5.00The food tour around Valletta was great, a really good way to get to know some history and culture of Malta whilst also be able to sample some interesting Maltese specialities…even if they were not all our favourite flavours, Maltese coffee is an acquired taste! Our guide Mathew is a Maltese National who is clearly very proud of his country and was very informative and approachable throughout. As a former soldier with the British Army he had an excellent rapport with the group and delivered a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours. The actual walking is not taxing physically and there are plenty of stop offs along the way. My only major piece of advice for others who book this tour is don’t eat too much breakfast at your hotel beforehand (tricky, I know!)
Delicious food!

5.00Our tour guide, Carmel, was excellent. He regalled us with food information about Malta along with historical information. The food we sampled was all delicious - you definitely don't need breakfast! The walking pace was just right and, considering that Valletta is so hilly, relatively flat. The tour finishes with a sit down food tasting of 'street food' which is a lovely opportunity to chat with your guide and others on the tour.
Fun way to learn about Malta

5.00A fun tour around the city where we tasted several local foods while learning how the history of Malta has been shaped by food. It ended up with a meal at a local restaurant. Be aware, the meeting point near the Parliament building is where several tours start, so you need to check that you are with the correct group. Matthew was very knowledgeable and it was an enjoyable tour.

4.00Pleasant. Good mix of walking, street food stall, sit down with info and tasting. The ending stop, a restaurant was different than listed,much farther and at the bottom of a steep hill, creating difficulty for me to reach my next commitment.

5.00A really enjoyable food tour of Valletta. Matthew was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who shared some great local spots we wouldn't have found on our own. We tasted pastizzi, ftajjar, kwarezimal, traditional Maltese coffee, and chocolate with flavours infused with notable Maltese products. We finished the tour with a variety of dishes at a restaurant, including arancini, timpana, and imqaret. Good variety and generous portions; the tastings were easily enough to replace both breakfast and lunch. Recommended!
