Explore the historic capital of Malta on this guided tour of La Valeta. Discover the city's beautiful gardens, stunning monuments, and, if desired, visit the famous St. John's Co-Cathedral and enjoy The Malta Experience, a popular audiovisual show. Get ready to dive into Maltese history!

Tour Options

During the booking process, you'll be able to choose between three different options. Please read below the details of each option:

Valletta Guided Tour + Pickup & Co-Cathedral Tour (4.5 Hours)

Once picked up from your hotel or nearest accommodation, we'll head to the oldest part of the Maltese capital for a guided tour of the historic center of Valletta.

Our first stop is the romantic Upper Barrakka Gardens. In this 18th-century park built above Valletta port, we'll learn about the history of this oasis of calm, once a retreat for retired Italian knights, offering delightful scenic views of the Great Harbour.

The tour continues with a visit to the St. John's Co-Cathedral, constructed by the Knights Hospitalier. These knights amassed a vast collection of art, including the renowned 'Beheading of St. John the Baptist', a Caravaggio masterpiece.

After the Co-Cathedral, we proceed to St. George's Square to admire the Presidential Palace from outside. Finally, we'll take in the theatre of Fort Saint Elmo and enjoy The Malta Experience, an audiovisual spectacle that brings to life the rich history of the Maltese archipelago through the centuries.

After the show, we'll take you back to the departure point.

Schedule: Monday and Wednesday between 8:30 and 9:30 am

Valletta Guided Tour + Pickup (4.5 Hours)

If you do not wish to visit the Co-Cathedral, you can still join this tour. Instead, you'll have 45 minutes of free time to explore the surrounding areas. After this, we'll meet up to resume the tour.

Schedule: Monday and Wednesday between 8:30 and 9:30 am

Valletta Guided Tour (3.5 Hours)

If you prefer to meet directly at La Valeta, this option is for you. We'll meet at 9:30 am at Hotel Phoenicia to start our tour of the Maltese capital.

The itinerary remains the same: we'll visit the Upper Barrakka Gardens, St. George's Square, and the Presidential Palace, followed by 45 minutes of free time to explore the Co-Cathedral's surroundings at your own pace.

Finally, we’ll conclude at the entrance to The Malta Experience show on Monday or the Malta 5D show on Wednesday. The ticket is not included, but you can purchase it at the ticket booth.

Schedule: Monday and Wednesday at 9:30 am from Hotel Phoenicia

Pickup is only available from selected hotels in Malta. After making your booking, we'll contact you to inform you of the closest hotel to your location for pickup.
