Best walking tour ever! - This was without doubt the best walking tour we have done. Douglas gave an excellent introduction to Valletta and Malta. The tour was well paced and packed with history, anecdotes and lots of stories. It was the perfect start to our holiday in Malta.

Great walking tour of Valletta with Douglas - We loved the Valletta walking tour with Douglas. He was an excellent guide, knowledgeable engaging, and very attuned to the needs of the group (made sure we had shade, bathroom and water breaks, could hear him etc). We learned a lot and really appreciated all the info and the stories. Everything was communicated very well ahead of time which was important for us since we were just visiting on a cruise ship for a day.

A great introduction to fascinating Valletta ! - We had an excellent guide ! Douglas was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and clearly spoken. He kept the group moving, while being thoughtful for our comfort (finding shady spots whenever possible) and our safety on the busy narrow streets. He kept us well informed and entertained for the duration of the tour. It was most interesting. Highly recommended !

Just fabulous, very knowledgeable - Fantastic tour with Douglas as our guide, who took us round some unknown places we would never have found on our own. He was very knowledgable. Thoroughly worth booking this trip.

A comprehensive historical tour - The tour by Matteo was a delight. In addition to the more well trodden spots in Valetta we were show, n a number of less well known areas. Getting to any of the areas without a guide would be impossible and Matteo led us expertly. The complex history and all the back stories of intrigue between the Knights and their invaders was beautifully laid out. We even ended up in the old redlight area near the end of our travels.

Need a better identifier - The harbor cruise was nice and informative. But finding it was not easy. Please put a clearer sign or logo for future customers to find you. There are many cruise companies near by the bus stop. In nowhere I ever saw “ferry 4”. Remember not all customers have WiFi when outside the hotel. Using WiFi to find the “meeting point” is not possible if you have no WiFi.
