5.00Great tour with Nadine, even in the pouring rain. She was very enthusiastic about her City, and provided us with a lot of information, both historical and local color. We arrived at the tour a bit late due to a mix-up on our side, and she was very gracious.to take care of us right away.

5.00The meeting point was Opposite A hamburger joint, but there was not one in sight, because of Christmas decoration. The walking tour was excellent, the guide was super. We learned so much. She had also arranged a welcoming stop at the toilets and cafeteria. A super experience!

5.00Fantastic walking tour with Angele, she has vast knowledge of the area, so much so she answered all my questions before I even asked them. She brought the past to life with historical photos of the area so you could see the developmentof Valletta. Angele also had illustrations so you could see the history of the area brought to life. The guide also added humanity and humour in the tour in just the right places. Would definitely recommend this tour
Excellent tour

5.00We met Mary outside the Parliament building, where she provided everyone with earpieces and amplifiers — a great touch that made it easy to hear her throughout the walk. The tour began with a fascinating overview of Malta’s history, and Mary shared plenty of fine details and stories that brought Valletta to life. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and could answer just about any question about the city. Our route started in front of Parliament, continued to Hastings Gardens, then through the back of the main street. We were meant to visit the St John’s Headquarters, but it was closed due to an electricity issue. From there, we explored the old theatre (formerly the opera house), the Bursa, the Barrakka Gardens, Muza, and finally Republic Square and the Grand Master’s Palace Square. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and informative tour — highly recommended!
Great tour
