Good food, great guide. - We just did the walking food tour with Stephen today. He was a great guide. Explained everything so well and gave us some recommendations of other places to try. I would recommend this tour if you are a foodie and if you want to see a few stops in Valletta. I would definitely do this tour again.

A Fun Evening in Valletta - Our dinner tour was a great way to experience Valletta. Marinella was an excellent guide who brought energy and knowledge to the tour, sharing stories about Malta’s food culture and history throughout the evening. The tour took us to several local spots around Valletta where we sampled traditional Maltese dishes. The pastizzi were delicious and definitely a highlight of the tastings. Marinella’s enthusiasm and explanations about the traditions behind each dish made the experience both educational and entertaining. The small group size made for a relaxed atmosphere, and we appreciated learning more about Maltese cuisine and Valletta’s streets. It was a fun way to spend an evening and try authentic local food. Recommended for anyone wanting to explore Valletta’s food scene with a knowledgeable guide!

Marinella is awesome - Marinella was an amazing guide. She took us to great spots and gave a lot of history about Malta. It's such a unique country, language, architecture and food. The rabbit ravioli at Nenu was something I've never tasted. Truly unique. Highly recommend this tour and with Marinella.

Good guide but pricey for the amount of food received - As others have noted this tour was rich in history. Our guide was great- he gave us a real feel for life in Malta. The reason for the one star deduction is that there was not a lot of food on the trip. For the price paid, we should have had more food. We left hungry.

Average food - The starting point on the map showed wrong starting point. The guide Tony was very knowledgeable and a very good guide. I found the food side of things was very disappointing, mainly pastry and bread. I would have preferred proper hot Maltese meze dishes not just a sandwich. Considering it was nearly £60 per person not very good value. Sorry.
