    Just finished our fantastic food, walking and historic Valletta tour. One of the best experiences we’ve had on this kind of excursion. Marisa was so knowledgeable and pleasant and really made it so worthwhile. Food was in abundance, so have a light breakfast before you go. Thoroughly recommended. Quick tip, if coming in from outside Valletta, leave in plenty of time, our public bus was slightly late and we almost missed the tour.

    The tour was brilliant. Our guide, Nadine, was very clear and obviously wanted us to enjoy the experience. We learnt more about Valletta whilst also having the opportunity to visit local outlets to sample local foods and drinks, which were delicious. The whole experience rounded out with a three course lunch, which we were not expecting, but it was lovely. The only thing I'd improve is the instructions on where to meet - we found it a bit difficult to find the meeting point to start the tour.
