Wonderful tour! - A lovely and informative tour, it met every expectation and more importantly, we were running slightly late and everyone waited with no fuss or drama. So for that, we were particularly grateful as we were stressing getting there! Would absolutely recommend if you want to see the three cities in an afternoon.

A great walk back in time - Chris gave us a very detailed tour of the 3 cities with personal local Knowledge of the area. He obviously loves Malta and has and in depth knowledge of the country and its history. He took us on a journey both physically and emotionally, taking us back in time as we walked our way around the cities. Thankyou Chris.

Engaging and endlessly Fascinating - Lorraine was a simply superb guide - knowledgeable, engaging, and great fun. The tour of Burgu and Cospicua - the wall, the medieval town, the built, rebuilt and the new absolutely fascinating and superbly delivered. Highly recommended.

Very much a hidden gem. Keep it to yourself!! - Valletta is such a draw, & is wonderful. The 3 cities - across the Grand Harbour by boat - are a hidden gem. This small group walking tour with Chris, introduced us to this spectacular, historic, & overlooked area, so close to Valletta, & yet with a longer history than Valletta. Let Chris show you around, and take you back in time to bring the stories to life. You will also find a much quieter place (for now!), & yet just a beautiful one. We also did Chris’s Mdina & Rabat Insider’s Tour & thoroughly recommend that tour too.

Great tour - We did Chris’ 3 cities tour in the morning and enjoyed it so much we decided to book on to his Valletta tour in the afternoon. Chris was kind enough to offer us a lift to Valletta when he saw us at the bus stop. Chris is very knowledgeable and a great storyteller, both tours were very interesting and he took the time to get to know everyone. The pace was comfortable so no one was left behind and he’d always ensure to point out good spots for pictures and step aside as to not photobomb them. This was a great way to see Valletta if you have a short amount of time and don’t know where to go, and the stories were entertaining as well! Thank you Chris for a brilliant day!

A fascinating tour, with so many surprising details bringing history alive. - Chris gave the group of 10 interesting people - from very different parts of the world - an outstandingly good account of the three cities area. Covering the historical background ranging from knights of St John to the central rôle of Malta in 20th century wartime - plus social issues affecting the area right up to modern times, the tour was wide-ranging but totally well-planned, and never off-subject. All this was given with wit and fun a notable ingredient in the mix - essential in an excellent guide with the clearest and strongest of voices which, as a hearing-challenged visitor, my husband was very grateful for! Thank you so much to Christian for this tour, already a high point in our stay in Malta.

1 city tour not 3, although still interesting. - We enjoyed the tour and found it interesting. However the title of the tour was The 3 Cities Tour, which is somewhat misleading as we only visited Victoriosa.
