Guided walking tour of Valletta

Embark on an enchanting guided tour through Valletta, Malta’s illustrious capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded by the Knights of St. John in 1566, this fortified city is a living museum, brimming with history and architectural splendour. For 268 years, the Knights ruled Malta, leaving behind a legacy that shines through Valletta’s grand Baroque palaces, magnificent churches, picturesque gardens, and formidable fortifications.

As you stroll through its vibrant streets, you’ll admire stunning 16th-century buildings and diverse styles ranging from Baroque to Neo-Classical and Modern. A highlight is the Upper Barrakka Gardens, offering breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour—perfect for memorable photos.

Enjoy 30–40 minutes of free time or opt for a guided visit to St. John’s Co-Cathedral (ticket not included), an awe-inspiring masterpiece completed in 1577, renowned for its intricate design and world-class art. Our expert guides will enrich your experience with captivating stories that bring Valletta’s past to life.

Before concluding, you may also attend an optional audiovisual show about Malta’s dramatic history (ticket not included)—an engaging and educational finale to your journey.
