WW2 excursion
A really interesting excursion. The air raid shelter guide was a bit intense but really good. The main tour guide was excellent. Just watch the heat and take plenty of water.

Little History and Bad Service on the History Tour
The tour did NOT pick us up at the hotel after saying they would. In addition, the history and information provided on the tour were not great. If one cares about World War II history, out of seven hours, only about one was informative.

Waste of moneu
Despite several e mails informing us that we would be picked up at our hotel at 9 am the night before a new e mail was sent which went into junk mail informing us to be at a new location at an earlier time. After calling we had to take a taxi to the war museum. The war museum had its own guide. We went to see the statue of Churchill. Big waste of money. You can do this yourself as the bus service and guide are useless.

Excellent informative history tour.
Excellent guide. I think his name was Michael. Apologies for not being certain. He absolutely made our day. He recollected memories from his childhood in Malta, especially of the uncertainty around independence. He was very entertaining with a dry wit. The tour went first to the war museum in Vittoriosa. It was so interesting. You have to wear hard hats to descend into the tunnels built to shelter from the bombing. Truly a horrifying prospect. Some of the tunnels are low and narrow…not really suitable for anyone with back issues or walking difficulties. There are steps and places you have to stoop for a distance. Excellent tour in the tunnels from possibly Trevor, names not my strong point! There is a lot to see if you aren’t able to manage the tunnels. We then were taken to the lift which for a small fee takes you up to the Barraka Gardens. This was a slight deviation to facilitate a client who was struggling a little with walking. We arrived in good time for the midday gun. We then would our way through the streets with various stops to hear about significant buildings or events. We then had a little free time to grab a light lunch. After regrouping we walked down through the city to the huge sight that is Fort St Elmo, the National War Museum where the original George cross is displayed. We walked around this site without Michaela’s you could then choose what interested you. The return transport collected the group at 3.30pm. A very, very interesting excursion if you like history. Thank you Michael for your humour and thoughtfulness.

Beware of dropdown options when booking
Very disappointed to miss out on this tour through no fault of our own. We selected our hotel from the dropdown menu at the time of booking and received numerous emails all confirming this. On the morning of the trip we waited 45 minutes before contacting the tour company. They informed us that they did not pick up from our hotel and the tour had already begun. She offered us a refund which we accepted but our planned day was then ruined.

Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.
How much does Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $71 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 Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 40 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 Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War 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 Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War Tour?
+
Around 14 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vittoriosa and Valletta Full Day Second World War 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 The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group, Valletta City Walking Tour. 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.
