Discover the titillating truth about the naughty knights of the Order of St John and the people they ruled over.
This tour begins next to The Malta Experience on the tip of Valletta, taking in the back streets of this charming city - and its saucy past.
Please note: Adult themes of a sexual nature are discussed throughout, so a minimum age of 16 is required.
You'll discover stories of the sex lives of these rich, bored knights and hear the antics of the former prostitutes who became rich nuns but then sometimes failed to leave bad habits behind.
Hear of the female pharmacist who used witchcraft to seduce rich men and who had slaves hung upside down and tortured.
Learn the instructions given to prostitutes by the authorities in the 17th and 18th centuries, and how the knights would bend their own rules to bed women.
The tour will finish in St George’s Square in front of the Grand Master’s Palace, where you’ll learn why a stone column in the square once showed a wolf having a poo.

Naughty Knight Stories… so much fun for our hen do!

5.00I organised a hen do in Malta for a close friend and wanted an activity that was both fun and a great way to explore the island. Finding Mario felt like hitting the jackpot! We joined the Scandal and DisOrder walking tour and it was fantastic. Not only did we get to explore the beautiful streets of Valletta on foot, but we also learned so much while laughing at Mario’s engaging and entertaining stories. The tour lasted about two hours and flew by. The tour was in English, and Mario spoke very clearly, which made it easy to follow even for those of us who aren’t native English speakers. We were a group of 12, and he handled everything effortlessly. The price was very reasonable, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Malta.
Highly recommended
