This is a tour for your...

5.00This is a tour for your group only. We met our guide, Aldo, and began our leisurely walk through the three cities. He gave us all of the history of each area, pointed out the historical and significant points along the way. The depth of his knowledge and his ability to share the facts in an entertaining way is a blessing. The three cities are much less traveled and a lot quieter than Valletta. They are definitely worth the time it takes to explore them. St. Angelo' fort was a good stop as well. At the end of the tour, we rode across the harbor in one of the traditional Maltese boats, at Aldo's suggestion. It was a great way to get back to Valletta and see it from the water. Anyone taking this tour with Aldo will have a great day!

5.00We enjoyed our tour of Birgu. Our guide was very comprehensive about the history of the area and did a great job explaining the time pre and post the Knights of Malta. We spent all the time walking through Birgu but the tour was inclusive of information for the entire area. It was a good way to start our 3 days in Malta to better understand the island over the few days spent in the area.

5.00Our guide, Mariella, was fantastic. She was informative, interesting and nothing was too much trouble for her. This is our first trip to Malta and she set us up for the remainder of our trip, transport options, sightseeing options. Just a perfect job all round and we would not hesitate to recommend her.

5.00Our wonderful tour guide Mariella took us on a brilliant walking tour through the 3 cities. Her live of history becomes obvious as she explains the timeline of the cities from the past to the present. She also pointed out which of the places (eg, Fort St Angelo, Maritime Museum, Inquisitors Palace) we might want to visit afterwards and pointed us in the right direction to get either a small boat or the ferry back to Valletta. Mariella, thank you so much for the perfect walk around your 3 cities 😊 Nick and Laura
