Standing on the Upper Barrakka Gardens, the Grand Harbour stretches below like a restless blue audience, boats weaving through light and shadow as the breeze dares you to follow. Over four days this private tour moves at a measured pace: morning walks through Valletta's baroque streets, a short boat run into the Blue Grotto's glassy caverns, then a ferry across to Gozo where limestone cliffs and hidden bays take over.
