2 hours and 15 minutes

Easy

Explore Valletta, one of UNESCO’s naughtiest World Heritage Cities, filled with captivating characters. Walk alongside a love-struck Captain through Valletta’s streets, where every Baroque building hides a secret and every tale could be your last!

Have fun as you live forgotten stories in Valletta's dark heart!  Uncover the original “Sin City” of the 17th century, where survival meant dodging jealous rivals, avoiding the Inquisition, and trying not to fall in love with the wrong person (good luck with that).

From maritime mischief to monastic mayhem and forbidden fancies you’ll see how history during the Knights' period has never been this scandalously entertaining!

Discover the shocking past of your favourite exotic delicacies and their unexpected relationship with Malta as you uncover the tricks of the trade used to escape poverty.

How will you rise through the ranks? Will you help your 17th-century guide reignite his woman’s love and stop giving him the cold shoulder? Are you ready to master the art of living fast, loving hard, and leaving a trail of chaos in your wake?

Meet courtesans who ruled hearts and emptied pockets as you embark on your wildest ride this side of the Mediterranean. You’ll quickly learn that the only thing deadlier than the gossip is the company you keep!

Don’t miss this interactive and immersive one-of-a-kind experience. Explore streets filled with nautical naughtiness while admiring the rich architecture of Valletta’s top Baroque landmarks.
