The Best Valletta Tours and Excursions

Heading to  Valletta  on your next trip and looking to take a tour or excursion to see some of the highlights there?

You’ve come to the right place.

In this article I’ve curated the best Valletta tours and excursions that will take you past some of  the best places of interest in Malta’s capital city .

Valletta tours at a glance

These are the types of Valletta tours that I’ll cover today:

• Valletta walking tours
• Valletta boat tour  (around Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour)
• DIY Valletta tours (with itineraries)
• Private tours (also for cruise passengers)
• Segway tours  around the city
• Three Cities tour

Valletta is not a big city, in fact, it’s one of the smallest capital cities in Europe. But within its thick 16th century walls are so many interesting things to learn within short walking distance from each other. And the fun part about all this is that you can tour Valletta in a number of ways.

The below are a few Valletta tours and excursion options to consider. I’ve also included links to a few providers that I recommend booking with online for each.

Best Valletta walking tour

Stretch your legs and warm up your muscles! The best way to explore the city is the most traditional – on foot. Even better if you have a guide to pinpoint items of historical significance which you might otherwise never notice, who can also provide interesting background info.

During this half day Valletta tour, you’ll visit the most important highlights of the city:

• You’ll start at the  Upper Barrakka Gardens  which overlook the Grand Harbour. Admire the great views while enjoying a quick coffee to kickstart your day.
• From there, it’s straight to the spectacular  St. John’s Co-Cathedral . Prepare yourself to meet Caravaggio’s masterpiece  The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist  in the Oratory of the Cathedral, after entering one of the most beautifully decorated cathedrals in Europe.
• You’ll continue to the  Grand Masterʹs Palace and the Armoury . This holds a most-impressive collection of medieval war artefacts.
• Finally, you’ll finish off this tour by visiting the  Malta Experience , a multimedia show that takes you through thousands of years of Maltese history.

The cost of this tour is €40 per person for persons 13+ and €17 per person for children under 12 years.

More info and booking here

Going to a new destination can be daunting and the easiest way is to book a tour, but with Valletta being so small, it’s super easy to do your own sightseeing.

Although I don’t offer tours myself, I’m a huge Valletta fan and wrote a fully-fledged Valletta guidebook. There’s a ton of info in there, but the content is centred around a few itineraries with easy-to-follow walking routes in which I’ve prioritised the best places to visit in the city.

So if you’re only around for one day (on a cruise stop, for example), I’ve presented the best of Valletta on a silver platter.

Either way, if you’re keen to get to know Valletta better before you visit, it’s a very informative guidebook that’s well-reviewed by my readers.

More info here:  Valletta guidebook by Malta Uncovered .

Best Valletta boat tour

There’s the city from the inside, and then there’s the city from the outside. The Grand Harbour is closely tied to Valletta and its rich history. And what better way to explore the two natural harbours on either side of the city than by boat, one of the few Valletta tours at sea?

Hop on board a Wi-Fi-enabled harbour boat for a cruise around Marsamxett Harbour and the captain will take you very close to the fortifications. Meanwhile, a detailed audio commentary provides you with info on the rich history that shaped Valletta and the harbours around it.

You can get on or off at three points of the journey for added flexibility:

• Valletta Waterfront
• Sliema Ferries (great to hop on further tours to other places around Malta and Gozo)
• Esplora Interactive Science Centre (fun outing for kids)

Tickets are just €10 per person and €7.50 for children (ages 4-12).

Private tours of Valletta (also for cruise passengers)

If you’re looking to explore Valletta with the rich insight that a private tour guide can offer you, there are a few highly knowledgeable and experienced tour guides that do a great job.

For cruise passengers who have a short amount of time available for sightseeing, taking a private tour is the best way to maximise time on shore. These are a few options to consider, starting and ending at the cruise port terminal:

• 3-Hour private walking tour  (max group of 4)
• 4-Hour private walking tour , including the Three Cities

If you’re not a cruise passenger, you can still join these private walking tours. The cruise port terminal is a 10-15 minute walk away from City Gate, located at the end of the Valletta Waterfront down at the harbour.

Valletta tours by segway

Probably the most fun way of exploring Valletta is taking a segway tour. Hop on these noiseless two-wheeled contraptions and follow the leader around the straight streets of the city.

With 3 choice tour durations of 1.5 hours, 2 hours or 3 hours, you can go on a segway tour during mornings, afternoons and evenings. Your guide will help you get familiar with the easy-to-steer segways, and then show you around the most interesting places in the city.

Segway tours can be enjoyed by persons from 14 years to adult and prices start from €45 per person.

Tip: My Valletta travel guide book shortlists some of the best places to see and visit, so you don’t have to depend on excursions or tours to explore the city!

Other Valletta tours

The three cities tour – half day (morning).

This half-day trip takes you around the three fortified cities of  Birgu , Cospicua and Senglea. Popularly, these are known as the Three Cities (also referred to as Cottonera ). On their arrival on the islands, the Knights of the Order of St. John  made these cities their domain. They built some of the most impressive fortifications in the world, famous for having repelled a massive Ottoman invasion (known as the Great Siege of 1565).

During the duration of the tour, you’ll experience Malta by car, on foot and also by small boat ferry. First, there’s an informative drive through Cospicua. This is followed by a walking tour of Birgu (Vittoriosa), visiting several historical buildings and churches.

Next up, is a harbour cruise on a traditional Maltese boat from where you can truly be amazed by the immensity of the fortifications built by the Knights. The tour ends in Senglea, with a visit to the watchtower overlooking the Grand Harbour.

The cost of this tour is €32 per person for persons 13+ and €15 per person for children under 12 years.

Grand Harbour Cruise

• All around the Grand Harbour
• Cruising into all creeks to admire forts, fortified walls & battlements
• Boat cruise around the Grand Harbour

The Valletta harbour cruise will be a truly memorable experience for you.

The Grand Harbour between Malta’s Capital City Valletta and the Three Cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua is aptly named. It is grand in every way. There are certainly other fortified harbours around the Mediterranean, but none reach the majesty or provoke as much awe as Grand Harbour with Valletta it’s towering glory and the lovely Three Cities. What better way to admire its seemingly endless fortifications and baroque and medieval architecture, than onboard a ferry cruising on its deep waters and many creeks.

Malta’s fortifications are considered to be the best examples of military architecture anywhere in the world.

Here are some expert comments on the fortifications surrounding the Valletta Grand Harbour:

“the most powerful artificial fortress in the world.” Major General Whitworth Porter of the Royal Engineers .

“for sheer concentration and majesty quite unmatched.” British architect Quentin Hughes.

“nowhere in the world are fortifications more extensive, more impressive, more outstanding than they are in Malta.” Judge and historian Giovanni Bonello.

The splendour of Valletta and the Grand Harbour attracts hundreds of cruise liners making the Valletta cruise port schedule full all year round. These sleek cruise liners make for an impressive sight as they sit along- side the towering bastions; old and new side by side. On this cruise you’ll be taken into all the creeks to admire the forts and battlements and along the towering walls that surround Valletta and the three cities as well as cruising Marsamxetto Harbour between Valletta and Sliema. A Grand Harbour cruise will be a truly memorable experience for you and one that you’ll never forget.

• Malta in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea was always part of much bigger importance to their conquerors. Although small Malta was part of the Mediterranean history that shaded this region.  

A Little History On The Ports

These natural ports have been attractive to many mariners and conqueror due to their natural sheltered creaks.

The Great Siege of 1565

This brought with it the biggest siege of 1565 where the KNights of ST. John were attacked by the mighty Ottoman Empire with the intension of destroying the knights and taking over these islands that are very strategically located to then attack Europe. For three months the knights and Maltese endured the siege but finally won.

The Battles of World War II

At the time the Maltese islands were under British rule. German and Italian air forces heavily bombarded the harbour areas and the surrounding towns. They had the intension of destroying the British military power where they kept the battleships and the dockyard within the harbour creaks. Many damaged vessels used to come from different part of the Mediterranean to be repaired.

In the first stages of the war the British army heavily armed the port area with many antiaircraft concrete bunkers to withstand the assault.    

The Maltese endured all this and where they showed great courage where Malta was awarded the George Cross by King George VI.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
