Great tour! - The tour was great! Our guide Chris was very handsome and funny. The food was delicious and from local restaurants and venders and originally Maltese. We walk around 3-4 km without a hurry. The group was small. We can recommend the tour to 100%.
One advice: skip breakfast at morning! The food will be enough! :-)

Best food tour ever! - Guide was so interesting and passionate about the history and food of Malta. Food was excellent. It started to rain so our guide took us to a protected area and shared some very interesting history of Malta while we ate some delicious pastries.

Great Local Flavors with a Historic Flair! - Chris was enthusiastic and a great guide! We sampled local Maltese dishes at family-run establishments all around Valletta while learning interesting bits of history as we walked. The amount of food was just right! A wonderful small group tour, highly recommended!
