5.00Angela was great. As a local she had a huge wealth of knowledge and her pace was perfect. We had done a knights museum visit but felt lost with names and dates. This was so much clearer and interesting
Lots of detail

4.00The guide Ernest was very knowledgeable. The tour takes in lots of the key sights. At 2hrs 30mins it’s great value, however it was too long for us.
Good tour to get a feel for the city.

5.00We had a great guide with good communication. We lost our way and were late by our taxi, however the guide kept calm and told us three times the directions. There was communication trough whatsapp and the office center. There was even someone who would come get us to not make us panick. All of all, a great service. Thank u so much!
Educational, Informative and Enjoyable

5.00Would highly recommend this tour. Weather was terrible but despite this our guide Angele took us through the city with plenty of information and stories. She gave great insight into Valletta throughout different periods of time and recommendations along the way. The ear piece and audio which was supplied was a fantastic addition. Highly recommend City of Malta Walking tours as a group-this was my second tour. As well as guides being very passionate and professional, communication outside viator is also very good..Thank you Marisa,Nadine and Angele for enhancing our trip to Malta
Must do!

4.00Good detailed description of where to meet, opposite Burger King, easy to spot the guide. Wednesday seemed a busy day in Valletta, so we we're constantly trying to avoid being in the way of the crowds. A great tour of the city and it's history, i use these tours the first morning i arrive to get my bearings of the city and maybe get some tips on restaurants etc. Half way round we get a comfort stop for those that need it. There's a lot of information given to us and i can't remember most of it so i booked the Malta Experience the following day which together made it all the more clearer.
Excellent your with knowledgeable guide.

5.00Marisa was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Gave us a really good introduction to the history of Malta and the various influences throughout the centuries. Took us to the main points of interest with some facts and legends on the way. The 2.5 hour tour passed very quickly. The tour group wasn't too big, but we had headphones to listen to Marisa, which meant no one missed anything. Would highly recommend.
Highly recommend
