Description

On this tour you will visit the main highlights of Valletta, while also visiting an often ignored but equally fascinating part of the city. The tour starts at the modernized entrance of Valletta, and while walking along the majestic streets of the city, your guide will point out all the main landmarks, while keeping you entertained with fascinating and little-known true stories. What was it like to be a patient at the Holy Infirmatory? Or a galley slave on the ships of the Order? Were all Knights behaving in accordance to their vows?

Great Overview of Valletta

This was a great tour overall. I felt like I got a comprehensive lesson of the city’s history and landmarks. In fact, there was so much history, I felt a little overwhelmed by all the information. However, I’m glad I did the tour and learned more about Valletta.
