Dark matters; dazzling fun - Wonderful two-hour adventure! Private 15-people tour! Atmosphere was electric especially when it turned dark! Mario the tour guide has a wonderful cadence as he tells stories of murder, revenge, and hauntings. Highly recommended!!

Experience Malta from a different historical perspective. - I've had the pleasure to go on two of the tours available with my eldest daughter. We visited Valletta and Birgu. The tours were interesting, fun and well paced. The guide makes this narrative journey through Malta's tormented past, a one of a kind experience with a healthy sense of humour. We have truly enjoyed it and will certainly renew the experience when we will return to this lovely island.
