Definitely worth doing - The tour was very good. Karl was very knowledgeable but also added a bit of humour. It was a great way to start our holiday and learn about valetta . Also, it's great taking the tour in a small group as you have time to ask questions.

A Great Few Hours Around Valletta - We had a brilliant few hours exploring Valletta with our guide Romina, including a few of the quieter parts of this beautiful city. I’ve been to Valletta a few times but went to a few spots I’d never been to before. Lots of history of course but also some great tips for food & drinks. I’d thoroughly recommend this trip if you want to get more out of your visit to Malta’s capital. Thank you Romina!

Karl was an amazing tour guide! - Karl was an amazing guide and such a genuine, kind, beautiful person. You could really feel how much he loves his country, and that love was contagious because we left the tour feeling a real connection to Malta and the beautiful Maltese people. He shared so much knowledge in such an engaging and heartfelt way. It never felt like a lecture more like walking around with a passionate local friend. We learned a lot, had great conversations, and saw Malta through his eyes, which made it all the more special. This tour is a must to anyone visiting and wanting to know Malta in depth! Lukas & Cansu

Great introduction to Valletta - The map our hotel gave us was slightly wrong which meant we went to the harbour to find the fountain. After asking directions we took the lift up to the main area near the fountain. The tour organiser had phoned me to ask why we were not at the meeting place and explained that the tour leader had sent me a Whatsapp of directions on my phone. As it was so sunny I found it difficult to follow. Anyway, made our way to the fountain where we found Lorraine and the rest of the group waiting (well looking at a map of Valletta and she was talking about it). This was 30 minutes late and I had expected they would not wait so long, had actually given up on tour. However, despite a few nasty looks from the rest of the group (quite right too) we apologised and the tour went ahead. It was very interesting and useful. Lorraine certainly knew her stuff and we learnt a lot. Also gave us a great tip about buying tickets for the Cathedral which we took and visited later that day avoiding the hour queue and walking straight in. This was just what I wanted, an introduction to Valletta and Malta by someone who knew a lot about it. Sorry again for our lateness, totally my fault.

An absolute must do with guide Chris to fully understand history of Valletta at good pace - Made us feel welcome at the outset with asking where we’re all visiting from. Chris has good sense of humour, was mindful of shade, toilet stop in middle of tour and insider’s tips of must do’s (incl cafes/restaurants) after tour concludes. Great pace for all ages, learned so much about the grand masters, Romans, Venetians, Ottoman Empire, Napoleon and finally the British during WWII. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour - right length of time and distance covered for this tour without rushing. Loved the midday battery viewed from Lower Barrakka Gardens at end of our tour. Chris is an asset for this business!!

Excellent walking tour of Valletta. - This was a very informative walking tour of Valetta. Chris was excellent, and it was a relatively small group of ten, which made it easy to ask hear and ask questions. It was a great value for the money, and I would definitely recommend it.
