Traveler reviews
The experience
Valletta's streets are steep and narrow, which is why a Segway changes the pace. After a brief orientation and training session, you glide through the capital with a guide, passing St. George's Square, the 17th-century heart of the city, and the Pjazza Teatru Rjal, the theatre rebuilt by architect Renzo Piano after its destruction in World War II. You also pass St. John's Co-Cathedral, home to works by Caravaggio. The ride itself is the point: you move through the city without the fatigue of climbing, so you absorb the landmarks and the layout without stopping to catch your breath.
After the Segway portion, you head to The Malta Experience, a purpose-built panoramic auditorium where a 45-minute audiovisual show tells the story of the islands' survival and transformation across 7000 years. The show is educational and fast-paced, condensing centuries of conquest, resilience and cultural shifts into a single sitting. It is subject to availability and opening hours. If the show is not running on the day of your tour, you receive a free ticket to watch it another time during your stay.
The whole experience runs about two and a half hours. Groups stay small (a maximum of six people per booking), and the tour operates in all weather, so you dress for the conditions. Children must be at least 12 years old and accompanied by an adult. You need to weigh between 45 and 113 kilograms to ride.
Is this one for you?Book this tour if you're traveling with a small group and want to cover Valletta's main sights without the climb. The Segway handles the steep streets so you can focus on the landmarks and the city's layout. The audiovisual show works best if you want a quick, structured overview of Malta's history before exploring the islands on your own.
