Very entertaining tour - Great tour! The tour guide Mario is very engaging, and he tells the stories in a way that all of his guests can enjoy independently of their age. There are some funny comments on Instagram here and there, but the point is that you can learn a lot not just about the history of Malta but also about human nature, especially because all of the stories are true!

Great storytelling and very engaging - Our tour guide was absolutely great. Our family was running late due to a lot of traffic in Malta that day (due to an event) and he called us to check where we were and we were able to meet up with the rest of the group. He had stalled for us and was able to tell the group other stories while they waited. Truly appreciated that. He is an amazing storyteller and was able to piece each story together leaving on a cliffhanger until we got to the next spot. The time flew by and even though it was a couple of hours it wasn't tiring at all. Definitely recommend!

Let the shadows guide you, for they hold the answers you seek. - Mario has clearly invested a huge amount of time and research into the history and less well known dark secrets of Valletta. Add to this, his natural ability as a storyteller and you have one of the best walking tours we have experienced! Highly recommended as a way to truly get to know this beautiful and mysterious city. We look forward to our next experience of the ‘Dark Side’ with Mario!

Amazing Tour of the Lesser Known Stories about Valletta - Mario is an amazing guide, the places and stories that he picked flowed with each other so well, we had not even noticed that the two hour tour was up by the end of the tour. He is very knowledgeable, open to questions and does his own incredibly in-depth research. I, as a Maltese native, was impressed that I had not heard about most of the stories being presented during this tour. Must do for anyone with an interest in history, we are looking forward to the next tours that Mario will be doing in Birgu & Mdina!

Valletta Mysteries revealed - An absolutely fascinating night time walk through some of Valletta's darkest secrets. Mario is super knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. Injecting the right amount of humour into a sometimes gruesome, little known history of those ancient buildings. An amazing evening and Well worth it.
