Excellent tour - This is an excellent tour. Our guide, Marisa, was absolutely first rate, giving us lots of background information as well as the details about the individual sights. Commentary had a light touch, so never boring.

Very nice intimate experience - They definitely do walk the full three hours, so be braced and bring a water bottle. The path manages to stay mostly flat by going east-west back and forth. The pace is very reasonable. The headsets are a life saver.

Excellent Walking Tour! - Marisa was a fantastic tour guide! We learned a lot of really interesting information not just about the history of Malta in general and Valetta specifically, but about life in this small island nation now! She also showed us a lot of beautiful points of interest, gave breaks due to the heat, and overall did a great job.

Highlight of our trip - Our city walk with Marisa was one of the highlights of our trip to Malta. She is warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, weaving history, culture, and local anecdotes together in a way that made the city truly come alive. What we loved most was how personal she made the experience — adapting the pace, answering all our questions, and sharing local tips we would never have discovered ourselves. We finished the tour with a deeper appreciation for Malta and some great recommendations for food and further exploring. If you’re visiting Malta and want more than just the guidebook version of the city, Marisa’s tour is a must!

Good Value and Enjoyable - Very elegant and articulate guide. They clearly loved Valletta. Individual good quality headset made for a relaxing listening experience. Its difficult to strike balance between a depth of historical detail and anecdote and interesting trivia. The guide did that. But I would have preferred more political and architectural facts. The walk is a short distance but given the 600 years of history , every few meters walked involves lots of interesting features. I would highly recommend this tour as s gentle introduction to the city.
