Amazing food, and a great tour guide with an excellent knowledge of Malta. Well worth going on this tour to understand the people of Malta

Jane_M, Oct 2024

Great experience! Only recommendation is to start a little later, too close to breakfast. Very knowledgeable guide with interesting details about Malta’s history.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found the guide knowledgeable. We always recommend skipping breakfast before the tour for a more comfortable experience, but we'll consider your suggestion about the timing. Hope to see you again soon!

Great value for money

Joanna_F, Sep 2024

This is an excellent tour with interesting historical information from the guide and some great snack food that we wouldn't necessarily have tried otherwise. There was more food than we expected so don't have a big breakfast ☺️

History and food in one tour

Barry_B, May 2024

Our guide was Mathew. He was very good. A great balance of history and local food. We love food tours for this reason. Two things for the price of one. Valletta is compact and easy to walk around and in the three hours of the tour we got an appreciation of it all.

Danielle did a marvelous job escorting her group all through Valletta. She was clear, organized and punctual. We had gone to an incorrect meeting point and arrived late but she welcomed us smoothly into the group. She was good and the tour was a lot of fun.
