Fabulous food tour - My partner and I did the food tour today with Ernest. He was great - extremely knowledgeable, funny, and provided us with a great historical account of Valletta, and Malta more broadly. We visited several different places to discuss the food, history, agriculture of Malta, and ate delicious food along the way

Malta food/history/architecture and culture - Be prepared for lots of steps and a beautiful history/food lesson. We enjoyed our time with Charlotte and her expansive local history of the island(s) and its influences. Can not recommend this tour and Charlotte enough. She has the knowledge and history and some extra tidbits that make the whole experience well worth it.

A discovery of Malta's delicacy - A pleasant tour of Valetta. The guide briefly tells the history of the country with the focus on nutrition. In between you will taste some of the delicacies Malta has to offer. Often you have a choice between 2 options. The tour ends with lunch in a cozy restaurant.

Walking Tour with Mirabel - The tour was perfect blend of culture and food. Our tour guide Mirabel was great, very personable and knowledgeable and delivered the right mix of culture, history and information about thr food. The 4 food stops were evenly spaced out - sat in cafes (out of the sun) where Mirabel would be very informative about what we were eating and about places of interest we were to visit nearby. The tour ended with a 3 course sociable lunch in a Maltese restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour if you want a blend of culture, history and food with a relaxing sit down, with refreshments in the shade enroute.

Hot Food and Hot Day - Marisa was great. The tour was very informative and the food selections were quite pleasant. We appreciated the combination of history and cultural significance of the city, country, and food. I particularly enjoyed the Pastizi, the and the Rabbit.

Average - Interesting at times. A lot of showing pictures of food which was a bit boring. Could have found out all the information just walking around

Not the best - This was the worst food tour I've been on. Food low quality majority stale tasting cakes and some very bad coffee. The sandwich was excellent! The history about Valetta and Malta was interesting but repetitive.
