Douglas was a great guide. Funny and knew his facts. very approachable and great communication manner. Was very thoughtful about the very hot conditions and where possible kept to the shade, explaining where possible in the shade. Duration and break timing about right. Would recommend the trip
Douglas the guide was excellent and would definitely recommend
This was a great trip. Douglas was a great tour guide. Patient with us as we were running late. Their office called and stayed on the phone to direct us to him. Amazing interaction with all age groups. Great history of Malta.
The experience was so fulfilling and eventful. We learned so much about the different landmarks. There were no additional fees for anything as you do not go into the Co-Cathedral but you go outside of it. Matthew was amazing and so knowledgeable! Thank you for a great experience
Thank you for your kind review! We are glad you enjoyed your tour with Matthew. Hope to see you on one of our other tours.
Great experience with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Even if the dead of heat in August - the guide made every effort to find a shaded location before continuing with his stories and the history of each local sight. Overall would highly recommend to anyone interested in the local history from a knowledgeable guide

George our guide was excellent and was very engaging and enthusiastic. Even during the heat of 36 degrees kept us entertained and guided us on other sites to see.

The whole morning was wonderful. Julia was so passionate and knowledgeable about the city and kept the tour very interesting, with great suggestions of places to visit and information about the island in general. She was very considerate of everyone and walked in shaded areas as much as possible to avoid the direct sun. Three hours flew by!

Julia was a great guide and had a wealth of knowledge of the history of Malta. There is a LOT of walking and it is HOT in the summer so bring water and wear comfy shoes. Group size was okay, some people can monopolize the Q&A so perhaps a smaller group would provide a more intimate experience.
Thank you for your kind review! We will take your suggestion into consideration :) Glad you enjoyed your tour with Giulia.
Excellent tour with characterful Scottish/Maltese Douglas very informative and funny little antidotes along the way. Highly recommended for all ages thank you, just the right length of tour ❤️
