Carl is the real deal - I had the pleasure of touring Valletta with Carl as my guide, and he was absolutely outstanding. Even though I arrived late, Carl went out of his way to meet me on the way and brought me the treats the group had already enjoyed at breakfast — such a thoughtful gesture! Throughout the day, Carl led us through the city with incredible knowledge and enthusiasm. He shared fascinating insights into Valletta’s history as well as the stories behind the restaurants and local foods we sampled. From rich chocolate to freshly baked sourdough sandwiches, flavorful meatballs, and traditional Maltese coffee, the variety was amazing — I left completely full and completely satisfied. What impressed me most was Carl’s ability to keep everyone engaged, seamlessly answer questions, and weave the city’s history into a fun, memorable experience. His passion for Valletta truly shines through. If you’re looking for an exceptional guide who makes you feel welcomed and informed every step of the way, Carl is the one!
