The Knights of St. John came to Malta in 1530 and stayed for 268 years, transforming the sleepy island into a flourishing capital coveted by the great powers of Europe. During this tour you will get a peek into their storied past with the help of your expert guide. Your excursion starts Vittoriosa where the Knights first settled; walk the narrow streets full of historical buildings including the early Auberges of the Knights, the Hospital, the Armory, the Treasury and Palaces connected with the Order's administration.
From there you will take a short ride around the harbor for a walking tour of Valletta.
