Informative and knowledgeable guide - Once you arrive in Valletta, you realise how stunning the place is. Anna, the English speaking guide, had been doing tours for over 40 years, and it showed how knowledgeable she was. It was a very hot day..30 degrees by 10 am and reached 39 at 2 pm, so take plenty of water and cover up.. she did well keeping us in the shade as much as possible. You get time for a coffee and a break, which was essential with the walking you do. Valletta is a beautiful city, and the trip is a must to really understand Malta

Valletta with Carmel ! - Carmel was probably the best tour guide on a walking tour that we have ever had. We really enjoyed our walk around Valletta and he was excellent in his information and communication. He looked after the group so well looking out for us for traffic and keeping us in the shade for the talks. Really enjoyed every minute. Thank you Carmel! From the Campbells

A great insight to Malts - A very relaxed informative tour. Dylan the guide gave a very good history of various sites and buildings in a humorous manner. Easy walking and always managed to find shade away from the hot sun !

Don’t wander aimlessly, go on this tour - find out the history and have a fun 3 hours. 10am slot better..it’s cooler! - This was a fantastic tour.. 3 hours might seem too much for some but it was at a steady / slow pace with a drinks stop in the middle A fun and informative tour explaining the history of the city of Valletta - and it’s very interesting Matthew was a great guide; the story as we moved from one street to the next was expertly delivered with great candour. If you’re going to Valletta don’t wander about aimlessly looking at the great architecture, buildings and church’s, go on guided tour and find out about it all from some who knows Excellent value for money also

Fantastic walking tour! Just was I wanted to get a nice overview of Valletta! - I was looking for a great walking tour that showed me around Valletta and this was exactly what I was looking for. The tour started in front of the New Parliament building right by the City Gate at 10 am where everyone who booked met our guide, Matthew. Matthew took us on about a 3 to 4 hour walking showing us many notable attractions in Valletta including Hastings Gardens, Our Lady of Victories Church, the Saluting Battery Viewpoint, and more all throughout the streets of Valletta. Matthew did a fine job guiding us throughout and teaching us a lot about the history of Malta so a big thank you to him! Definitely consider doing this if you’re looking for a fine walking tour that introduces you to the city of Valletta, I loved it and I highly recommend it! - Nolan

A little too slow. - Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable, but the pace is very slow. We left halfway through it as did some other participants.
