Great way to discover old Valetta - Superbly organised Walking Tour with great Guide. Tour takes you to Old Valetta with great Photo opportunities. The tour of St John's Cathedral is a MUST. Worth the 3 hours - You will find parts of Valetta you wouldn't find on your own. We had circa 20 people on the Tour.

Valletta walking tour - worth it! - Mary, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Malta history. She gave us a very thorough synopsis of it all. I included St John’s Co-Cathedral, also well done. Caravaggio paintings are stunning. Stayed after the tour was finished to linger longer in the Cathedral and also experience the Caravaggio exhibit about all his works.

Valletta City Walking Tour with "V" - The tour was fabulous! Our guide, "V" (whose name I don't remember) has lived in Valletta for many years after moving there from Croatia. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and totally professional, sharing tips for restaurants and special places to see after our tour ended. She made what could have been a boring experience extremely interesting. Seeing St. John's Co-Cathedral was a very special experience. I totally recommend this tour for anyone visiting Malta, and ask for "V". She was a wonderful guide and ambassador for the city.

Absolutely wonderful tour - Nadine was absolutely superb as a guide. She has so much knowledge of Valletta and Malta. It was a joy to be a part of the tour which was well organised from start to finish. Highly recommended, including the optional visit to St John’s Cathedral. It’s quite a long tour (3 hours plus) but is worth it. You will learn so much from this excellent guide.

Great experience - Excellent guide with lot of very interesting details from the history but also about contemporary Malta. Starting from the new parliament building firmly connected to Malta historical identity, trough out the old Valletta to the 21st century Malta and finishing with the extraordinary St. John co-cathedral. Really something you should try.
