A must if you stay in Valletta - Very informative, we have had Angel who is Maltese and knows the city inside out. Plenty of food and you go to side streets and cafes you would usually miss. Absolutely a must if you stay around Valletta!!

A great way to spend a morning! - We had a great morning with our guide, Visnja. She was excellent company and kept us entertained while we walked round Valletta, tasting pastizzi, coffee and cake, ftira and ending with a 3-course lunch. I’d recommend this tour!

A Great Way to See and Taste Malta - What a wonderful way to see the highlights of the capital city of Valletta on the island of Malta! Our guide Visnja was exceptional and the sights we saw over 3 hours were spectacular. All of the food stops were handled very well, spaced out between walking and resting time, and the food and drink samples were delicious. Visnja was very knowledgeable about Malta’s colourful history and we found her commentary educational and enjoyable to listen to. Well done!
