Review of Malta’s Lazy Pirate boat party, with an open bar, DJ, snacks, sunset sailing, and a moonlight swim from Sliema.
“We were a group of 5 girls, we really enjoyed the experience overall. Drinks were good and there was good music. The swim stop wasn’t great if you specifically want to swim but it’s fine for what it it. The only negative was the security got very aggressive with one of my friends when she was trying to find the rest of the group, swearing and pushing her.”

“I almost always book a food tour when I travel, and this one did not disappoint. It’s a great way to kick off your Malta experience—exploring Valletta while learning about the island’s history and sampling quintessential treats like pastizzi, Kinnie, and honey rings. The pace was just right, with time at each stop to enjoy the food and chat with other guests if you’d like. Our guide, Ernest, was animated, informative, and made the experience lively and engaging. Considering the planning and coordination behind a tour like this, I found it well worth it.”

“Amazing activity and great value for money! We got to taste 3 Maltese wines, one Chardonnay, one Rosé and one Mescato (I think it was spelled) along with 3 delicious foods to accompany it. Bruschetta, a meat and cheese board and finally small fresh little biscuits that were so good I asked for more to take away with me. The staff were so insightful especially as two people who have never done any sort of wine tour/tasting before. It was amazing value, an amazing experience in an absolute stunning location.
