Overview

This is a private tour which means that you will not be joined by any other people or groups. Hence, you can move at your own desired pace along with our licenced tour guide.

Your tour will take place in Valletta, starting off with a view of the majestic grand harbour to understand the main locations related to the great siege. It will be easy to notice and admire the fortifications built by the Knights to protect Malta’s residents.

As you walk along Valletta you will understand why this city is described as one huge open-air museum. Valletta is packed with sites of historical significance, so much so that it’s been an officially listed UNESCO World Heritage site since 1980.

You will also visit Fort St. Elmo. Built for war, the Knights at this fort managed to face and hold back the menacing Ottoman attacks. This dominating position now offers unobstructed panoramic views of the harbours and the surrounding towns and villages.

What To Expect

Valletta

The city of Valletta itself was built after the siege and takes its name from the Grand Master who managed to withstand the Ottoman force and win the siege. He was the one to place the first stone of Valletta. You will visit this same spot and stand on the same ground as La Valette and his courageous Knights.

Fort St Elmo - National War Museum

Constructed by the Order of St John in 1552, the star-shaped fort was built according to the cutting edge of fortress design. The fort played a crucial role in the eventful Great Siege of 1565 which saw the mighty forces of the Ottoman Empire and the Order of St John come head to head.

During the British rule, the fort was modified to accommodate the new requirements of war. Right on the day when Malta became involved in the conflict of World War II, on 11 June 1940, Fort St Elmo suffered the first aerial bombardment on the islands.
