Schandaal en wanorde : Dark Knights in Valletta - Wandeltocht
Beschrijving
Ontdek de prikkelende waarheid over de ondeugende ridders van de Orde van Sint Jan en de mensen waarover ze heersten. Deze tour begint naast The Malta Experience op het puntje van Valletta, en neemt je mee door de achterstraatjes van deze charmante stad - en haar pittige verleden. Let op : thema's van seksuele aard voor volwassenen worden overal besproken, dus een minimumleeftijd van 16 jaar is vereist. Je ontdekt verhalen over het seksleven van deze rijke, verveelde ridders en hoort de capriolen van de voormalige prostituees die rijke nonnen werden, maar er soms niet in slaagden slechte gewoontes achter zich te laten. Hoor over de vrouwelijke apotheker die hekserij gebruikte om rijke mannen te verleiden en die slaven ondersteboven liet hangen en martelen. Leer de instructies die de autoriteiten in de 17e en 18e eeuw aan prostituees gaven en hoe de ridders hun eigen regels zouden buigen voor bedvrouwen. De tour eindigt op het St George's Square voor het Grand Master's Palace, waar je leert waarom een stenen kolom op het plein ooit een wolf toonde die een poep had.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed my stories from Malta's strange but fascinating past 👍🏼
Interesting tour. Guide was very knowledgable and we learnt of different historic stories that are not well known in Malta! Highly recommended.
Thanks for coming and I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed hearing about scandals from Malta's dark but fascinating past 🖤
Super easy to follow, beautiful scenery and entertaining stories the entire duration!
The back streets of Valletta are gritty but beautiful aren't they? I love guiding there and thank you for coming along for this tour.
It was very entertaining and informative
Glad you enjoyed the tour, thank you for coming for a walk on the scandalous side of life 😈
The tour full of history and humor with Mario. Tails and facts on people and happenings you would never discover yourself. Though the group was large, you were able hear the story. I highly recommend if you want to experience a different kind of tour.
Thanks for coming on this scandalous tour! Happy to hear that you enjoyed these stories of naughty knights and nuns - along with the bad-boy priests!
Ohhh Myyyy the NUNS lol - Scandal and disorder Wowww – A Must-Do! If you’re looking for your average, dry historical walking tour, look elsewhere. But if you want a deep dive into the soul of Valletta, this is the one. What an Experience , we spent two hours wandering through the stunning, atmospheric streets of the capital. While Valletta is famous for its hills, the route chosen was surprisingly easy on the joints. It’s a comfortable pace that allows you to actually soak in the surroundings rather than just catching your breath. The real highlight was our Master Storyteller. It’s rare to find someone who balances deep intellect with such an engaging, charismatic delivery. He didn't just rattle off dates; he brought the stones of the city to life. It was clear he has an immense wealth of knowledge, but he shares it with a wit and charm that keeps you hanging on every word. The "Naughty" Side of History is what truly set this tour apart. Usually, Maltese history is presented in a very sanitized, buttoned-up way. This tour pulls back the curtain on the scandals, secrets, and intrigue that you won’t find in the standard guidebooks. Discovering the hidden, slightly scandalous side of Valletta made the whole experience much more intriguing and memorable. My Final Verdict: An absolute 5-star experience. If you want to see the "real" Valletta through the eyes of a brilliant storyteller, don't miss out!
That's such a lovely review, thanks very much! You really understood what the tour was about and I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the experience this much. Hope to see you on the dark side of life again sometime 💀
I organised a hen do in Malta for a close friend and wanted an activity that was both fun and a great way to explore the island. Finding Mario felt like hitting the jackpot! We joined the Scandal and DisOrder walking tour and it was fantastic. Not only did we get to explore the beautiful streets of Valletta on foot, but we also learned so much while laughing at Mario’s engaging and entertaining stories. The tour lasted about two hours and flew by. The tour was in English, and Mario spoke very clearly, which made it easy to follow even for those of us who aren’t native English speakers. We were a group of 12, and he handled everything effortlessly. The price was very reasonable, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Malta.
Am so glad you all enjoyed the tour, Martina! You all brought great energy and it was lovely that the bride wanted to take a dark tour for her hen party. Wishing you all fantastic time when the big day arrives - and thanks again for taking a walk on the dark side of life in Malta 🖤
Amazing and entertaining tour of Valletta!!! This tour puts you back into an era and what it was to live in Valletta a few centuries ago.
Thank you for coming! Am happy that you enjoyed our time in the dark shadows of beautiful Valletta
