Walking tour of Valletta - Had a walking tour of Valletta today. Our guide was excellent and a Maltese local who knew everything about the city and Malta in general. The tour was a small group and a gentle pace. Very informative and learnt loads about the city which will stand us in good stead over the next few days we are here. The tour was fantastic value and I highly recommend to others.

Valetta City Walking Tour. - Excellent tour around the key areas of Valetta. A great way to start any visit as it's a wonderful way to get to know the local area. We went back to many of the places mentioned on the walk including some of the restaurants that were pointed out to us for local cuisine. Lots of very interesting anecdotal information that really brought the city to life delivered by a specialist who understood the city and it's history and made it personal.

Great way to get an... - Great way to get an overview of Valletta. Very knowledgeable guide. We also liked having headsets so we could hear the guide even when not right next to her. Just wish there had been more personal interaction between the guide and the group for questions etc. It was very business-like with tons of historical info but not many funny anecdotes or personality. But would still recommend for an informative tour.

Excellent Valletta city tour - Our guide is very good and knowledgeable. When I booked our tour it should be 15th 10:00 tour. But on the morning when I received the voucher at the meeting place, it said 27th 2:00 and we would have left. When I talked to Malissa the guide, she checked and be flexible to let us join the 15th 10:00 tour.

Avoid and pick another city tour - I research my tours and this one let me down big style. All standing listening to a historical talk with a presentation folder of pictures. I wanted to see Valletta and take photos of the sights en route. We left the tour after 50 mins. We had literally walked four sides of a square and seen nothing of valetta all talking no walking or sightseeing. Walked up steps seen the harbour over a wall, was told about the ditch and growing carrots, stopped on two corner ends back to where tour started. The most boring tour I have ever booked on Viator ever! Sat in the coffee shop now and the tour still has over an hour to go. Everyone was bored to tears but we were the only 3 with gumption to cut our loses and leave. A 2.5 hour WALKING tour with no walking, all talking. Terrible. Seen our tour guide from yesterday swooping past with her tour, while we all stood bored. Downloaded a self guided tour and seen more in the last 20 mins. Misadvertised as a walking sight seeing tour. I book Viator trips every where we go and this one is the first disappointment. I told the guide too much talking not enough walking or seeing and she just let us go no apology nothing
