Must do in Malta! - Our tour guide Nigel was awesome. We came into Malta on a cruise & really knew nothing before our tour. The food was so good, the history was amazing, and our family of 5 (including 3 kids, ages 15, 13 and 10) really enjoyed this excursion. If you’re coming from the cruise terminal, there’s an elevator you can take up and down from the cannon firing area that will save you a long walk up the stairs.

Fantastic Food Tour Highly Recommend - This was so much more than a food tour. Our guide, Romina, was friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable and spoke about the history of Valletta and life in Malta as well as the food and drink that we enjoyed. There was plenty of food on offer. Don’t have a meal before your trip, you won’t need it. We would highly recommend this tour.

Good tour - With Karl - Karl was such a great story teller, I wish the tour was longer just so I could've listen to him and the history of (Mighty) Malta. Food and drinks were good. Nice tour around the city center. Would recommend.

A Fantastic Way to Experience Valletta - We had a wonderful experience on our food tour through Valletta. The balance of delicious local food and rich historical insight made for a memorable day. Our guide did a great job keeping everyone engaged—both the kids and the adults in our small group of 11. There was plenty of food (definitely come hungry!), and each stop gave us a taste of Malta’s unique culture and history. It was quite warm, but that’s to be expected during summer in the Mediterranean, and the pace of the tour made it manageable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Malta. It’s a great way to explore the city and enjoy some amazing local flavors.
