A full-day Malta loop from Valletta to limestone quarries, UNESCO temples, and Marsaxlokk, with lunch and an optional Blue Grotto boat ride.
“I was very interested especially in the temple and the Limestone heritage experience. I loved the whole trip. The guide was great, and we were a group only with English and Spanish.

I also loved the possibility that we could take the boat trip to…”
3.5-hour Valletta food tour with coffee, ftira, traditional plates with Maltese wine, and chocolate, plus UNESCO-era history on foot.
“This tour was both extremely informative in terms of the history of Valletta, as well as full of delicious foods! We received generous portions at each stop, and they were spaced out appropriately to allow us to digest. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Malta, although he was a bit shy and not super talkative while we were sitting down to eat.”
A 3-hour private Valletta walking tour focused on fortifications, Knights of Malta landmarks, optional cathedral and palace visits, and great viewpoints.
“Chris was an awesome guide who presented a lot of information in a dynamic manner the tour was well paced but managed to provide time for coffee”
