A tour not to be missed
Chris_B, October 2026
A brilliant walking tour of Valletta. Christian the guide had a wealth of knowledge and was really interesting. Going in a small group was so beneficial as you could hear everything being said and enjoy the humour too! We saw things and were given information that we would never have known if we had been on our own. A tour not to be missed and we highly recommend it.

A great walking tour at the right pace. Very informative, interesting and Christian has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Malta. We learned details about Valletta which we would never have known if we had been on our own. A huge benefit is the small group, so you can hear everything being said and enjoy the humour too! A tour not to be missed and we would highly recommend to other visitors.

He gave us lots of good information. We learned so much in a short time .
I would highly recommend this walking tour for your first day In Valletta, it will give you a good insight on the landmarks and attractions, plus you will babble to work out the walking routes through quieter streets
