We were on a cruise making a stop at Malta. Since it was my first time, so I thought a walking tour to explore Valletta ( where we disembarked ) would be a good way to know the city. From the research before the trip, I only knew there were 2 Caravaggio in St John's CoCathedral but that is it. Thanks to our guide Lydia , she is very knowledgeable and told me about history of Malta, establishment of Valletta and othe interesting stories about the country as well as the city. She also gave me some inspiration where I should visit if I came to see other plaves of Malta next time. I fell in love with Malta. I am already planning to come in near future
