The Dark History of Valletta – Walking Tour

5.The Dark History of Valletta – Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 50 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $24Top rated

Walk Valletta after dark with Dark Malta Tours. Stories of murders, ghosts, and saints above the streets, ending by Grand Master’s Palace.

“Mario our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting. As frequent visitors to Malta we learnt some new information doing this tour. While I would recommend this tour you do need to be mobile and fit as Valletta is very hilly and you do walk right down to the bottom and back up. It was a great night.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 44 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $167

Private food and history tour of Malta with Mdina, Rabat, Mosta, and optional Valletta, plus Maltese tastings and dinner.

“Leider muss ich einen Stern geben. Das Ganze ist sein Geld nicht wert! Hands off! Nach Zerminhin und her , hieß es, die Tour würde abends starten. Dann wurde fürs Abholen im Hotel extra 40 € berechnet. Ein befreundetes Paar konnte noch mit, so dass wir insgesamt 490 € bezahlt haben. Wir wurden mit einem nicht covid gerechten Pkw pünktlich abgeholt und nach Mostar gefahren. Dort hatten wir im Touri-Abkoch-Laden ein 3 GängeMenü mit einem Liter Rotwein und 2 Flaschen Wasser. Antipasti als Vorspeise, hausgemachte Ravioli als 2. Gang und irgendwas Vertrocknetes mit einer Kugel Vanilleeis als Desert. Dann gab es 30 min. Folkloretanz und die Aufforderung später auch mit…”

“Chris was great! He messaged the night before to make sure no one had allergies. He knew the area well, as his family has lived there since the 1400s. He really tried to pay attention to things my friend and I were taking photos of to show us similar things. So much attention to detail. He really made it special.”

11.From Sliema or Bugibba: Gozo Heritage Day Pass

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 16 reviews · 7 hours · from $71

All-inclusive Gozo Heritage Day Pass from Sliema or Bugibba with ferry, hop-on-hop-off buses, and 7 heritage entries including Ġgantija.

“The boat trip over to Gozo was fine but when we tried to access the hop on bus (which was included in the price we paid) the woman on the bus refused us saying we booked through a third party therefore we could not get on the bus!!! We were left stranded at the ferry port!!! We then had to pay for a taxi to take us to to where the bus SHOULD have taken us! Not impressed to say the least. We felt ripped off and let down. (Cost was €120)”
