Best tour guide - This guy is on another level! He's a great story teller and really passionate about what he's talking about. Great sense of humour, interactive stuff and amazing everything, can't have enough words to describe how great this tour was

A Great Tour with a Wonderful Story Teller - We’ve just finished the Secrets of St. John’s Co-cathedral tour and it was excellent! Mario is a fabulous guide and a wonderful story teller. Although the cathedral is impressive on its own, hearing the stories of the people and the time took the experience to the next level. We were already discussing next tours on our walk back, and have now booked a second tour for next month.

Best tour guide in town. - We booked a private tour of the St. John Co-Cathedral with Mario and could not be any happier. He was punctual, very knowledgeable and extremely courteous. He took an appropriate amount of time to explain in detail during all stops of the tour and gave us plenty of opportunities to take photos. He was very entertaining.I will not hesitate to book him again when back in Malta. This was an awesome experience.

Bringing History to Life with Expert Guidance - Although I’m Maltese and a keen history enthusiast, Mario, an extremely knowledgeable tour leader, delighted us with wonderful insights about the co-cathedral. His passion and depth of knowledge brought new perspectives that even I, as a local, had never considered. The tour truly felt like a treasure trove of information, enriching my appreciation of our heritage. It was so engaging that I will gladly re-attend the tour in the future. Highly recommended for both visitors and locals alike!

It was amazing and looking forward to others - Best tour I have ever been to. Very professional tour with a pinch of humour. Although I'm Maltese I learned a lot and even my 9 year old was interested all through the tour. Will be looking forward to others and the amazing videos he uploads
