“I loved this. John our guide was truly excellent. He gave us a fantastic history and culture as we walked through Valletta. He stopped at various location to highlight their significance and tell us about them. The food was great too, we had four stops and we were full at the end. We have done many food walking tours and if you like history and culture then this is for you. John was very attentive, the pace was relaxed but he crammed loads in. A really great experience. One of the best food walking tours we have done.”
