Malta - Islands, Heritage and Coastline Wonders

Arrive at Malta International Airport where your private driver will be waiting to greet you. Enjoy a comfortable transfer to your centrally located hotel in Valletta, the island’s historic and elegant capital. After check-in, the rest of the day is free at leisure. You may choose to take a gentle stroll along the fortified bastions overlooking the Grand Harbour or wander through Valletta’s charming narrow streets lined with honey-coloured limestone buildings. Relax at a café in St George’s Square, sample Maltese pastries such as pastizzi, or simply unwind at your hotel after your journey. The evening is yours to enjoy at your own pace, easing into the rhythm of island life before the exploration begins tomorrow.

This morning, make your way to the New Parliament Building, just a short walk from your hotel, to meet your licensed guide for a delicious and immersive street-food and culture tour of Valletta. Beginning at 9:30 AM, your guide will introduce the city’s rich history as you walk through its grand avenues and quiet side streets, blending cultural insights with Malta’s beloved culinary traditions. As you explore Valletta’s iconic landmarks and hidden corners, you will sample some of the island’s most popular specialties. Taste warm pastizzi, savour ftira filled with local ingredients, try Malta’s famous rabbit dish, and refresh yourself with two classic Maltese drinks: Cisk lager and the bittersweet Kinnie soda. Along the way, your guide will point out traditional bars, local hotspots, and historical sites that bring Valletta’s unique heritage to life. This experience offers the perfect introduction to Maltese flavours and daily culture, combining storytelling, architecture, and delicious street food. The tour concludes in central Valletta, leaving you free to continue exploring the capital, revisit favourite tasting spots, or relax in one of the many charming squares.
