A Family Adventure in Valletta

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can engage both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Valletta Riddle Tour in Floriana, I knew it was something my family would love. The idea of exploring a city through riddles and puzzles sounded like the perfect blend of education and entertainment. So, with my husband and three kids in tow, we set off on our Maltese adventure.

The beauty of this tour is its flexibility. We could start whenever we wanted, and with three kids, that kind of freedom is invaluable. We began our journey in the heart of Valletta, surrounded by its stunning architecture and rich history. The app guided us through narrow streets and past ten of the city’s most important attractions. Each stop presented us with a riddle to solve, unlocking fascinating facts about the location. It was like a treasure hunt, and the kids were thrilled to be part of it.

Solving Riddles and Discovering Hidden Gems

The riddles were cleverly designed, challenging us to use our imagination, observation, and logic. My kids, aged 8, 10, and 12, were fully engaged, each taking turns to solve the puzzles. It was a joy to see them work together, their faces lighting up with each solved riddle. The tour took us to some of Valletta’s hidden gems, places we might have missed if we were just wandering around on our own.

One of our favorite stops was the Upper Barrakka Gardens. The view of the Grand Harbour was breathtaking, and the riddle there was particularly challenging. It required us to look closely at the statues and plaques, something we might not have done otherwise. The sense of accomplishment we felt after solving it was immense, and we celebrated with a picnic in the gardens.

A Stress-Free Exploration

What I loved most about the Valletta Riddle Tour was the lack of pressure. We could pause whenever we wanted, whether it was to grab a gelato or explore a museum. This flexibility made the experience stress-free and enjoyable for the whole family. The app was easy to use, and any issues we had were quickly resolved by the responsive email support.

For families looking to explore Valletta in a fun and engaging way, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s a fantastic way to learn about the city’s history while keeping the kids entertained. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to bond as a family, working together to solve the riddles. Our adventure in Valletta was unforgettable, and I can’t wait to find more experiences like this to share with you all.
