Valletta tour - Our tour guide was great - very informative and pleasant. My only suggestion is that it would have been nice to know about the elevator (lift) in advance…it would have saved us time and energy!!

A Pleasant and Informative Tour - My wife found this Tour by accident while looking at things to do in Valletta. We were both glad she did. Matteo, our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour was done at a reasonable pace. Matteo always managed to find shade whenever he needed to explain the importance of the areas/buildings we passed. All information was given clearly and there was always the opportunity to ask questions. We both enjoyed this tour and were glad of the opportunity to learn more of the fascinating history of Valletta and Malta. It is free and all that is asked is a donation at the end. Time and money well spent.

Time and money very well invested - Recommendation ! - Super nice and informative tour of the capital Valetta. This WalkingTour is definitely recommended, pleasant group size, very varied trail with lots of interesting insights and explanations. The almost 3h were very entertaining, incl. a kl. Pause to drink, look, breathe. Our guide GUILIA was super nice, friendly, very pleasant explanations without boring listing of dates; lots of background information - you can tell that she has a lot of knowledge and wants to convey this with a lot of fun. Definitely a Recommendation !!!

Great, informative tour! - Our guide Matteo explained a lot about the history and culture of Valetta and Malta, while being really entertaining. We walked in Valetta for 1,5 hours, so it's doable even on a hot day. Nice views and lots of info, also if you have questions about other things to do in Malta. I think it's the perfect introduction to the country. 100% would recommend this tour! :)

TOUR GUIDE HAS BEEN DOING THIS TOO LONG - Tour group too large (23) and impersonal and the tour guide did not maintain a watch on whether he had his group together throughout the 3 hours. He let one very mouthy lady capitalize his time with repeated nonsense questions that others clearly did not care about instead of cutting her off politely and asking whether anyone else had questions. Rushed us through some areas that should have been handled more slowly. Knowledgeable but needs a new gig. Needs clearer directions regarding exactly where to meet and how to identify the guide.
