It's hard to imagine that an island the size of Malta has so much history and has been so involved, even influential at times, in world history. The island boasts an incredible legacy and as a fully licensed local Maltese guide, I am very proud and excited to share this with you. I read for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Malta in English, Archaeology and History of Mediterranean Civilization. I have worked in museums abroad during my travels: The Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago and Hershey Museum and Archives, Hershey, Pennsylvania. I volunteered with the Malta Archaeological Society and the local Notarial Archives. I am also an active member of Din L-Art Ħelwa which is the local National Trust. I decided to put all this to good use and enrolled at the Institute of Tourism Studies from where I graduated first in class in tourist guiding. History can sometimes seem like a list of disjointed and distant events, so I like to give my tours a social element although always keeping to the facts. Our predecessors were, after all, just people, like us today, eking out a living to survive on our glorious rock! University of Malta. Bachelor of Arts in English, Archaeology and History of Mediterranean Civilization. Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies, Mt Carroll, IL. Collections Care Core Curriculum. Institute of Tourism Studies, Malta. Higher National Diploma in Tourist Guiding. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    Kathryn was a fantastic tour guide! Not only was she full of interesting facts about Valetta, but she was extremely accommodating with my mobility scooter. She took us around Valetta on a 3 hour walking tour and we felt as though we got the full experience of Valetta. I would recommend Kathryn to anybody and when I next come back I will be sure to use her again!

    Our family loved this tour! Kathryn was an amazing guide, extremely knowledgable, and brought the city to life from a real archaeologist's perspective. Don't hesitate to book this right away on your first day in Malta. Thank you!

    We loved our half day walking tour with Kathryn! The tour was customized perfectly for us. Her knowledge of Malta’s archeology is very deep, and so is her Maltese/Valletta history. It was also just a pleasure spending time with her too!

    Kathryn is extremely knowledgeable and passionate. We really enjoyed our time with her and learned a lot. Her family is from Malta, and she was able to share lots of interesting stories from personal experience. We learned so much from prehistoric times to World War II. We would definitely tour with her again!
