5.00Angela was very knowledgeable about the history of Valletta & had a series of interesting photos of the city through time. 2.5 hours easy walking. On feet for large part of time but Angela identified seat resting spots & toilet break for those that needed. We saw all the main sites/places of interest & a couple off the beaten track. Would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00Comprehensive, informative and extensive 2,5 hrs walking tour with great presentation from Nadine. 15 minute break given mid-tour to use the bathrooms was especially appreciated for those of us of a certain age. There are a couple of areas requiring walking up steps which may challenge the less mobile but nothing too difficult. Our walk was really enjoyable spoiled only by an ignorant group who complained Nadine was giving us too much information and not walking enough. They were clearly not interested from the start so I have no idea why they bothered signing up in the first place. Fortunately they dropped out after making an un-called for remark and left the rest of us to enjoy the tour without them. Nadine handled it all exceptionally well.

1.00I research my tours and this one let me down big style. All standing listening to a historical talk with a presentation folder of pictures. I wanted to see Valletta and take photos of the sights en route. We left the tour after 50 mins. We had literally walked four sides of a square and seen nothing of valetta all talking no walking or sightseeing. Walked up steps seen the harbour over a wall, was told about the ditch and growing carrots, stopped on two corner ends back to where tour started. The most boring tour I have ever booked on Viator ever! Sat in the coffee shop now and the tour still has over an hour to go. Everyone was bored to tears but we were the only 3 with gumption to cut our loses and leave. A 2.5 hour WALKING tour with no walking, all talking. Terrible. Seen our tour guide from yesterday swooping past with her tour, while we all stood bored. Downloaded a self guided tour and seen more in the last 20 mins. Misadvertised as a walking sight seeing tour. I book Viator trips every where we go and this one is the first disappointment. I told the guide too much talking not enough walking or seeing and she just let us go no apology nothing
Amazing guided tour in Valletta

4.00Great way to get an overview of Valletta. Very knowledgeable guide. We also liked having headsets so we could hear the guide even when not right next to her. Just wish there had been more personal interaction between the guide and the group for questions etc. It was very business-like with tons of historical info but not many funny anecdotes or personality. But would still recommend for an informative tour.
Great Valetta walking tour!
