5.Valletta Half-Day Guided Tour with Optional Cathedral Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 58 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $45

Review of Valletta’s half-day guided tour, with Upper Barrakka views, St. John’s Co-Cathedral, Malta Experience, and hotel transfers.

“This tour description said a ‘traditional harbour boat’ was included and the reason we booked this particular tour. There was no harbour boat ride and the guide didn’t know anything about it. Very disappointing!!!! We contacted Viator for a partial refund but this was refused even though the details of the tour were not met. Not good enough Viator!!!! Having said this the tour guide Maria was very very good. Very knowledgeable about the history of Valletta, had a friendly manner and was interesting to listen to. Really disappointing we did not get the tour we had actually booked!”
