About this tour
This session looks out over the Grand Harbour as the light fades, from a viewpoint above the water with the Three Cities visible on the far side. You see the harbour change colour as evening sets in and boats moving across it. The camera stays on the public viewpoint throughout.
I hold on the view as the light changes, pointing out landmarks across the harbour as they light up, and take questions throughout. I send a short note afterwards on the Three Cities opposite.
It suits anyone who wants a calmer, more scenic session to end the day. It also pairs well with the Waterfront session earlier in the day.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
