Great tour! - We had a great experience on this tour. The food was delicious and not at all what we expected for the region. The city of Valletta is beautiful and Karl did an amazing job of explaining the local culture, history, and food. Definitely recommend!

Five Star Tour! - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. Chris is amazing. He is a fountain of knowledge and I highly recommend doing this tour if you are in Valletta. It is sensational. I could hardly believe how much food and drink was included. Chris was fantastic, so much so that I booked another tour with him the following day.

Lovely way to discover Valletta - Lovely walk around Valletta, stopping at various places to enjoy local food and wine such as Pastizzi, strawberries, Maltese coffee, chocolates, meatballs, wine and pastries. Some interesting local history and all done at a very gentle pace. We saw the noon canon fire and finished off with more food and beer at a local restaurant. Lovely size group - there were 12 of us - and local knowledgable guide who made it all so interesting and fun. Thank you Chris

Brilliant tour - it is amazing they make any money! - We had the best morning on our tour with Chris! In a small group we were lead around Valletta, taking in the tastes of the city. We had a small breakfast beforehand just in case we were only given nibbles, but we were so wrong! You certainly will not need lunch with this tour! Chris was very knowledgeable, and gave us lots of historical information. We had an amazing time. A big thank you Chris, from Arran and Laura, from Wales - we will see you again on your Rabat tour next time we are in Malta!

A must for anyone visiting Valletta - Great tour! Chris was a really brilliant guide - funny and hugely knowledgeable. Food and drinks were lovely. We got a thorough insight into Valletta/Malta history, culture and food! It was really good value for the guided tour plus all the food and drink (so full by the end!). Thanks Chris, good to meet you and find out about your country!
