One of the better food tours I've been to in Europe. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and had great suggestions for things to see and do around Malta. Mdina and Rabat are beautiful and must-sees. And of course the food is delicious!

Fantastic introduction to Maltese food!

Really lovely tour of Mdina and Rabat by a local Chris, a fantastic guy who is passionate about food and about sharing his country's culture and history with visitors. Very informative and I left very full!

Chris was great! He...

Chris was great! He messaged the night before to make sure no one had allergies. He knew the area well, as his family has lived there since the 1400s. He really tried to pay attention to things my friend and I were taking photos of to show us similar things. So much attention to detail. He really made it special.

Traditional food with a touch of history!

This was a great tour. Small and personal with only 6 participants in the group. Bridgette was a delight. We were lucky to be in Rabat on the eve of the festa, so we got to see the set up of the flags and lights and see the locals come together as one. The food was plentiful. Stop one: Pasitizzi & Kinnie ( best pasitizzi's in Malta) Stop two: Maltese coffee and fresh fruit Stop three: maltese platter Stop four: rabbit stew, bragoli, roast potatoes and veggies, Maltese bread, wine imqaret This tour is definitely worth a try if you want traditional food and history too.
