This is a great walking tour to start off a trip to Valletta. We had Matthew as our guide and he was so informative and knowledgeable of the vast history of Malta. Although the tour was 1.5 hours it did not feel that long and thankfully there were no hills or steps included! I would highly recommend the tour.

In depth history of Valletta and the entire country. Our guide, Mario, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, thorough and approachable. If you could let him know, he highly suggested that we go into St. John’s church, but it was closed due to the holiday. We were walking by and miraculously it opened for a service so we were able to see the magnificent of the interior. Definitely lucked out. But, we would probably not have ventured in if it wasn’t for his strong suggestion that we do so.

Excellent and informative, Mario certainly knew his stuff. Took us to various historical places and clearly explained everything.

Matthew was great. Informative and helpful. We covered many interesting landmarks in Valletta. Useful to do the tour early in your visit so you can choose where to go back to.

Excellent tour, really enjoyed it so much history and Matthew did a great job to help understand it within the short tour we had with him.

We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide Mario was a former history teacher, so we learned a lot about history, culture, architecture and art. The tour covered a lot of ground, so get ready for a lot of walking!

This was an excellent tour, despite the rain, which we mostly managed to dodge. Alesa was very knowledgeable and gave a very enjoyable experience.
