Valletta and the Three Cities from the water on a modern catamaran with live commentary, free Wi-Fi, and a possible Esplora stop.

“...we went on a trip with several school classes. It was so loud that you could not understand a single word of the audioguide. Maybe it makes more sense for school classes to have a trip more for them / more suitable for children? Or someone from the crew could have said something to calm the children down or ask the teachers to ask the children to be quiet enough for everyone to understand something? It was just very stressfull and loud. I am sorry for not being able to say anything else.”

8.Three Cities guided tour including harbour boat tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 91 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $46

Three Cities walk plus a traditional dghajsa harbor cruise from Valletta, with hotel pickup and Senglea lookout views in 4 hours.

“Confusion over meeting point (given multiple changes) so had to contact provider. Large group (40) limited motorbility of some slowed the group. Motorised boat trip was an 'add on' with an uncommunicative boatman. Information no provided regarding end of tour arrangements. Met up with other groups where chaotic allocation was made for minibuses to various hotels. Had we been told this whilst down in cin the harbour we wouldn't have climbed up to the buses, we came back down to walk back to Birgu rather than wait for a disorganised lift.”
