Valletta: Segway Tour & Malta Experience Show Ticket

Summary

Glide Valletta’s lanes by Segway then dive into Malta’s story

You’ll roll through Valletta’s winding streets by Segway with a local guide who makes history feel alive, pause at St John’s Co-Cathedral for stories of Caravaggio, and finish with The Malta Experience show—tickets included—where 7000 years of Malta’s struggles and victories come to life on screen. You might leave with a few scuffs or laughs but also a new way of seeing the city.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I nearly bailed when I saw the Segways lined up outside the old city walls of Valletta. I’m not exactly graceful on wheels. But our guide, Mark, just grinned and said, “Don’t worry, everyone looks silly for the first five minutes.” He wasn’t wrong. There was a moment where my Segway tried to hug a lamppost (sorry, Mark), but after that it felt weirdly natural gliding over those sun-warmed stones with the sea air in my face. The city sounds are different from up there — more bells, less chatter somehow.

We zipped through narrow lanes past St George’s Square, where some kids were kicking a ball against the stone. Mark pointed out where the British flag once flew during WWII — he had this way of mixing little jokes with real history, so it didn’t feel like a school trip. Rolling past Pjazza Teatru Rjal, you could still see marks from old bombings if you looked close enough. At St. John’s Co-Cathedral (I never get used to how gold everything looks inside), he told us about Caravaggio hiding out here — I’d heard that before but never with so much color.

The last part was The Malta Experience show down by the water. Our tickets worked for any time slot that day (which was good because we were sweaty and needed a snack first). The theater itself smelled faintly of salt and popcorn. The film was actually better than I expected — fast-moving and not too heavy-handed about Malta’s 7000 years of drama. There was this one bit about sieges that made me glance at the old walls outside differently as we left.

I still think about that odd mix of nerves and freedom from riding through Valletta on two wheels — you see more when you’re not behind glass, you know? If you’re even half curious about Maltese history or just want to try something new (and maybe laugh at yourself), this day trip is worth it.
