Malta’s capital city, Valletta, was built by the Knights of St. John more than 400 years ago. It is a historic city, but also a living, working one, the administrative and commercial heart of the Islands. In the mornings the city is visited by thousands of people, Maltese and tourists alike, some on their way to work, others to shop or to learn more about its history. But what happens at night, when the shops and the offices close? This city has throughout the centuries witnessed death, murders, executions and plots. It is not surprising that there are many ghost stories told about Valletta, as it seems that there could still be some earthbound spirits attached to these historic places, still looking for eternal peace or vengeance. Join our Valletta Ghost Tour, to hear a selection of these stories as we walk through the dark and deserted streets of night-time Valletta, and perhaps experience something for yourself. Who knows who or what could be lurking just around the corner.

    One day in Valletta

    Matteo gave us a great tour of the city today and provided a lot of information on the history of Malta and Valletta. We only had one day off a cruise so this provided great coverage and interesting facts, aling with tips for those who had more days to explore. We want to visit Malta again to experience this beautiful place. Thanks Matteo.

    Haunted History of Valletta: A Journey Through Time

    An interesting tour that combines the highlights of ghost stories in Valletta enriched with historical aspects of the area. It is fascinating how every corner of Valletta is enriched in history spanning through the times, from the footprints of the Knights of Malta, to the British reign and the significant role during World War II, till today.

    A brilliant and unique Team Building event

    Historical, mind blowing and fun! We been talking about it for days after. Make sure to pack some water, wear comfortable shoes and maybe a small touch as some areas do get dark.

    Fun night roaming through Valletta's streets

    The ghost tour was very well-prepared and thought out. Matthew, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the subject as well as the history surrounding the different stories which he recounted. Not many events are happening during the pandemic and the way this walking tour was organised showed that safety was not compromised while still maintaining a high-quality delivery and execution. Overall a lot of fun was had by our little group and will definitely consider again!

    The Original Valletta Ghost Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.

    How much does The Original Valletta Ghost Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $21 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Valletta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Original Valletta Ghost Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Valletta is not rushed.

    Is The Original Valletta Ghost Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Valletta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Original Valletta Ghost Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The Original Valletta Ghost Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Original Valletta Ghost Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Valletta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Valletta and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Original Valletta Ghost Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Valletta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Valletta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Valletta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Valletta Food Tour, The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Valletta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Valletta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The Original Valletta Ghost Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional guide. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Original Valletta Ghost Tour?

    +

    The guide will be next to the Sette Giugno monument, next to HSBC. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Original Valletta Ghost Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
