Loved this tour! It was called "On the Footsteps of the Knights. A private tour which was very expensive but not our guide's faut. Very interesting and fun too. Nadine was a fantastic guide and her english was perfect. Ask for Nadine Thanks very much Nadine!!
The guide who accompanied us on the tour, Nadine, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Truly one of the best tours we have participated in.
Our guide was prompt and professional and the group were friendly. She gave us earpieces so we could hear her and gave us. Great insight into the history of Malta and the city it was great
Definitely a worthwhile experience, barring the hot weather. Nadine was an excellent guide; she was so knowledgeable about her country and thoughtful about keeping us out of the sun as much as possible.
John was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and fun too! A fantastic insightful tour of the city, not too overwhelming despite the heat also. Highly recommend
We were very happy with this well planned, efficiency, clear voiced, informative guided tour. Thanks to Ernest!
We loved this tour. Our guide had great knowledge and was very entertaining. Knowing the history of Valetta makes you appreciate and understand the city so much better. I would say this is a holiday must.
Our guide, Angele, was superb. Very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. She was able to bring things to life with her own experiences of Valletta. Highly recommend this tour, excellent value for money.
Apart from a shaky start when I booked online ( as advised by a walking tour guide) and paid for a tour that I could not go on as it was already underway!) ( unintentionally as I was trying to find availability. The company did offer m the option of 2 other days or most of my money back but I did not get confirmation of that date so turned up feeling very unsure as to whether I was booked on or not. Angele was very good though and quickly reassured and welcomed me onto the tour with my husband. The tour itself was fascinating and Angele was very knowledgeable and was answering questions and giving us both pictorial and verbal details that brought the different eras of Malta alive. We now have a much better appreciation of Malta and when we walk around understand more of what we are seeing- thank you. Really would recommend the tour x
We did this on our first proper day in Malta to get orientated and learn about the country. It is a great town and the guide was very knowledgeable. I liked that she pointed out other things to do and places to go. I liked that she used a microphone and headphones so we could hear her but I think she needs a better muff to block the wind as that made it a bit crackly sometimes.
