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.
Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Even though we had problems finding the meeting point, he went out of his way to find us so we could join the tour.
Excellent tour guide who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and certainly loves her work promoting Malta and the history. Highly recommended.
Excellent tour, with a knowledgble and entertaining guide.
The guide was very friendly, thanks to him. The only problem is that he only speaks English, and there is no audio guide available as indicated on the website. Therefore, we did not fully benefit from the explanations.
Thank you for your review. The headsets are intended to help you hear the guide more clearly; they are not translation devices.

The tour was extremely informative, providing a fascinating insight into the city’s rich history, architecture, and culture. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Valletta, bringing the city’s stories and landmarks to life with interesting facts and anecdotes. The pace of the tour was comfortable, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take in the stunning surroundings. It was a fantastic way to explore Valletta and gain a deeper understanding of this beautiful historic city. We would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Malta – an enjoyable and worthwhile experience from start to finish.
Excellent tour. Our guide, Marissa was great - mixing history with everyday information about Valletta and Malta. We took this tour on our first morning and it really helped to orientate ourselves for our holiday,
A casual and very informative stroll through the amazing city of Valletta. I highly recommend it as the first thing to do on arrival. Our guide was very experienced, very knowledgeable and her voice so calm and relaxing. There were very few questions to her from the group as she told us all we needed. Value for money!
