Great tourguide, delicious food, insightful stories - Our guide Chris is very cheerful, warm and a very engaging guide. He gave us Malta history, stories of the buildings, orientation of Valetta while we enjoy eating Maltese food such as different kind of pastizzi, maltese coffee and choc, polpette, wine, kinney, tuna sandwich, potatoes etc. We were so full by the time it ended and we are all smiling The group is small about 10 to 12 so we also got to talk to each other. I hope all tourguides is like Chris

Excellent intro to the history, sights and tastes of Valletta - Chris was our guide for this tour which was a brilliant mix of history, sociology and Maltese cuisine! Chris's style ensured that we all gained a good understanding of the history of Valletta and Malta, while getting a sense of the impact of history on the food.

Excellent guide -Great History - our guide Karl was amazing he knew so much history and was really excited about it. Pace was good, there is a lot of walking. Maltese food (coffee, soft drink) definitely has a different spice.

Underwhelming food experience - My partner and I did this food tour on 29/11/24. For context, we have done a few food tours on other holidays elsewhere recently. Although we got to sample some traditional Maltese foods, the tour overall was disappointing. Key issues for us were: We expected that in between stops for food and drink, we would be told something about the history of Malta and introduced to some of its landmarks and sights. However, on this tour, there was too much focus on this, so much so that it felt more like a walking tour, until the final stop for lunch. The breadth and quality of the food and drink experience was on the whole underwhelming. For example, besides some pastizzis at the start of the tour, we had no hot food. For 50 cents each, we had far better pastizzis elsewhere. For 45 euros each (i.e. for almost the same price as this tour) we had a seven course tasting menu, which was a far better and more complete experience of traditional Maltese cuisine.
