“Malta with Lorraine “ - Memorable tour by Lorraine,
The meeting point was clearly noted and Lorraine was already there for us. Her descriptions were very clear and concise. Everyone in the group heard her.
She was brilliant with the deep knowledge of Malta’s history.
Lorraine was very easy with questions and personable with everyone.
We would book her again for sure.

Probably the Best Walking Tour I have Ever Done - With any city break, we try to book a walking tour and so glad we found Christian and his tour of Valletta. Nice small friendly group and such a wonderful and interesting tour of the city. So much information was given and Christian really knows this place - he is passionate about his subject and ensures you have a laugh along the way.
The tour was excellent - we joined him for a beer afterwards and booked another tour as well.

Fun and informative small group Valletta Walking Tour - Chris took the time to understand his small tour group by name and wove us all into his historic stories of Valletta. He showed how history is still relevant today but with humorous delivery.
He even accommodated a few latecomers without inconveniencing the rest of us which showed his dedication to his customers.
It made us want to return to Malta to explore Valletta more. Would recommend this trip (and any other tours he does) to anyone visiting Malta

Fantastic tours by Chris - We did Chris’ 3 cities tour in the morning and enjoyed it so much we decided to book on to his Valletta tour in the afternoon. Chris was kind enough to offer us a lift to Valletta when he saw us at the bus stop. Chris is very knowledgeable and a great storyteller, both tours were very interesting and he took the time to get to know everyone. The pace was comfortable so no one was left behind and he’d always ensure to point out good spots for pictures and step aside as to not photobomb them. This was a great way to see Valletta if you have a short amount of time and don’t know where to go, and the stories were entertaining as well! Thank you Chris for a brilliant day!

An outstanding tour thanks to our guide, who took the trouble to get to know his group and gave an insightful analysis of the hi - We were contacted the day before with easy to follow meeting instructions. We had a small group, and our guide took the trouble to introduce everyone and tailor the tour to his party. As well as seeing the major sights, we had an insight into Maltese life and customs and the messages of their history for the current era. We were given lots of recommendations for places to see and eat, several of which we were able to follow up.

Great tour for beginning of the trip! - Great walking tour. Our guide is Chris who is very knowledgeable and passionate about valletta. We learned the history of Malta and Chris also recommended restaurants and food to try which is wonderful for our trip. Meeting place is easy to spot, just need to sit at the round stone seats in front of the tourist information centre where guide will hold up a signage.
