Mariella is a wonderful,... - Mariella is a wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly guide. She has such a vast knowledge of Malta and is charming and energetic; she was quick to help us with changing plans and even made suggestions as to how best to utilize our limited time. The food was delicious as well. Overall a delightful experience!

Best Excursion! Do this Trip Early in Your Valletta Stay! - This was our favorite excursion. We regret not having done this on our second day in Valletta rather than our next to the last. Hngile, our guide was extremely knowledgeable in so many areas. We got Maltese food, cooking tips to make some of the dishes, a city walking tour with a history of Valletta, language and cultural influences. It was worth every penny we spent on this excursion! Hngile is also personable and has delved into the history of Valletta and presents interesting and exciting tidbits of information. And the food! Well … it was excellent and plenty of it! You must book this tour with Hngile!

Do this one first!! Best tour we had in Malta! - We should have done this tour first during our Valletta stay! Angele was a terrific guide and told us and showed us so much more about Valletta and Malta than just being on a food tour. The food was wonderful and the history behind the food and the language was fascinating. Worth every penny!

Beautiful!! - We had Nadine as a tour guide. She was very pleasant and informative. We had pastries then sandwiches then the best ravioli and my husband ate the rabbit and loved it. Followed by a delicious dessert and cappuccinos. I highly recommend this tour!

So much good food! - The Host, Angel was wonderful and all the food we tried was amazing. We tried to finish it all as best we could but left a little bit. The tuna sandwich on the sourdough was really delicious and the rabbit and ravioli were so good. She shared a lot of history with us as we walked through Valletta and made the tour so much more interesting. Highly recommend!

Amazing day in Valletta - Marisa was a wealth of knowledge! We had such an amazing time on our food tour. We enjoyed seeing a day of food for a Maltese as well as the vast history of the area. She also shared additional things we could do with our remaining time on the island. The suggested harbor cruise was a fantastic way to end our day. Marisa helped us fall in love with Valletta!

Wonderful food experience in Valletta. - Today we met our tour guide, Ernest…who was on time and ready to make our day a special one. As it was only the 2 of us, he really made it a memorable one. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Malta and went in detail to explain the importance of how it influenced the Maltese cuisine.
We visited 4 establishments and the food in each and every one of them…was delicious! Along the way, we learnt so much about Valletta’s history and culture, which was amazing.
The tour was 3 1/2 hours and I honestly don’t know where the time went. We would thoroughly recommend Ernest and this food tour, it is worth every cent!

Delicious food tour - Our tour with Maribelle was fantastic. She gave us lots of history of the area. All the food was delicious there was a lot of food and great variety. She also explained the food we ate and had a local cookbook with her that was helpful. I definitely recommend this tour.
