Great tour guide, lackluster tour - Very friendly and informative. Our tour guide was very accomodating and answered our questions with much detail. However, everything was very slow moving, staying in one place for too long and not going to so many places. It would have also been nice to have headsets to hear better. Our tour guide, fantastic, the tour. Okay.

Cosy tour around Birgu and the 3 cities. - We had a small group that was led by Matthew around the 3 cities which primarily focused on Birgu. It was great being able to ask lots of questions and our guide was really knowledgable and engaging. The perfect way to understand more about Malta's history from a local.

A Wonderful Way to Discover Birgu’s History - The Three Cities tour was both informative and fascinating. The tour mainly focused on Birgu, one of the first of the Three Cities, which is rich in history and heritage. The tour guide, Matthew, walked me through the key landmarks and shared interesting historical insights that brought the area’s past to life.
He also provided helpful recommendations on how to spend the rest of the afternoon, including suggestions for restaurants and other landmarks worth visiting nearby. The tour was a great way to gain an understanding of the local history and culture.
Overall, I would highly recommend this tour, especially for anyone visiting the area for the first time.

Well paced and plenty to see - Great tour, well paced informative and plenty of photo opportunities. Small group and a smashing taster of the area. Yellow umbrella tours are great. Wish we had taken them the next day in Valletta too as the one I did book was terrible and boring.

Halloween special edition - We attended the Halloween special edition. It was truly remarkable. The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and well-versed in the subject matter. The tour commenced on schedule and concluded on time, which is important to me as I value punctuality.

Worth it as a third tour after Valletta and Mdina tours - Interesting sites and places, and worthwhile, though not as engaging as the Valletta and Mdina walking Tours
