Overview of your Valletta tour:

If you love gardens, tranquil surroundings and stunning views, this half-day excursion is for you! You will be transported back in time as we will visit beautiful gardens and il-Buskett, the largest woodland area on the Maltese islands. This tour blends beautiful scenery with history as the palaces and gardens hark back to the period of the Knights of St John who used these areas for recreation and game hunting. From Buskett and the nearby Verdala Palace to the San Anton Gardens and the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, it is impossible to miss the legacy of the Knights of St John in Malta. . . these palatial gardens are testament to this! While the Verdala Palace is the official summer residence of the President of Malta, San Anton Palace is the winter residence - it's not uncommon for the President to stop and speak to tourists and guests visiting San Anton Gardens! Also included in the itinerary is a visit to the 18th century Palazzo Parisio, one of Malta's most spectacular private palaces.
