Douglas the guide was a trainee but very very informative. Absolutely love this walking tour. Just a shame it doesn’t include inside entry into some of the place we visit. Eg. St. John’s cathedral and the Grand Masters rooms. Happy yo pay extra. It saves me from going back to Valetta
Douglas was fantastic. He was very entertaining, informative, and knowledgeable. We had family member with a hip injury and Douglas was very thoughtful and patient on making sure we moved at a comfortable pace. We would highly recommend using Douglas and this service.
Thank you for your review and recommendation! We are glad that you enjoyed your tour with Douglas.
Douglas is an amazing storyteller and tour guide! I learned many fun facts about Malta and really appreciated how he tried to make us as comfortable as possible in the heat.
Glad that you enjoyed your Valletta walking tour with Douglas and thank you for your kind review :)

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our guide, Giulia, for the wonderful experience she provided during our tour of Valletta on June 16. Giulia was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about Malta’s history and culture. She shared fascinating information in a clear and engaging way, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. Her enthusiasm, friendliness, and willingness to answer every question created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the visit. Thanks to Giulia, we were able to discover the beauty, history, and unique charm of Valletta in a memorable way. Her dedication and positive energy made this tour one of the highlights of our stay in Malta. Thank you, Giulia, for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend your tours to anyone visiting Valletta!
Mario was a fantastic tour guide for my mom, sister and me. He was a wealth of information and past school teacher which enabled him to answer any question and cover all of Maltese history in a digestible way. As a citizen of Malta, he also gave a glimpse into their politics and way of life that gave even more depth to the tour. I would recommend Mario to anyone who wants to learn about Valletta ground up. This was well worth investing in a private tour.
Very interesting and informative. Recommended!
Carmel was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, fun, and explained things very well. I would highly recommend!
