Interesting and amusing guide who told us the fascinating history of Valletta and Malta - Would thoroughly recommend this tour. Small numbers and earpieces so that you don't miss anything. A very good idea as Valletta can be very busy with other tourist groups! Our guide was interesting and amusing to listen to and we learnt so much!

Great tour with good mix of topics - Very enjoyable tour by (if I'm remembering!) Angela, with a good mix of information about history, both social and political, modern life in the city, architecture, and humour. It also has plenty of points to stop and sit and listen, which we appreciated as this was our fifth and final day in Malta so our feet were in bits!
