What To Expect
Valletta
Do you want to know everything about the Maltese capital? this is your tour. Valletta is the smallest capital city in the European Union (it does not exceed 6,000 inhabitants), it is impossible to resist its charms. Valletta's history is one of the richest in the Mediterranean. Why was it one of the most coveted cities in history? From the Ottoman Empire, the Knights, Napoleon, the British, the Third Reich, ... I will show you the origins of the city and this emblematic nucleus named European Capital of Culture 2018. We will explore the alleys where the painter Caravaggio escaped from justice, in addition to the historical buildings from the beginning of the 16th century. What is a tour without food? Maltese gastronomy, as much as Valletta retains many memories of its British past (such as the red telephone or its official co-language), has always been influenced by Italian food, during the tour I will take you to taste the famous Pastizzi or where to eat a good pizza with your fellows or have a cocktail with jazz something that became fashionable during the dolce vita. At the end of our free tour, you will feel like a local in Valletta, you will already find sense and also where to try the best Maltese dishes. Follow us on Instagram @mortourguides

1.00It was cancelled the same morning, we had moved to the meeting point for nothing. We could have planned another field trip. Almost lost day.

5.00Very knowledgeable guide, Louis, we really liked his explanations. Very happy to answer all our questions. Thanks
Not worth the money, misleading and did not cover gastronomy and art; also only very basic history. Very disappointing.

2.00Although the tour guide was affable, the tour itself was disappointing as it did NOT cover any gastronomy or art and the level of history covered was very basic. This poor quality tour was NOT worth the money; what was covered could have been accessed via other simpler walking tours for less money. The information provided to accompany the tour schedule was incorrect and misleading. The tour was supposed to commence at 11.00AM and complete at 5.00PM; the guide was late by 15 minutes and the total tour lasted barely 2.5 hours. The tour guide took photos, which he proposed to send to the tour members via WhatsApp. We are still waiting!
Luis, our guide made this tour 5 star

5.00Something has to be said about getting a locals point of view from such a wonderful place. Our guide Luis was fantastic, brought us to the "must see attractions" but also gave us a glimpse of the normal life Valletta. The views were just amazing and the history is so fascinating. Easy to find Luis and a great time with him. Fantastic young man with a great passion for his adopted city.
Fantastic tour!

5.00Our tour was a great mix of ‘tourist area’ as well as areas mostly frequented by locals. Moises was a wonderful, warm guide. Fantastic energy, very knowledgeable. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We couldn’t ask for anything better than what we received. Mark Conway

1.00The tour has not happened. While we've been waiting at the meeting point, some people came to check the license of the tour guide and said it is not valid so she can't do the tour. Such a disappointment.
