A great overview of the history and feel of the City - Excellent walking tour with a small group
of only 5 of us. I recommend taking the 5 pm tour after the cruise ships have gone so there are less people on the streets and the air is a bit cooler. Our guide, Brigida, was wonderful! I just wish the others on the tour would have been considerate enough to give her a trip after she spent more than two hours with us giving us an amazing overview of this gorgeous city.

I would thoroughly recommend this walking tour. - We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning with our guide Jos, she was knowledgeable and engaging throughout our tour, able to answer questions and offer insights into Malta's proud history. Throughout our morning Jos took us to many of the significant sites in Valetta giving us stories and historical context which really brought Valetta and its past to life. As we wend our way around the city Jos was always mindful of the sun and heat keeping us in the shade wherever possible. There was a natural break halfway through at one of the city's amazing viewpoints, where we were able to get a drink from the various kiosks, there were also toilets here.
Thank you Jos we had an really interesting morning which allowed us to really enjoy the rest of our trip as we were able to put our new found knowledge into practice around other places in Malta.

Excellent small group walking tour of Valletta. - An excellent small group walking tour which I would highly recommend. Josianne was an engaging and informative guide who invited questions and ensured everyone in the group was involved. A brilliant way to explore a beautiful city.
Having seen much bigger walking tour groups I would definitely recommend this smaller and more personal option.

This is a must do!! All around great day! - Our tour was fantastic! Karl was so knowledgeable and just so friendly. He was born and raised in Malta so it was wonderful to hear about the history of Valletta from his perspective. His enthusiasm was infectious and it was clear he is so proud of Malta’s rich heritage, as he should be. My whole family loved it including our two teenage children. My husband’s family is from Malta (his dad was born here) and he was really moved by the whole experience - it was just such a great day all around. Again, Karl was amazing and not only gave us a wonderful history lesson, but also pointed out other things to do in Valletta after the tour ( St. John’s Co-Cathedral, the cannons and lift, places to eat, etc.) and it may seem like a minor thing, but he always made sure to stop and talk in the shade and was always considerate of our comfort, which I really appreciated.

Loved the history - tour guide was so nice - Our tour guide was the kindest and extremely knowledgable. You can tell that he has a passion for the history of Valletta. We had kids with us and so he kind enough to modify the stories since he thought some of them wouldn't be appropriate for them to hear which was very thoughtful. He knew the answers to any historical questions and gave restaurant recommendations nearby. Genuinely nice person to have a tour with and we all enjoyed it.
