Be sure to book! - The walking tour was just great. Karl is a fantastic guide – full of energy, knowledge and enthusiasm. He brings the history of Malta and Valletta to life, and you can feel how much joy he enjoys sharing his knowledge with tourists. Although I was in Valletta for the second time, I discovered many new and exciting places on this tour, which I had not even noticed on my first visit. Highly recommended.

Small group tour of Valletta - Not to be missed! We are so glad we chose a small group tour. Lorraine, our guide, was friendly and fun. We were a group of 12 only which made it easy to hear and stay together in the bustle of a busy city. We learnt and saw so much in a short time. It was a most enjoyable and interesting tour. Good to have early on in our visit as we were given many useful hints and tips to help make the most of our remaining short time in Malta. Happy to recommend to others and thanks to Lorraine for a great tour.

Great Small Group Tour of Valletta - We had an interesting experience on this small group tour wandering through Valletta’s charming narrow streets. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Malta’s history, sharing fascinating stories about the Knights of St. John, the city’s architecture, and local culture. The guide also gave excellent recommendation for local bakery for after the tour and suggested visiting the National Library of Malta (Bibliotheca) near St. George’s Square. It houses an impressive collection of ancient books and manuscripts, including works from the time of the Knights of St. John — a real hidden gem for history lovers! Overall, this tour was the perfect way to get to know Valletta — informative, relaxed, and full of local insights.
