5.00This was a very informative tour. I learned a lot about Valletta and Malta in general. Our guide, Andrea, was excellent. You could tell she was very experienced, and she shared a lot of knowledge with us. Plus she is a native Maltese, so it felt like a very authentic experience. Highly recommended!
