What to expect

Join this half-day sightseeing tour and step back through the mists of time as you're taken to the fortified cities of Cottonera which are widely known as the Three Cities, these being Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea, built and fortified by the Knights of Malta.

The morning starts with an informative drive through Cospicua followed by a visit to Vittoriosa where you navigate the narrow streets and mysterious alleyways shaded by many historic palaces and churches.

Then proceed to the old quay where you'll take a cruise on a fregatina, a traditional Maltese boat, for a tour of the famous harbour creeks. This is a truly unique way to view the impressive bastions and fortifications that dominate the port.

Finally, you'll be driven to Senglea where you can enjoy the view from the vedette conveniently situated in the centre of the Grand Harbour before your tour comes to an end.
