Great tour, great tour guide! - The tour is fab! You learn a lot of history and see all the beautiful buildings! We ended up getting a personal tour just by chance, so that made it even more special! Our tour guide Vicki was also amazing yesterday - big thank you to her for everything! The 5d part was nice to tie everything together, and also to cool off from the heat! All in all, I would 100% recommend!

Amazing afternoon - My husband booked this tour for me as I am in Valletta alone for work this week, and what an amazing experience it was. A stunning city and a knowledgeable, bright, lovely gentleman for a guide who I was luck enough to have all to myself this afternoon. I had walked the same streets on the evenings this week but saw them in an entirely different light through the eyes of my guide. A history, culture, architectural and social lesson, but above all a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. Full marks, gold star guide and tour.

A must -do! - We booked the tour on our last day in Malta, so unfortunately, our time was limited. Still, our guide Anthony managed to personalize the tour, to match our priorities and expectations. He was very knowledgeable, informative and had a great sense of humour. We would definitely recommend!

Waste of time and money - Could not get it to work! Downloaded the Voxcity App which said scan the GR code, which is on the tickets I also downloaded but I didn’t have a printer so it was impossible to scan! I also tried to use the website link on the ticket but no go! Awaiting a refund.

No stars, tour guide a no-show!!! - I booked Tour, it was last minute and was the only tour that had availability for the afternoon of Saturday 24th June. Tour was scheduled to start @ 4.00pm. We arrived an hour before the meeting time, two people joined at around 3.45. We waited until 4,20pm the guide didn’t turn up! One of the two people who were also waiting downloaded the Vox app and it showed we were in the right location. On the Sunday I rang the contact number, the lady who answered was less than helpful and said she couldn’t discuss any issues and certainly couldn’t discuss a refund. She offered alternative dates but we couldn’t make those dates and times, she said she would look into it during business hours and would message me Monday. I have not heard anything by close of business today. Avoid this tour because when things go wrong they simply refuse to discuss or communicate! If I could have given zero stars I would have done!
