Overview

Walk Valletta like it was meant to be explored, through winding alleys and under cannon-scarred bastions with this self-guided tour. Discover the power plays, legends, and quiet corners of the fortress city that most visitors miss.
On this tour, you’ll trace the footsteps of the Knights of St. John through majestic stops like the Grandmaster’s Palace and St. John’s Co-Cathedral, hear about WWII-era bunkers and pause in places where legends of sieges and saints still echo. Along the way, you’ll catch interesting stories like tactics used in the sieges, and the controversy behind a parliament building.
Unlike group tours, this experience lets you move at your own pace. You can linger in gardens, enter a site, or skip ahead. Carefully curated for first-time visitors and history lovers, it balances major landmarks with lesser-known gems. Over 20,000 travelers have used our tours world-over with confidence, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee if not satisfied.
