Great guide and lovely evening

Matt_G, Oct 2024

We had a very lovely time walking through each city. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all the sites. It was such a nice and unique experience to see each city lit up by evening lighting.

Overcrowded

Steven_D, Sept 2024

If you like 60 person group tours, slack communication and a tour done in 2 languages (which doubles the tour time) then this is for you.

Itinerary

  • Valletta

    We start by driving around Valletta where you can admire the majestic 16th century fortifications and bastions as they are beautifully lit up during the night, a truly captivating and unique sight.

  • Valletta Waterfront

    After our drive around Valletta’s bastions & fortifications, you will stop at The Valletta Waterfront, this gorgeous promenade located in the Grand Harbor area features nineteen beautifully restored 18th century warehouses, stretching along the water’s edge with a backdrop of historic bastions and fortifications. These gemstone buildings were originally constructed by Grandmaster Manuel Pinto da Fonseca during the late baroque period to be used as stores by the Knights of St. John. Today, ushering in a modern era, the iconic doors have been revived with an artistic impression of color, representing the storage of goods from the past, with blue for fish, green for produce, yellow for wheat and red for wine. The area comes alive at night, attracting locals and tourists alike to its heritage buildings which have been transformed into a variety of lively bars & restaurants. Some free time will be given during our visit to The Valletta Waterfront.

    1 hour
  • Rabat

    From here you will proceed to the west-central part of Malta to discover the village of Rabat.

    Rabat (a semitic word meaning “suburb”) was at one point a part of Mdina, before it evolved as a separate village. In Roman times the site of Mdina and Rabat was collectively known as Melita, during the Arab occupation of Malta, Melita was renamed to Mdina, and its area was reduced by moving the southern wall of the township; as a result, parts of Mdina became known as Rabat.

    Today this charming village still retains its own identity and is well established on the tourist map due to its archaeological and historical sites, such as: The Roman Villa (Domvs Romana), St. Paul’s Catacombs, St. Paul’s Grotto and its fine churches and monasteries.

    Here you will enjoy a walk in the older part of the village, along its narrow and winding streets, appreciating the charm and beauty of this unique village during the night, before we proceed towards Mdina.

    30 minutes
  • Mdina

    Mdina is truly an enchanting city! a stroll through its narrow streets, which have not changed much in the last 1,000 years, is a must for any visitor to Malta. It is undoubtedly one of Europe’s finest examples of an ancient walled/fortified city.

    Explore this historic city of timeless beauty during the night, when all the city’s landmarks, fortifications and bastions are beautifully illuminated, and all the quaint alleys and narrow streets are gracefully lit up by the old lanterns found at every twist and turn, giving the whole city an enchanting and captivating aura.

    Delve into the rich past of the city as you explore its medieval streets, take a journey back in time admiring the magnificent palazzos and churches in the city’s unique mix of medieval and baroque styles, as well as the spectacular panoramas from the high bastion walls from where you will be able to see almost half of the island sparkling beneath you, wrapped up in a dazzling and stunning nocturnal setting.
