This tour was an excellent introduction to Valletta as well as the history of Malta in general. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, you could tell that he is passionate about sharing his knowlege and the food that he loves. He had a great sense of humour which made the tour more enjoyable. The small group size worked really well, I will definitely look for small group tours in the future. It was great to learn about the local history whilst trying authentic Maltese food & drink - the coffee and pastizzi were highlights for me. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Malta.
