Hi, I am Victoria and a licensed tourist guide. I am Maltese, born and bred here and I love these islands with a passion. There is no better way than to explore your way around with a local guide. My enthusiasim is contagious and I can relate childhood experiences, stories, legends and customs to make your visit a memorable one. I can show you not only the usual cultural highlights but also the Maltese Islands' hidden treasures, such as atmospheric alleys, unique shops, and the quirky details whilst stopping to take the perfect photo or popping into the shops or cafes while you may savour the local traditional food. Together we can walk back in time while appreciating the present daily way of life and what as Maltese we aspire for our future. My experience in guiding is extensive from providing commercial to corporate private tours. I had the pleasure to guide the heads of state, during the 19th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held in Malta in 2005. Among other discerning personalities were Tiziano Ferro, Peter Andre' and Pedro Andrade. I have been involved in the tourism industry for almost 20 years. Contact me to arrange your memorable visit to Malta or Gozo. I look forward to welcoming you to my wonderful Islands.

Overview of your Valletta tour

Please message me before you make a booking. While touring around our beautiful islands visitors enjoy discovering the unknown and savouring the local traditional food. Join me on this captivating journey on foot and by boat around Malta's major highlights. Marsaxlokk is a small laid back fishing village famous for the local market where stalls are set up on daily basis. Its coastline is surrounded by the traditional and colourful fishing boats called 'Luzzu" Vittoriosa also known as Birgu is one of the well known 'Three Cities' which attribute their charm to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. A city older than the other. The stories of the harbour and the winding streets take you back in time, yet have been kept alive by our local traditions, food and culture.
