Very enjoyable. - Despite the gale force winds, Chris kept us engaged, entertained and informed. The tour was just about the right length. (Might be a challenge for some with several hilly bits). Very enjoyable introduction to Valetta and Malta.

Walking tour of Valletta with Chris. - We had an excellent experience learning all about Valletta’s history with Chris as our guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly and we particularly liked the places he showed us that were off the main streets of Valletta. Our 2 children 20 and 15 also really enjoyed Chris’s tour and we all learnt a lot. We would highly recommend this walking tour with Chris.

Knowledgeable and Fun - Highly Recommended - The tour was the right balance of information and attention span. Our Guide Christian was very knowledgeable but not boring as it was lightened with humour and fun. Highly recommended and very reasonably priced.

From sorbets to ftira - Absolutely superb walking tour of Valletta by our extremely knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Chris. Two-and-a-half hours flew by with his fascinating commentary, where we learnt about Malta in the Stone Age, Maltese pirates, how the Knights of St John enjoyed ice--cold sorbets in the 16th century in searing 40°C summer heat, and how Caravaggio was such a naughty boy! Then we learnt about the delights of the Maltese ftira tuna sandwich - and where to get the best sorbet in town today. Highly recommended - by an English professional tour guide!

Christian was great! - Christian was great - super planning, great sense of humour and a pleasure to speak to. On a long tour, he planned the itinerary perfectly to see Christmas lights turned on and reach the harbour cannon a few minutes before it's fired

10 out of 10 experience - I'm very glad I booked this tour! Great time, Valletta is an absolute beauty. Our guide Christian Galea was very professional, outgoing and made this tour incredibly interesting for us. The group was only 4 people which makes in a perfect size for walking and moving around the city. We came only for 4 days and we're so glad we did this walk to learn more about Malta and Maltese people. Thanks from Olga and James 🇺🇦

Chris is the Best! - Chris, Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. There were two other people with the tour, so it was really nice and felt very exclusive. He was funny and kept us guessing on what he was going to tell us next, I highly recommend to ask for him if/ when you are visiting Malta.

not worth it in our opinion - This tour was REALLY not worth the cost! It was poorly organized, a bit boring, and lacked thoughtful planning. We didn’t move around much, and the guide pretty much said she adjusted the day’s schedule based on her mood. A major disappointment was being taken to the Barrakka Gardens at 3:30 pm when the cannons are scheduled to fire at 4:00 pm. We were told that seeing the cannons fire is a highlight, yet the guide then gave us a 15-minute break right before, ensuring we would miss it—despite multiple people in the group wanting to see it. If we weren’t going to see the cannons, it would have been much better not to be there around that time, as it was far more crowded. Overall, the timing was inconsiderate, the organization was poor, and the experience felt careless rather than curated.
