Additional Information
Much of Malta’s grandeur is owed to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem now universally known as the Knights of Malta, who made Malta their home for close to three centuries. Valletta, Malta’s capital was founded by the Frenchman Jean de Vallette after the epic siege of 1565. In the words of Sir Walter Scott Valletta is “a splendid town quite like a dream” rising perpendicular from the water’s edge. It dominates the island’s historic Grand Harbour - the finest natural port in Europe. The grid planned city is representative of the island as a whole. It is rich in history, architecture, art and culture. Your private tour guide will ensure that you won’t miss out on anything worth seeing in Valletta.

City Tours Valletta, a captivating experience! You must go! - I looked through many websites for interesting walking tours for some friends visiting Malta. City Walking Tours Valletta caught my eye and ticked all the boxes for our group, so we went ahead and booked. Prices were fair. Booking was smooth and some participants had queries which were promptly answered and addressed.
So the tour day came. Our guide, the beautiful and talented Angele met with us on time, and welcomed us courteusly and ever so warmly.
The tour itself was at a very relaxed but steady pace, and we were taken to see the best parts of Valletta, and given the time to stop and admire. Historic information was forthcoming and we were even treated to a few details which were very interesting and also entertaining. We did not have to go through the hassle of flipping through our guide books.
I was so chuffed that I made the right choice for my friends, as they thouroghly enjoyed it. So much so that we are booking their food tour, which seems ever so interesting.
Thank you Angele! You are a 🌟

Wonderful private accessible Malta tour - Our guide Angele was wonderful-so knowledgeable and personable. Our driver Charline was excellent and they both helped my husband as he is in a wheelchair. We had a customized driving and walking tour all over Malta. We would definitely recommend them for personalized and convenient tours.
