This tour was fantastic. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of food and met some great people on the tour as well. Highly recommend!
Rianna_A, Jul 2026
The group was small, Karl was knowledgeable and took us to some hidden gems in Valleta that are locally owned by Maltese families - we would definitely have walked passed these places if doing the tour ourselves! There was plenty of delicious food to try so go with an empty stomach.
Minna_T, Jul 2026
We liked a lot about this experience. She knows about Malta and had many things to tell us. She was kind and good with people.

Really interesting tour, learning about some of Malta’s history and tasting the lovely food. Guide was lovely and very knowledgeable.
Loads of food, you don’t need breakfast beforehand!
Caterina_F, Jul 2026
I really wish that this tour covered more about the food of Malta. We did have some taste testing. I expected a bit more than this. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. However I didn’t really need a history tour as well as that was something I did the previous day on a Malta walkibg tour. I would’ve preferred if there was more discussion on food and a good variety.

Great food tour! Our guide was amazing and we got so much history paired with amazing food. Would highly recommend if you enjoy learning and eating.

Excellent 2.5hr tour guiding the group around Valletta with frequent stops to taste local Vallettan and Maltese food and drink.
Starting just outside the main city gate we were guided through both main thoroughfares and quieter streets to visit small local Vallettan run restaurants, coffee shop and hostelries to been given a truly delicious experience of the main delights of local food both savoury and sweet, and locally produced wine, beer and Kimmie to drink, with a midday stop at the Upper Barrakka Gardens to experience the firing of the noon gun.
This is for anyone wishing to experience an interesting and different tour of Valletta.

Nice tour with different food groups and some history thrown in. Tour leader was very amicable. But you still have to fight the crowds.
Victoria_F, Jun 2026
The food was traditional Malta cuisines from different places. As we walked, the history and sites were explained so we know what to see in the city. We loved patron in the local businesses. Great food and nice introduction to the city.

Our food tour in Valletta with Karl was absolutely fantastic! The combination of amazing historical information and authentic Maltese food made this such a special experience for our family. Many of the dishes reminded us of the food my mother and grandmother used to make, which brought back wonderful memories and made the tour even more meaningful. Karl’s passion, knowledge, and storytelling truly brought the history and culture of Malta to life. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Malta!

Shonagh_M, Apr 2026
Excellent tour. Really friendly guide. Learned lots about the history of Malta, got tips about places to visit for the rest of our stay and as for the food......there was so much! Not just little bites like on most tours, this was full snacks , drinks and finished with a full meal. All excellent from lots of local places that you could easily just walk past.
Make sure you arrive hungry!

A great experience with great food. I would definitely recommend this tour. The female tour guide I cant remember her name but she was fantastic.
Jack_S, Apr 2026
Very informative plus good food! Our tour guide was fantastic giving us a great introduction to Valletta.
Ted_S, Apr 2026
This was an excellent tour - the perfect mix of history, food, and walking. Chris moved at a perfect pace, with not too much walking but just enough to see the sights and digest in between food stops. He was very knowledgeable and shared that knowledge in an approachable and understandable way. The food was all delicious as well. He made accommodations for our kids (12 and 9) and was very conscious of food allergies in the group as well. Highly recommend this tour and Chris as a tour guide generally!
Karen_F, Apr 2026
Excellent tour, mixing history and food. Out guide was Karl who made everything fun with tales of knights of old and ancient battles.
Steph_R, Apr 2026
Very clear information re starting point of tour. Guide Chris, was so informative and friendly. We enjoyed each of the stop off points for food, all delicious and with information given about each item. We felt it was good value for money as we were 'full up' at the end.
Roger_D, Mar 2026
Karl gave us a great tour of Valletta and some great food and wine to enjoy along the way. Karl was really friendly, entertaining and provided lots of local knowledge, both current and historical. I highly recommend the tour.

Karl was a great guide, full of interesting facts about Malta and abut the food we ate. He even changed the route slightly when he discovered there was a street we specially wanted to visit. Thank you Karl!
Clive_G, Mar 2026
Carl was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who interacted individually with all 13 of us on this tour.
Nicely evenly paced with regular food stops.
Highly enjoyable and recommended.

Lovely tour! Great way to see the city and taste ALOT of local foods! It’s really well planned out and timed well! Great way to start your morning and you will be well fed! Tour guide is honestly lovely! Easy to talk to and very knowledgable- also has a passion for the food and area which is lovely to see! We done this tour, walked around and explored the city after stopping off for some drinks and then had dinner in the evening and the day worked out perfectly

Our tour with Chris was very well organized, professional, informative and delicious! We learned some history while touring around Valetta and discovered many interesting sites and restaurants that we went back to later after our tour. Thanks for the great tour, Chris!
CATHERINE_R, Mar 2026
Great way to find out about some of the main sights in Valetta whilst also enjoying a variety of local food. As a solo traveller it was also a nice way to meet up with other travellers from all over the world and share the fun of trying different food and drink and sharing the experience. Our lovely guide was very informative and amusing making this trip memorable.
