Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our Malta food tour with our wonderful guide, Victoria. From the very first stop, she made us feel welcome and instantly connected us to the heart of Maltese culture through its incredible cuisine. We sampled everything from warm, flaky pastizzi to fresh Ħobż tal-Malti bread, each bite rich with tradition and flavor. The heavenly Maltese desserts were pure indulgence, and washing it all down with Kinnie (a uniquely Maltese soft drink) and a locally brewed beer was the perfect touch. What truly set this tour apart was how Victoria wove in fascinating historical anecdotes between tastings, often connecting them to the beautiful architecture we passed along the way. Every stop felt like a step back in time, with flavors that told stories of the island’s vibrant history and culture. If you want to experience Malta in the most delicious, authentic, and memorable way possible, this tour is an absolute must—and if you’re lucky enough to have Victoria as your guide, you’re in for a treat!"
"Victoria was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and overall a pleasure to have our tour with. Her flexibility allowed us to tailor the day with what interested us, but she still made sure we saw all of the things we shouldn’t miss. The ability to skip the lines and get in and out was worth the price alone. "
"It was easy to arrange details with Victoria in advance for our tour and such a delight to be guided by such a knowledgeable (history culture and food) person. We loved the anecdote about her grandmother's warning!"

"This was an amazing experience. It's private, interesting, educational and our guide, Victoria, was engaging and wonderful. She tied in the history of Malta while showcasing local food and beverage. She also gave us several recommendations for after the tour. I would encourage anyone to take this tour, with Victoria, and try the local goodies. "
"We had a great time with Victoria, as she showed us Valetta, told us about the history and let us taste Maltese specialities. She also adjusted the tour based what we had seen and tasted before. Victoria is very easy-going, and made the two hours an excellent experience. She`s very knowledgeable, and gave us great tips for the rest of our stay. I highly recommend tours with Victoria!"
"Our first full day in Valletta and Victoria took us around the city to learn about its history and taste some traditional foods. Victoria was very engaging and we now feel like we have a proper understanding of the key historical points of the City. We also tasted some excellent local specialities and got some great restaurant recommendations. Great way to orientate yourself if you are spending a few days here."
"Victoria was a great guide, sharing history of the area and the food as we walked around Valletta. Of particular note was the library and the band rooms, little cafes and centres for the community to gather. We never would have found some of these places without a local guide. Totally worthwhile experience."
"Our culinary tastes walk with Victoria started with meeting outside the main court building on Republic Street. We strolled and were told about the early history of Malta and some of the impressive buildings built by the Knights Templar and later occupiers of the islands, we then tried our first local speciality pastizzi a filo envelope filled with chicken or ricotta style cheese a three bite delicious snack from a little bake shop.in a side street we then moved on to a small bar/cafe called the Museum cafe,where we had a local sourdough sandwich (fcira) filled with tuna, salad beans,tomato and tomato paste,onion, capers and sliced onion. Delicious and very popular with locals and visitors We also tried a local bean curd paste and cheese with a pepper coating. All delicious and well worth seeking out.We walked on with loads more information on the work.of the Knights Templar building grand houses and churches, passed close to the Cathedral of St John and the to another little shop to taste a honey based treat popular with locals which we chose to have boxed for later in the day. Next back to Republic Street and the very posh Caffe Cordina a lovely cafe styled on the great Vienna coffee shops, must with posing citizens and their patisserie called cannoli o pastry tube filled with sweet cheese or a pistachio curd very yummy! Our final stroll.psst more impressive Templar built palaces used by the government to our last stop 'The Pub' in Archbishop Street famous for a very blow away visit by Oliver Reed when filming 'Gladiator ' which resulted in a fatal excess of liquid joy! A quirky place to end our excellent tour with a glass of the local beer."
"We loved our tour. Victoria adapted immediately to our place, she was very knowledgeable and took us to some of the best restaurants of our trip. We returned to them later in the week for more great food. She also helped us orient ourselves to the different areas of Valetta. Thank you, Victoria!"
"Victoria has great knowledge about Valletta an its history. I got dizzy by all the mentioned celebrations and all matching food. We walked around the center and tasted food at the places for the locals, curiously little other tourist at the spots. Certainly no tourist food! Luckily we found a cooking book with the tasted snacks. Now we are going to try to replicate the good feeling of Malta. Thank you Victoria, a walk to remember. We had great fun!"
