5.00We booked this tour at the Beginning of our trip, and were glad we did. Our friendly guide was very knowledgeable about Malta’s history and we learned a lot. This was helpful when visiting other places as we already had a good understanding of Malta’s history. I highly recommend this tour. Take water and a hat if you are going in the summer months as you will be on your feet and in the sunshine for 2 hours.
Great guide

5.00Such amazing and informative tours. Had the pleasure to join a tour around Valletta and another one called ‘The Dark Side of the Knight’. Jeremy, our guide, was very knowledgeable and made the tours really fun and interesting. Definitely not the typical ‘boring’ tours.
