Humour and history

5.00Giacomo brings history to life with his acting skills and impersonation of an historical sea captain. He uses humour to keep you enthralled with his stories enabling you to picture life as it must have been in medieval times. Plus you get to wander the streets of Malta and learn more about the town and its origins. We’re glad we did this at the beginning of our stay so now we can explore on our own with more idea of where to go and what to do. Highly recommend one of his tours. Plus Giacomo sends heaps of other useful information about the area too, which is really useful in planning the rest of our holiday. Thanks Giacomo!

5.00Giacomo was excellent guide. You could see hard work that he has done preparing this walk through Valletta. The tour was both educational, funny, based on facts and connected with places/buildings and historic events in today's town. Giacomo is also trying to get everyone involved in the story he is telling, and each member of the group on tour gets a small role participating. Great tour, and if you have time just for one tour make it this one😊

5.00Very interesting tour with an engaging guide/ adventurous Corsair. We learned many new things- the stuff that does not go into the history books we had at school! Giacomo is so passionate and knowledgeable about history, we look forwards to try his other tours on future visits.
Best tour in Malta!

5.00Really enjoyed this tour! The guide was great and told loads of wild stories about that I’d never heard before. It was interesting, funny, and the time flew by. Walking through the streets made it even better. Definitely worth doing if you want something a bit different from the usual tours.

History with a twist

5.00We were looking for something different/interesting but still with history mixed in and found this tour. We were not disappointed, in fact we were impressed. Our guide, always in character, weaved a tail of knights, pirates and ladies of the evening that brought the history of Valletta to life. Passion for the material and enthusiastic presentation made for a wonderful evening. Well worth it.
If you love history, laughter and a fun evening, you will LOVE this unique tour

5.00Short overview: 10/10 would recommend and do again. This is an in depth review! This tour was such a wonderful experience from begging to end. Starting with the most helpful messages from WhatsApp, with information on where to meet, and supplementary information for the tour. Our guide, Giacomo, helped a couple who was lost by phoning them and guiding them to the group. During the tour he was very engaging. You could participate, or just watch, he was very supportive of either choice. Giacomo was also a skilled actor, who wore a fun costume, and would tell history from the perspective of a specific person. It was a unique way to tell the story, and thoroughly enjoyed. The tour took you through some major points in Valletta’s history, and was very informative and fun. He was funny, and made history very interesting. 10/10 can’t recommend enough for a fun, informative evening!
