Beautiful City - This place is beautiful. The history is exciting. We went for a day on a cruise but I’d love to go back to explore this place further.

Perfect introduction to Malta - I was in town for a business meeting, but managed to reserve a few hours for a private tour to get to know a little bit about Malta and the beautiful city of Valletta. I was not disappointed! My guide, Elisa, was a wealth of information about history, art, and culture--even more so than I expected. And she learned enough about me in our chatting along the way to share information that was customized to my interests.
I can honestly say I fell in love with Valletta on this tour, and I hope I can come back to continue my exploration--and if I do, I will certainly ask for Elisa!

Great way to explore Valletta - We had a very proficient guide, Elisa, who seemed to know everything about Malta, Valletta, the three cities, the knights of St John, every building or monument in the city, etc. No question remained unanswered! Amazing how much we learned, both about the history and the modern life in Malta. Many thanks!

Unmissable. Cannot recommend highly enough - Amazing. Worth every penny. Elise was so knowledgeable and took us on a tour not just of Valetta, but the history of the world. Without her, we would have missed most of it and wandered around looking at beautiful buildings, but not understand their relevance or importance. She managed to keep two teenage boys interested throughout despite the heat and recent examinations! Highly recommended

Beautiful city not necessarily the tour - The guide was 30 minutes late and tried to say we weren’t where we were supposed to be. I then showed her the confirmation email and we were standing in the exact spot she said. She basically lied to us. We had booked 4 hours and at 2 hours 45 minutes she asked to quit the tour. I loved the city but not the guide.

Don't book this tour! - There are no times bookable with this tour. Next day, we received a start time of 4pm which would not have allowed us time to do the tour and return in time for our pre-booked dinner at a restaurant, so we cancelled. The cancellation policy says free cancellation up to 24 hours before which I complied with, yet Viator refuse to refund.
I would give Zero Stars if I could. Absolutely fuming at loss of £127 for nothing.
