GREAT SPOOKY GHOST TOUR! - The ghost stories at the appropriate locations were very atmospheric. Our guide Al was brilliant, giving us many historical facts about Valletta as well as the ghostly tales. Highly recommended.

Not really a ghost tour! - Fun way to see the lights and backstreets of Valletta. The guide readily admits its not a ghost tour, but a very historical perspective of Valletta. Lots of walking on cobblestone streets so wear comfortable shoes.

Don't bother ! - Th guide was very good and spoke English well. But we were expecting more ghost stories and more of a tour of Valletta. We only went through the entrance to the city and up to Barraka Gardens rather than around the city of Valletta. The tour was 4 hours long accordiing to the tickets but this was not the case. We were picked up half an later than the agreed 8pm collection time as the bus was caught in traffic, and the tour was finished by 10pm . We were disappointed with this tour. I wouldn't bother !

Eh tour - Again, another eh tour. I thought it would be risqué with history stories. But it came out of a book followed by the guide personal ghost stories that had nothing to do with the tour or history.

Not worth it - The guy spoke incredibly fast with a strong Mediterranean accent and was very hard to understand. We only visited a handful of places and to be honest there were very few stories to be told . Do yourself a favour and do the day walking tour … you get so much more info about the city and get told the same ghost stories . At 22 pound a go I’d say save your money . Sorry for the poor review !

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY - This was by far the worst ghost tour I've ever been on. I've been on many throughout Europe and The States and I'm simply dumbfounded a tour in a city with such rich history, war, catholic beliefs, inquisitions and medevil torture, couldn't come up with 1! Story. Instead, we got the tour guides personal experiences with ghosts that were no where near downtown Valletta. I'll save you the time and money and tell you the stories we heard. Our tour guide saw a sheep once, then it disappeared. He saw a golden ball once, then that disappeared. We saw a few old buildings that people had died in that were supposed to be haunted. Our tour guide, an artist, had a ghost priest come to his studio to request a candle be painted. Then he turned around and when he turned back, he disappeared. His friends apparently offered to show him pictures of said ghost priest and give him proof, but he claimed he was too scared to see any evidence. Makes perfect sense as a seeker of the paranormal. Save yourself the time and money. By far worst trip I've ever been on.

NOT A GHOST TOUR - I've never written such a bad review but feel so compelled to do so. First off, this is not a ghost or historical tour by any means. Ive traveled the world have visited many tours in the states and Europe and by far this was the worst. I'm truly shocked in such an ancient , old and catholic city this tour couldn't provide us with 1 story of any of that. Instead, this was the tour guides personal account of weird stuff he has experienced or heard about. I'll save you the trouble and here are the following stories we were told- He saw a sheep once in his village then it disappeared as well as a golden ball. A magistrate had a heart attack having an affair and the office is said to be haunted. Fort had a women beheaded and 2 guards killed, said to be haunted. Another building had someone fall out a window- said to be haunted- meanwhile these were no where near us. He had a ghost priest come up his studio to request a candle to be made and then he disappeared. Apparently people wanted to give him proof this was a deceased ghost priest but he was too scared to look at any evidence. Makes sense being a seeker of the paranormal to deny any concrete evidence. I would have left if I didn't have the ride back to the hotel, mind you, which the tour bus driver drove so fast and erratic that people were scared. 26$ for this nonsense was the scariest thing by far I saw on this poor excuse for a ghost tour
