Voted one of the world's most scenic views!
Described as the heart of the Capital, St George’s Square is Valletta’s largest and most prominent square. Dating back to the 17th century, it has witnessed some of the most notable occasions in the Island’s history including royal visits, victory celebrations and even the presentation of the George Cross in 1942.
The theatre received a direct hit from aerial bombing in 1942 during World War II. Prior to its destruction, it was one of the most beautiful and iconic buildings in Valletta. After several abandoned plans to rebuild the theatre, the ruins were redesigned by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and in 2013 it once again started functioning as a performance venue, called Pjazza Teatru Rjal.
Home to the works of Caravaggio

If you have never been to Malta and only have a short time - this is the tour to beat walking in the heat and see a great deal of Valletta. Nico was informative and adjusted the trip to include deviations we asked about (in the city). Was easy to navigate the hills and crowds on the Segways. Two in our group were new to Segways and picked up using a Segway in a few minutes (Nico is a good patient teacher).

Great experience. Learned a lot about the architecture of Malta while cruising around on a Segway. Nicolas was great and safety cautious.
Nicolas is a very passionate and fascinating English-speaking guide. The Segway is a great way to visit a city like Valletta where there are many hills.
Myself and my sons had a really wonderful time seeing Valletta by Segway. I thought it was the highlight of our holiday as it was such fun but also because it made getting around Valletta’s steep streets much easier and Matthew our guide would tell us a bit about Valletta’s history at each stop. The price included entry to the Malta Experience at the end which was also well worth the visit - again we learnt so much about Malta’s history. My sons and I would highly recommend this activity. Enjoy!
Fabulous morning with Matthew. An excellent tour guide. Never had set foot on a Segway before & I felt at ease (eventually)! Great tour, great spots & well ran!!
If you’re visiting Malta and are thinking about booking this Segway tour, don’t hesitate for a second it was genuinely one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. There were eight of us in our group, including young children, and from the moment we arrived we felt completely looked after. The two-hour tour was perfectly paced and never felt rushed. Our guide made sure everyone was comfortable and confident on the Segways before we set off, and throughout the tour he was incredibly patient, especially with the children, making sure they felt safe, encouraged and included every step of the way. The route itself was fantastic, taking us to some stunning locations with incredible views and hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. What really made the experience special was that our guide didn’t just take us from place to place – he brought Malta to life. His knowledge of the local history, architecture and culture was exceptional. Every stop came with fascinating stories and historical facts about the buildings, landmarks and surrounding areas, making the tour as educational as it was fun. He also went above and beyond by stopping at the perfect photo locations and taking some absolutely brilliant pictures of our family. It meant everyone could be in the photos together, and we’ve come away with some amazing memories that we’ll treasure for years. What impressed us most was his genuine enthusiasm and passion. You could tell he absolutely loves what he does, and that energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble, and he constantly checked that everyone was happy and comfortable. We’ve done a lot of excursions around the world, and this genuinely ranks among the very best. It was fun, informative, relaxing, incredibly well organised and suitable for all ages. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends or as a family with children like we were, this is an experience you simply shouldn’t miss.
Nicolas was our guide and he was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about history and he care when we were all new to this was fantastic. On top of this the actual tour was the best ever so glad we did this . Managed to see all the main sites without having to walk anywhere :)
We did a 2 hour segway tour with Nicholas. This was the best experience we had in Malta, by far. I have 3 kids and was very nervous about they navigating the segway. But, Nicholas made sure we all were comfortable with them before we started. He was very entertaining and gave great detail about all of Malta history. We had a great day, and would go back.
This was a fun and engaging way to tour and learn about the Island. I fell off once because I turned too close to the curb but I would do the whole tour again! The tour guide was knoweledgeable, caring and helpful!
