“We visited Malta as part of a cruise and was able to save some money by using Viator with a private tour. Our Guide met us at the Port and began sharing very interesting information about Malta as soon as we closed the doors to the van. We were a party of six; two of us have visited Malta before, but four had not. We discussed the best places to visit with the Guide so that the four would get a good idea of what Malta has to offer. He listened to our questions and gave complete answers. As the day went on, he realized that we may be running…”

“Our family of 6 enjoyed our day with Francesca, our guide. My husband and I were married in Malta 47 years ago, so it was on our bucket list to visit the island we were married on. We visited Valletta on our own while we were waiting for our guide. Then we visited Mdina, Rabat, and took a boat ride to the Blue Grotto.

“Marissa with City Walking Tours Malta was fabulous. We were on a cruise and she met us at the port and we were fortunate to have only 6 of us on the tour. She was great in maneuvering us through the crowds and finding shady spots to talk about the sights.
