John’s Co-Cathedral, take in the views of the Grand Harbour from the terraced Upper Barrakka Gardens and enjoy a must-see audio-visual show about the history of Malta.

Valletta
During this tour, we will walk through the bustling streets of Valletta, admiring the stunning buildings (some dating back to the 16th century) and the distinctive architecture of the city – the city is Baroque in character, with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical, and Modern architecture. We will walk past the Grand Master's Palace, the recently restored St. George's Square, and many other remarkable landmarks.
Upper Barrakka Gardens
A visit to the Upper Barrakka Gardens is a must; here, you can take in breathtaking views of the magnificent Grand Harbour, providing a perfect backdrop for memorable photographs. The gardens are located on the upper tier of Saints Peter and Paul Bastion, which was built in the 1560s. The bastion's lower tier contains the saluting battery. The garden's terraced arches were built in 1661 by the Italian knight Fra Flaminio Balbiani. They were originally roofed, but the ceiling was removed following the Rising of the Priests in 1775.

Almost a great tour

4.00This was a good trip but the guide seemed to be going through the motions without any emotion. The tour was good but it could have been a whole day rather than half (add a boat trip?) I would still recommend, though.
Great tour with informative guide Mark

5.00Excellent walking tour which was split into three language groups. The French and English together but the guide was excellent and plenty of photo time whilst he explained in both languages. First section was historic centre, followed by co cathedral with an hour of free time to explore further in the cathedral or outside before Malta Show Experience a 40 min history of Malta film. Would recommend

5.00Well-organised tour. My guide, John Paul, knew everything about Valletta and made sure we saw as much as possible. Absolutely worth every penny.
Excellent tour

1.00Very poor meetup instructions in Valletta. As a result we were lost and missed our tour which was not cheap. We did try to meet up with the group at another point but it was too late to connect with them. I would hesitate to use this company again.
Very good Valletta

4.00Guide was fabulous 👌 Kept rather large party together well Had superb knowledge of Valletta and brought city to life . Co cathedral was stunning. Malta experience was informative (45 mins too long) I'd prefer more walking time with the guide. Pick up was not as organised or timely as usual. However as soon as guide appeared...... tour was great.
Not recommended. Mejor un free tour/ not worth. Better choose a free tour

1.00The final film, the best of the tour. Unfortunately, our experience with this tour did not meet our expectations, especially considering the price (38€/person in August 2025). Firstly, the tour was delayed both in pick-up time and start, which significantly reduced the time of the visit. The advertised duration was about four hours, but in reality, the actual journey time was only about one hour. With a half-hour free stop at the Upper Barakka Gardens. Added to this was a free time of one hour and, at the end, a stop to watch the 45-minute Malta Experience video. The latter felt more like a filler than an integral part of the tour. Although they had the same as the guide, but in more detail, related and clear. The guide, Elena, although very friendly, had some difficulties with Spanish that made the explanations confusing and disjointed, which made it difficult for us to follow the story and the data that were trying to transmit. On several occasions, we were left feeling that important details were missing. In addition, the free time of one hour to visit the cathedral was a weak point. For those of us who didn’t have the ticket included, we were offered no alternatives or directions, leaving us with a dead time when we didn’t know what to do unless we explicitly asked. In short, the combination of delays, a very short actual tour time, confusing explanations and poorly managed free time makes the price excessive for what is offered. We have information from other travelers who made a much more complete and enjoyable free tour.
You're on time. Don't hire her.

1.00Bad. The guides, perhaps because of the language, told practically nothing. They showed us a fountain, the high garden, without saying there was the option of the low. We were rushed to the co-cath to see a boring movie. I would have liked more time in the cathedral and they will tell us more. The guide “translated” what his partner told the Italian group. I wouldn't recommend it at all, it's more productive to do it on my own, to have paid so much, for nothing.
Old Valetta is beautiful...

5.00Old Valetta is beautiful and absolutely steeped in history. The Co-Cathedral is magnificent and an art lovers paradise. Jenika (excuse the spelling) our guide was fantastic.
The outside doesn't seem really worth it, but the inside is breath taking!!

5.00There is so much to see here; both the marble floor and the paintings, statues, golden wall coverings and the separate chapels! There are 2 large paintings by Caravaggio and there is a room where you can watch an interesting film about the life of this Italian (baroque) painter. In church you can go to the toilet for free.
