A Delicious and Heartfelt Journey Through Valletta - Our food tour in Valletta with Karl was absolutely fantastic! The combination of amazing historical information and authentic Maltese food made this such a special experience for our family. Many of the dishes reminded us of the food my mother and grandmother used to make, which brought back wonderful memories and made the tour even more meaningful. Karl’s passion, knowledge, and storytelling truly brought the history and culture of Malta to life. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Malta!

Best food tour we've done! - Excellent tour. Really friendly guide. Learned lots about the history of Malta, got tips about places to visit for the rest of our stay and as for the food......there was so much! Not just little bites like on most tours, this was full snacks , drinks and finished with a full meal. All excellent from lots of local places that you could easily just walk past. Make sure you arrive hungry!

Highly enjoyable - Outstanding tour. Chris was our guide and shared so much about Malta and Valletta explaining so many different foods. We also got to see some of the key sites of the city. The pace was also perfect, with plenty of stops where we were able to sit for a while (usually while eating!) and opportunities to use restrooms. We loved some of the places we were shown and went back later on our holiday to enjoy them again. Chris explained that they keep the tour numbers low, meaning everyone was able to participate and ask questions as we went along. We have not done any other tours with Chris, but plan to return to Malta next year and will be booking with him without question. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks Chris!
