Itinerary
- New Parliament Building, Republic St, Valletta, Malta
- 1Your guide will meet you at the entrance of Valletta at 10.00am in front of the New Parliament on Freedom Square and proceed on a 3 hour guided tour of Malta's capital city. Valletta, an architectural gem, is a monument in itself founded by the Knights of St John following the victory of the Great Siege of 1565. Your private tour guide will lead you through this unique city and highlight the history behind the imposing facades. Valletta is a planned fortress city, a living testimony of Malta's rich heritage. The walk will finish with a guided tour of St. John's Co-Cathedral, the former Conventual Church of the Knights of Malta. This unique church is one of the finest examples of baroque architecture and one of the world’s greatest cathedrals. (Tickets to the Cathedral can be bought on the day and are not included in the tour price).

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 713simony0 contributionsThis tour is very well worth doingMeeting point was clearly. Communicated and met up on time and easy to locate our guide. There were about 24 in the group but with good audio equipment from the guide, it was easy to follow her and hear clearly what she is saying along the way. A very easy walk that starts at the Mdina fortress gate. Meander thru the fortress and ended at Rabat, the old town. Guide was very knowledgeable, very friendly., and shared many Maltese ways of life alongside the sights as we went. A bathroom break (free entry) about 3/4 way through was nicely timed. Highly recommend doing this with City WalkingTour.Written October 8, 2024
- D2002TMbarbarap0 contributionsValetta history and foodBrilliant tour w family of 4 adults. The tour was made better by charming Marisa's knowledge and enthusiasm for Malta. Architecture, history and food. Strongly recommend.Written October 7, 2024
- Linda H0 contributionsNot for me.Unfortunately I did not enjoy most of the food. I tried the Maltese coffee, and little sweet offerings, horse, Maltese sausage, cheese, some sort of spread. I did not find the food visually appealing or tasty. The pea pastry and sourdough tuna and lettuce were nice. The cultural aspect I enjoyed, but being slightly deaf I missed quite a lot.Written October 7, 2024
- kathysZ3617WM0 contributionsHighly recommend!Best tour I have been on in a long time. Angela,the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. The tour was the perfect balance between food, walking and cultural information. The food was wonderful and I tried dishes I normally would not have. I was honestly surprised at how much food we ate for the tour price - and excellent value. Take this tour with Angela- you will not regret it!Written October 5, 2024
- Stu_Hill_UK0 contributionsGreat way to learn about history and taste local foodA lovely morning spent walking the streets of Valetta and learning a lot about the history of the stunning city. 4 stops for food / drink, all of which were very local tasting sessions and informativeWritten October 5, 2024
- Susan W0 contributionsDon’t eat breakfast first - fabulous tourWe did this tour with Ernest as our guide a day ago. The tour, the food tastings and Ernest’s passion and knowledge for his city and its food was outstanding. We learnt a lot about the history of Valletta in a fun way and her food story. At the same time there were sufficient stops to rest up, eat each tasting and introduce oneself to other tourists. Would definitely recommend it. A heads up - there are lots of tastings so suggest you only eat a light breakfast, make sure you have water, a sun hat and sunscreen in warm weather wear sturdy, closed in shoes as there are sections with steep stairs. Above all be on time. We loved it and Ernest really made it special.Written October 4, 2024

- Boondoggler0 contributionsInteresting tour with AngelWe had an excellent tour led by Angel. 2 hours felt about right to explore the city and Rabat. Mdina was incredibly busy with dozens of tour groups from cruise ships. Angel was able to minimise our time spent with them and visit some of the quieter spots in the city. The ear phones also helped with maintaining communication in the busy areas. Angel also recommended restaurants and places to visit which we appreciated and acted onWritten September 26, 2024
- j0j01050 contributionsMdina and Rabat - AngelaAngela- our guide, was wonderful, very knowledgeable, and brilliant at guiding. Her enthusiasm was very clear about the city. The group was fairly large, but the headsets were very good ideas, so we could hear her very clearly while not standing right next to her. The city was exceptionally busy, but she guided us around the less crowded streets and alleyways. She made recommendations about restaurants and the museums. Wignecourt musem in Rabat - well worth extra visit for the catacombs and WW 2 shelter.Written September 24, 2024
- Lyn G0 contributionsUnpicking the silent cityMdina was exceptionally busy but Angela did not let this affect the delivery of her walking tour. Her knowledge is outstanding and delivers it with such ease. The headset and earpiece were brilliant. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour.Written September 24, 2024
- bkenny80 contributionsStunning MdinaThe Mdina & Rabat Tour was beautiful. What a stunning area in Malta. Inside Mdina ancient walls was so pretty and Angele was very knowledgeable. This was my second tour with Angele and although we walked at an easy pace, again, we covered every part of the walled town. So enjoyable -stunning! Rabat was less pretty but very interesting with lovely streets. I recommend this tour.Written September 23, 2024

This was an outstanding mix of high politics and daily life, history and architecture, the medieval and the modern. Highly recommended; definitely worth the time. I would also recommend adding the cathedral as the personal tour of the architecture and the two Carravaggios was excellent.

Valletta is the capital of MALTA. The co-cathedral of Saint John is a Catholic cathedral, located in Valletta. It was built between 1573 and 1577, by the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. It is built of Maltese limestone, the exterior of the church has an austere appearance. It measures 65 m long by 40 m wide. I recommend a walk in the gardens and on the docks.

This tour is a perfect way to discover Valetta.
I forgot the name of the guide (I did the tour on Friday, the 3rd of September) but she was really nice and knew what she was talking about.
It was really interesting to know the history of Valetta and Malta in general.
I enjoyed every minute of it, I recommend!

Wonderful tour this morning with such a quirky and informative guide. We learnt so much from her and saw so much of the city. We were told interesting facts about the Lent biscuits! When you visit Valletta do book this tour when you arrive!

We did the Valletta City Walking Tour. At the end of the tour, we liked it so much we added on the St. John's Co-Cathedral tour which the guide did right after the main tour ended. The guide was knowledgeable, nice, and gave a good combination of the history of Valletta and Malta together with the modern character of the place. She kept the group moving without it being too much or too long. Adding on the cathedral tour was great. We would not have understood what we were seeing or the history behind it without her commentary, and we got to skip the line to buy individual tickets which saved a lot of time. Well worth doing.

Angele was our host for this tour and she did not disappoint.She was punctual , pleasant and had a wealth of knowledge about Valletta. My tour group was fairly small with only 8 of us and some had opted to only do the 2 hour tour. Angele did the tour in a way to ensure that those in the 2 hour tour didnt miss anything and the pace was perfect meaning that those who had mobility issues were easily able to keep up with the tour. When the 2 hour groups left the rest of us made our way to St John's Co-Cathedral and what a site that was! It is breathtaking - Angele showed us around and gave us a ton of information then she left us to continue exploring on our own.
This is definitely a trip well worth the money. TIP: If you have your student card / NUS/ TOTEM card you get the same rate as the seniors (currently 7.50)

Our guide Angele was great . The tour gave an overview of the city and opened up possibilities for further individual visits.
It’s worthwhile going into St. John’s cathedral at the end of the tour as she was very knowledgeable.
