Thoroughly enjoyable - This was a very enjoyable tour and I would thoroughly recommend it. Our guide Ernest, was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Valletta is a beautiful place. I enjoyed getting to taste some local delicacies which I would not have chosen to buy but I really enjoyed.

I’d been to Malta before but I didn’t know what I didn’t know! - I had been to Malta a few times previously but, Ernest opened up Valletta to me in a way that I hadn’t seen before. Ernest was enthusiastic, professional and a wealth of knowledge. We had such a great time and met very nice people on the tour. I never knew Valletta had a coffee district as well as a chocolate district. All the food was great. A most enjoyable tour.

Food and fun with history in Valletta. - My wife and I had a great time with Maribelle's guided food and history tour of Valletta. We started off with a Pastizzi, walked on for some history before stopping at a narrow terraced street restaurant for a tuna roll with the local drink, Kinnie. More walking, more history and more food at our final stop, where we had a three course lunch with beer or soft drink. The main course was ravioli or horse stew (see photo). Maribelle was very knowledgeable and had a highly engaging personality. Great tour.
