“Great whistle stop around Valetta eating what Malta is famous for and with a rich history lesson too from our knowledgeable guide. I loved the tuna sandwich at the little street side restaurant where we felt like we were going to slide down the hill. The rabbit terrine was delicious, it was a modern twist on a Maltese classic. The only thing I would do differently is eat the dessert last instead of first.”

“Great tour and a very good way to get your bearings on Valetta and learn some of the history you could miss out on otherwise. Generous portions of food, my only suggestion is make sure you bring plenty of water or prepare to buy as many of the stops are outside or when you do stop indoors the drinks are assigned (wine, coffee etc). It didn't affect the experience for us though :)”
