Interesting tour, but some hitches... - Mario was an excellent tour guide, with some very interesting insights to Valletta. However, we felt the tour moved at a hectic pace and was very much up and down Valletta, which seemed to be too much for some of the group. Also, some areas we passed through were very busy so we felt somewhat intrusive. All in all, a very interesting tour, great host but some hitches

A new look at Valletta - Mario our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting. As frequent visitors to Malta we learnt some new information doing this tour. While I would recommend this tour you do need to be mobile and fit as Valletta is very hilly and you do walk right down to the bottom and back up. It was a great night.
