Delicious and informative - Very educational tour. The guide provided wealth of information both about the cuisine of Malta and about the history of Valletta. We get to try traditional dish and everyday Maltese snacks.

Fantastic Food and Culture Tour - Highly Recommend! - We booked a private early‑evening Food and Walking Tour for our group of 19 at the start of a stag do/bachelor weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic. Marisa was a brilliant guide — warm, knowledgeable, and great fun — and she really made the experience memorable for all of us. The food and drink were plentiful, the stops were well chosen, and we had plenty of laughs along the way. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Valletta.

Culture & food - the perfect combo - Great blend of culture and food with a very knowledgeable, food loving local guide (Marisa). As a solo traveller it was a nice way to meet fellow travellers and share food together. Highly recommend

Lovely introduction to Malta - We’re great fans of food walking tours as a way of finding out about a new place and chatting to similar minded people from all over. This one didn’t disappoint! A fascinating and passionate tour with plenty of food stops - in fact, you might want to pace yourself 😁

Great mixture of culture, history and lots of food! - Our guide, Marisa, was absolutely brilliant - we only had 8 of us in our tour which was a nice number of people and were told about things we would have never found out about if walking around ourselves. It was a great combo of history, culture and plenty of food. Very good value for money.

Knowledgeable guide and great traditional food experience. - The tour itself was lovely with lots of food. Viator gave me the wrong meeting point which was a 22 min walk away so I had to take a taxi at an extra cost to get to the new location. The lovely guide did wait for me though.

Interesting tour with a knowiguide - There is a lot to learn and see in Valletta. A food tour is always a great way to start. Our guide Ernest was very knowledgeable and we were able to experience the food and the culture in Villetta through him. The weather unfortunately was terrible that day with rain and wind so we were not able to enjoy the full experience as much as we would have. Malta has a very complex history and a complex culture and this is a great way to start understanding
