Overview of your Valletta tour

Discover the city of Vittoriosa on of the three old maritime cites - the first headquaters of the famous Knights in Malta. Walk in the streets of this medieval city to learn more about the Knights of Malta. At lunch time, we shall visit Malta's largest fishing village: Marsaxlokk, famous for its coloured boats with eyes - the eyes of Horus that protect fishermen from evil. In the afternoon, we shall discover the tiny inlet below the town of Zurrieq, stop and take a postcard picture of the Blue Grotto from the belvedere. Down by the sea fishermen offer twenty minute boat trips into a natural sea cave (the Blue Grotto) where one can see and admire corals, sponges and fish. (weather permitting) Lastly we stop at the Hagar Qim Archaeological park. You will go back in time 5000 years, when fertility worshippers created Malta's atmospheric temples.

We had two tours with Glorianne Mizzi. She was spectacularly good. She had a variety of excellent suggestions on what to do on our tours with her and was extremely knowledgeable. And she provided valuable suggestions as to what else we could see and do on our own later in the day after our tours with her. She also gave useful and needed advice on steps to take before arriving, such as where to pre-buy timed entry tickets so as to be sure of seeing the sites. Very very highly recommended.

We spent a remarkable day with Glorianne, exploring Malta's ancient history - the temples are unbelievable! Glorianne knows her country's history and shares it with wit, charm and style, bringing alive the people and events that have shaped Malta's character. She tailors the tour to respond to your interests and your own knowledge - there is no "script". Book her! Our second tour - Mdina and Rabat - was with Jeremy. He is uber knowledgeable and excited to share lots of behind-the-scenes intrigue - so fun!

We had toured Valletta with Glorianne a few years back and so enjoyed her that we set up this tour of the older part of Malta. Far less touristy with plenty of historical interest. Lovely seafood lunch by the sea. She is very knowledgeable and is actually the teacher for many of the guides. You will enjoy any tour with her.

We had a nice tour of the main island: Rabat, Mdina, fishing village (where we ate our sumptuous lunch), and the Blue Grotto. Every site was explained to us very well, thanks to Glorianne's in-depth knowledge. We enjoyed the tour.

If we could give Glorianne more stars it would be 10 out of 10. She was an amazing tour guide and was one of our favorites. We saw so much and she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Malta. We truly had a once in a lifetime experience and would recommend her to anyone who visits there. Seeing cities of the knights (Valetta), prehistoric treasures, the blue grotto and fishing villages was an experience to be remembered.
