Very informative tour of beautiful historic area - Debated going on the tour in the hot afternoon sun but thankful I went as Matthew was a wonderful guide and learned much about Birgu especially that I would have not learned walking around on my own.

WALKING BACK IN TIME - Our tour was small with only 11 guests which was a relief although 2 of the guests arrived 20 minutes late so they had to catch up and meet us as the tour started on time
Mathew our guide was pleasant and informative and humorous at the right moment. Felt tour was long enough to get an introduction to the 3 cities if you decided a longer visit another time
Met some nice people on the tour
Would recommend this tour

Interesting history brought to life by Matthew our Guide - Matthew was very informative and was clearly passionate about the history of Malta. This, plus the visit to the Inquisitors Palace really brought the history to life, on all levels. Some of had Maltese heritage and he was interested in that and answered any questions we had. The two and a half hours went very quickly and when not in the Palace, Matthew made sure we were always in shade. A great your and guide.

Recommend Highly - A really great tour. Matthew was very knowledgable and interesting to listen to. It is clear he has a passion for his home town and this came through. The tour was well paced and full of interesting sites. The tour immerses you in history all the way from the Great Siege to WW2. A thoroughly enjoyable tour and one I would recommend.
