Shore excursion in Valetta - This was the highlight of our trip! Our guide Tracey, provided us with a well rounded menu of foods, but a private walking tour of the city. I would definitely recommend this activity!

Amazing Malta tour - This private walking food tour was one of the most incredible tours we’ve ever experienced. Our tour guide Ben met us right outside our cruise port and kept open communication and answered promptly to find us. Ben took us all throughout Valletta, Malta and taught us the histories and cultures, while also giving us tastes of their local cuisine. We learned so much about Malta! Ben was the greatest tour guide sitting with us during our tastings and talking to us about his culture as well as wanting to learn more about ours. By the end of our tour we felt like Ben was a lifelong friend and we were sad to leave. This company is the best tour to book with if you are touring Malta. The private tour with just your loved ones or whomever you are traveling with is one of the best ways to experience beautiful Malta. Please don’t look anywhere else. Thank you Ben and Christian for a experience we will never forget.
