    See outside of Valletta

    KATRINA_R, Jul 2026
    This was a really awesome experience. I ended up in a small group, which meant we could use a small van and wind through small streets easily. For a single day to explore outside Valletta, I would say this hit everything. And if you have any chance, DO the Blue Grotto. Bring 10 euro cash. Sit on the left side of the boat for the best pictures. Our guide, Christian, who is a native, gave us all sorts of information, and knew so many people as we wandered the streets. More like when you show visiting family your town than an impersonal guide. The lunch was also outstanding, highly recommend all the authentic Maltese options (although french fries with rabbit being authentic still seems odd...) Rabat and Mdina were both interesting historically. Personally I preferred the Grotto/catacombs/WWII shelters in Rabat. So much history in one location. While not part of this tour, I learned Valletta would be having a religious festival and procession of an icon that evening, and so I went out and saw that too. I would never had known without his knowledge though.

    Great guide and wonderful sites to see

    Great tour and wonderful guide. Christian was very knowledgeable and made sure he gave us all the historical and cultural information about each site. Due to bad weather we were not able to board a boat to see the lagoon up close but that is not the tours fault. Be prepared to walk a bit in some places. The lunch was ok, you had a choice between Maltese charcuterie board and pasta with Maltese sausage for appetizer, and for the mains it was between rabbit and fish. We went during Holy Week so the churches were preparing for festivities, which were really cool!

    Chris was my guide. He...

    Chris was my guide. He had lived there all his life, been a big part of local events and he brought things from the past to life at every turn. He was incredible! I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
