Stories of Malta – 4 Days Tour

This Grand Harbour Tour of Valletta and Vittoriosa offers a fantastic excursion around Malta’s historic Grand Harbour. This natural port features many picturesque creeks and imposing fortifications. During the tour, you’ll have the chance to capture incredible photos and enjoy stunning views of Valletta and the Three Cities from sea level as you embark on a short cruise aboard a traditional Maltese ‘Dghajsa’ boat.

First, we’ll stop in the city of Vittoriosa, also known as Birgu, to glimpse into Malta’s rich maritime history. Birgu can rightly claim to be the cradle of Maltese history. We’ll then continue on to Valletta, the capital city of Malta. This living testament to Baroque architecture was built nearly five centuries ago by the Knights of St. John. Over the centuries, Valletta has welcomed emperors, heads of state, artists and poets, and is now the permanent seat of the Maltese government.

Dotted with charming cafés and wine bars, this UNESCO World Heritage city is one of Malta’s top tourist attractions today. Valletta boasts a treasure trove of palaces, auberges, churches, cathedrals, imposing bastions, and priceless paintings. It also provides a stunning panoramic view of Malta’s magnificent Grand Harbour, often described as the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.

Mdina and Rabat, two enchanting Maltese towns, are steeped in history, culture, and architectural marvels. The Mdina Walking Tour promises an immersive experience, allowing visitors to explore Malta’s rich past while admiring its present-day beauty.

As the sun casts a golden glow over the ancient walls of Mdina, often called the “Silent City,” visitors are transported back in time to a medieval fortress shrouded in myth and legend. The tour begins at the imposing Mdina Gate, where the ancient stone archway ushers travelers into the heart of this historic gem. From there, the cobbled streets wind through narrow alleys flanked by centuries-old limestone buildings, each with its own captivating story.

Leaving Mdina behind, the tour ventures into the neighboring town of Rabat, a bustling hub of activity and culture. Rabat, meaning “suburb” in Arabic, is home to a wealth of historical landmarks and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. At the end of the tour, you will enjoy a wine tasting in a nearby winery, surrounded by the wonderful countryside views.
