Great Way to Experience the 3 Citites! - Our female guide (didn't catch her name) from Colour My Travel was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and so very well-spoken despite the blazing heat. She kept us moving while seeking shade. Especially enjoyed the tour of the Inquisitor's Palace as our guide's explanations really enhanced that overall experience. Just loved how she peppered the entire tour with anecdotes about her Maltese grandmother which made the experience very personal and fun. The only blip was our panic over trying to decide where which Birgu gate was considered the "Main Gate" at which we were to meet. We had to call Colour My Travel and they told us to find the guide neat the Cafe Riche. The tour operator should just change the starting place to the restaurant steps as they are mush easier to find.

Fascinating Tour! - It was blazing hot when we went on this tour, but our female guide (never caught her name) was enthusiastic, knowledgeable & exceedingly well-spoken. The only blip was trying to find the meeting place to begin the tour. It says that you meet at the Birgu Main Gate and we were panicking trying to figure out which gate was considered the main one. We called Colour My Travel and they said the guide would be near Cafe Riche. We found her near the front steps to the restaurant. The Inquisitor's Palace was fascinating and having a guided tour of it really enhanced the overall experience. I just loved how our guide peppered her talks with things she had learned from her Maltese grandmother.

Fabulous walking tour. - We had an excellent knowledgeable guide (Mathew) who was obviously passionate about Malta history. Extremely enjoyable morning. We also did a wonderful walking tour of Valletta a couple of days before with another very impressive guide (Francezo -probably spelled that incorrectly). She really knew her subject and was very personable.

A most interesting street walk - Thank you Elissa for a most informative 2,5 hr tour of walking around Vittoriosa . We enjoyed your interpretations and information spanning hundreds of years . We would never have found our way around the streets in our own to see the historical properties.
Our walk through the Inquisitor Palace was intriguing .
Thank you for your tour

My experience 🍀 - I extremely enjoyed our walking tour of the three cities, it was an informative and relaxed experience where we wrte able to do it at our own pace without being rushed which is all thanks to Elizea. Elizea was lovely I highly recommend going on any of the tour experiences with Elizea specifically if you had the option.
