What we expect
Given its strategically important location as a gateway into southern Europe, it is not surprising that Malta has been continually fought over throughout the centuries. Learn of the island's tumultuous history on this intriguing full day tour.
Kick off in Birgu, where you'll explore the medieval fortifications and the air raid shelters from the Second Great Siege of Malta. Next. Head to Valletta's Upper Barakka Gardens to watch the Saluting Battery's cannons mark midday. Then it's time for a stroll through the old town, passing the palace used by Napoleon, the Victory Kitchen, Queen Victoria's statue and the bombed-out ruins of...

Name of tour could lead to confusion. I booked as 'British History' but was referred to be coach driver and others as 'WW2'. Excellent tour guide. And the Air Raid Shelter museum guide was outstanding

Tour guide was very good an knowledgeable as was the guide in the shelter. More time was needed in the war museum in Valletta, too long was allocated for “own time” rather than experiencing what we’d paid for. Coach on the way was great then on the return they packed us all on a minibus in 40 degree heat. Not good.

Pick up site ha to be made more definite as confusion is caused by where the bus collects tourists from.

The coach from the hotel was old & seemed badly maintained. 2 red lights flashing on dash continually, then an Orange light came on at the top of a hill at which time the driver stopped the coach & continually revved up engine until light went off then carried on down the hill. When picking up other passengers the door would not work & the driver had to use force to open it( kicking it). Luckily the coach was changed after the first stop. The guide was excellent

The tut was very good Didn’t realise how busy Malta’s roads were so had various vehicle changes which got us to and from where we needed to be but was a little confusing and worrying at first

We enjoyed the trip very much. Only drawback was two couples with mobility issues clearly could not utilise the whole tour. Even though your recommendation to avoid this tour if you had mobility problems. Ie the war shelter

Guide very knowledgeable. Saw lots of key historical & tourist hot spots. Full day, so can get tiring. Only one 45 minute stop for lunch all day. Lots of walking and steps so maybe challenging for those less mobile.

The guide was knowledgeable and engaging. The trip to the shelters was excellent and the guide there provided an emotional insight into life in Malta during the war

A very interesting and informative tour, however, the half an hour break for lunch was not long enough especially on such a long hot day.
