A highly recommended food and city tour of Valletta

Steven_H, Oct 2025

A very informative and interesting tour whilst sampling lovely local foods. Our guide, Josianne was very knowledgeable and personable. A great tour.

Gianni, Maltas Ambassador!

Marinel_M, Aug 2025

Gianni was the best. His knowledge about his home country was remarkable. He was proud to share in the rich cultural heritage of the various influences other countries brought to the culinary industry in Malta. From the sweet and savory pastizzi to the traditional rabbit and assortment of caponata, the food was delicious. We are grateful for the experience and for the company.

Wonderful Food Tour

James_D, Oct 2024

Romina was a wonderful guide. Learned so much about Malta and we visited restaurants that the locals go to. Highly recommend.

Private tasting tour exceeded our expectations-truly wonderful

Barbara_J, Oct 2024

Chris, our guide, gave us a full story of Valletta and Malta history while showing us this beautiful city. Our food samples ranged from local beverages and yummy pastries/sweets, to a full meal of the local/national rabbit stew. Most importantly he was considerate of my husband's limited mobility and adjusted our tasting to a smaller circle, but still included all of the special tastes and incredible beautiful sites of this city.

Wonderful private food tour in Valetta

Carol_C, May 2024

Karl provided us with a thoroughly delightful private Food Tour in Valletta Malta! His knowledge of local history is second to none, and he absolutely knew what places to visit to sample all the local specialties. We enjoyed the local drink Kinnie, pastizzi with ricotta cheese and mushy peas, imqarat pastry filled with date paste, Bragioli, rabbit, and a delicious ice cream made with sweetened condensed milk. Oh, and did I mention the wine? It was great! Probably the most fun item were the strawberries that Karl picked up from the green grocer in a plastic bag filled with water and these 4 huge strawberries! But even better than the food was the opportunity to spend a delightful 4 hours with such a truly nice person. We bumped into two other tourists from Australia who had used Karl as a guide earlier in the week and they raved about him, that’s when you know someone is really good! I definitely recommend this tour, whether it’s your first time in Malta or someone like us who have been there before and wanted a new experience. 5 STARS!!!!!

Wonderful tour and guide, BOOK THIS TOUR!!!

Shari_W, Apr 2024

Fabulous walking food tour of Malta!! Chris was a wonderful tour guide, with so much historical information of this beautiful city. He stopped at all the spots we wanted to see and learn about, and provided so many great nibbles along the way. We ended with a wonderful Maltese Dinner at an authentic restaurant away from the tourists!! You will not regret booking this tour with Chris!!!

The tastes of Malta at their best!

Rebecca_C, Mar 2024

Romina was an excellent tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Malta which we appreciated. The food tour did not disappoint. We had an array of traditional food in very picturesque and authentic venues. It was delightful from start to finish!
