A first class foodie tour! - Where to start? Everything about this tour was fabulous. We got to see and taste parts of Valletta we would, perhaps, have passed by. Our guide, (whose name I can’t remember, but she has 4 children including a 1 year old and one of her sons was in the show that evening by the Triton Fountain) was funny, open, interesting and could answer all questions. The food was delicious from start to finish. 3 hours of yumminess !

YES, book this food tour! You won't regret it. - Our local guide was fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, full of fascinating historical insights, and genuinely entertaining throughout the entire experience. They brought the city to life with stories and fun facts that made each stop even more memorable. The food was absolutely incredible. Every tasting felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen, giving us a true flavor of Malta’s culinary traditions. From savory bites to sweet treats, everything exceeded our expectations. Beyond the food, the beautiful streets and historic sites we visited made the tour even more special. It was the perfect mix of culture, history, and delicious local cuisine. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Valletta!

More a sweet tour rather than a food tour. - The guide was very nice and gave a lot of local history. Unfortunately, the food on the tour was subpar and much of it was chocolate or pastry. We have gone on a lot of food tours around the world, and this is, by far, the worst of them all.
