Welcome to a mindful journey through Malta with me. My name is Petra, and I’ve called this
beautiful island home since 1993. Originally planning a short stay, I quickly fell in love with
Malta’s rich culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes.

I became a licensed guide in 2000 and over the years I’ve expanded my expertise by studying
yoga, breathwork, and meditation, which I now integrate into my tours to offer a
truly unique and mindful experience.

With guiding available in English, German, and Dutch, my tours are designed to connect you
deeply with Malta’s essence. Whether you are seeking a tranquil experience or a customized
itinerary, I’m here to craft a journey that nourishes mind, body and soul.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, yoga, sailing, crafts, reading, and scuba diving.

Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Malta’s cultural treasures, was famously described as "a city built by gentlemen, for gentlemen." It stands as a masterpiece of history, art, and architecture, offering a unique blend of charm and grandeur.

Join me on a walking tour through the vibrant streets of Malta's capital, where we’ll delve into the city's rich past and lively present. We'll explore Valletta from a fresh perspective, uncovering its highlights in a thoughtful and mindful way. From its grand auberges and majestic churches to its serene gardens and bustling squares, we’ll take in Valletta's iconic landmarks while also appreciating the subtle beauty that often goes unnoticed.

You'll experience the energy of the city without feeling overwhelmed, learning how to engage with its art and history on a deeper level. This tour is designed not just to inform, but to inspire, leaving you with lasting impressions of Valletta’s rich culture, architecture, and atmosphere.
