A great way to find out about the history of Valletta with a very knowledgeable guide. We had already had a wander through Valletta before going on the tour but this really brought the places to life and gave us lots of information about them.

Excellent tour of Valletta, Malta. The tour guide was very pleasant, informative and had a incredible knowledge of the history of Valletta and the country of Malta. The tour is well worth the almost three hours.

Our group of six thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Carmelo, was very good and provided a great deal of information that was well paced. The itinerary for this tour was great - providing an excellent overview of Valletta that inspired interest in diving deeper into specific sites later in our trip. Carmelo also provided us with a great pro tip concerning online tickets for St John’s Co-Cathedral, which saved us considerable time when we went to visit the church the following day. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Malta for the first time.
