★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Excellent tour
102cherylp, October 2026
Our guide, Douglas, was excellent. Very knowledgable & he delivered the information with some humour. If he didn’t know the answer to any questions from the group, then he seemed to manage to find them out very quickly.

Fantastic experience with Douglas from Colour My Travel
Fujia, October 2026
Douglas was our guide from Colour My Travel. He was a superb guide and made the day a memorable one. His knowledge of Malta and its history was vast and he peppered his talks with humour endeared the tour crowd to him and he held our attention throughout. Can’t thank him enough for making it an amazing 3hrs
★★★★★Viator review
Perfect tour of Valletta
Anita_M, October 2026
This is the best walking tour I have ever been on. Our guide, Matteo, was not only kind and helpful, but also extremely knowledgeable and well-prepared. Each part of the tour made sense and was accompanied by a solid explanation (not too much and not too little), with a touch of humour. While the tour covered onlyl the central part of Valletta due to the time constraint, Matteo told us enough about other parts (for example, Mdina, the inside of the cathedral, and 3 cities) and how exactly to get there and other tips. I felt that this was such a great start to my exploration of the city and recommend it to any first-timers in Valletta.
