Fantastic guide who gave us the chance to learn about the island, was very knowledgeable. Plenty of stops to sample local goods and always supporting local places. Highly recommended.
This tour was fantastic. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of food and met some great people on the tour as well. Highly recommend!
A must for anyone visiting Valletta. I really can't recommend enough. Our lovely local guide was so enthusiastic and you could really feel her passion for the city. Food choices and locations were varied and all excellent. We got the history too ! Final rooftop location was the cherry on the cake. Make sure you go with an empty stomach and enjoy 😁
The group was small, Karl was knowledgeable and took us to some hidden gems in Valleta that are locally owned by Maltese families - we would definitely have walked passed these places if doing the tour ourselves! There was plenty of delicious food to try so go with an empty stomach.
We liked a lot about this experience. She knows about Malta and had many things to tell us. She was kind and good with people.
Really interesting tour, learning about some of Malta’s history and tasting the lovely food. Guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. Loads of food, you don’t need breakfast beforehand!
I really wish that this tour covered more about the food of Malta. We did have some taste testing. I expected a bit more than this. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. However I didn’t really need a history tour as well as that was something I did the previous day on a Malta walkibg tour. I would’ve preferred if there was more discussion on food and a good variety.
Great food tour! Our guide was amazing and we got so much history paired with amazing food. Would highly recommend if you enjoy learning and eating.
Excellent 2.5hr tour guiding the group around Valletta with frequent stops to taste local Vallettan and Maltese food and drink. Starting just outside the main city gate we were guided through both main thoroughfares and quieter streets to visit small local Vallettan run restaurants, coffee shop and hostelries to been given a truly delicious experience of the main delights of local food both savoury and sweet, and locally produced wine, beer and Kimmie to drink, with a midday stop at the Upper Barrakka Gardens to experience the firing of the noon gun. This is for anyone wishing to experience an interesting and different tour of Valletta.
My wife and I had a great time on this tour. The various food stops were good with an interesting variety of Maltese fare on offer. You definitely won't be hungry at the end. Karl was a great host and very knowledgeable about Malta and the history and sites of Valletta. We would definitely recommend this tour.
