Interesting history brought to life by Matthew our Guide - Matthew was very informative and was clearly passionate about the history of Malta. This, plus the visit to the Inquisitors Palace really brought the history to life, on all levels. Some of had Maltese heritage and he was interested in that and answered any questions we had. The two and a half hours went very quickly and when not in the Palace, Matthew made sure we were always in shade. A great your and guide.

Recommend Highly - A really great tour. Matthew was very knowledgable and interesting to listen to. It is clear he has a passion for his home town and this came through. The tour was well paced and full of interesting sites. The tour immerses you in history all the way from the Great Siege to WW2. A thoroughly enjoyable tour and one I would recommend.

Great informative walk - Very good guide , clear and obviously very interested in the history of Malta.
Well laid out tour of Birgu , note you don’t walk in all 3 cities just Birgu, doing all 3 in a morning is impossible
Birgu is by far the best of all.
Final stop point is great four lunch in Birgu square and then the water taxi across to Valetta

Overall good - When we booked we thought we were actually go to three cities, but this tour is only in Victoriosa, not the two other cities. The name of the tour is somehow misleading. Our guide Aleza was very good.
