You will be met at the port by a Cruising Excursions representative who will then guide you to your air conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.
This tour will start with a trip to Valletta, Malta’s capital city, for a guided tour through the bustling streets. This unique city built for gentlemen by gentlemen was built after the Great Siege of 1565 and named after the Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valletta.
In Valletta we will first stop at the Barrakka Gardens - built on the elevated bastion ramparts. These beautiful gardens commend stunning panoramic views of the Grand Harbour and the three cities.
During the tour will also visit St. John´s Cathedral – This splendid church was originally the conventual church of the Order of St. John. With its fine Baroque architecture, elaborate Grand Masters’ monuments and exclusive precious works of art including a Caravaggio this cathedral is not to be missed.
After the Cathedral, we continue our walking tour to see from the outside the Grand Masters Palace – this Magisterial Palace was the official and private residence of the Grand Master of the Order. Today the Palace is the splendid residence of the President of Malta. Continue to walking tour in Valletta.
Afterwards, we will head to the Southern part of the island in order to discover the historical area known as the Three Cities: Vittoriosa, Cospicua & Senglea. A drive past Cospicua will bring you to Vittoriosa where you shall walk through the various narrow streets shaded by many historic buildings and churches. From the old quay you will get the opportunity to take a typical ‘fregatina’ for a tour of the famous harbour creeks (subject to weather conditions – price of fregatina not included in price). We will also see the quay where super yachts are docked.
At the end of your tour you will be dropped off at the port to join your ship in plenty of time.
