Michelle | Licensed Guide | Art History Specialist | into archeology, art & cuisine Welcome! I’m Michelle, a local licensed guide with an academic background in Art History and Hospitality. I specialize in the central Mediterranean heritage of Malta and Gozo, offering an authentic look at our history—from Baroque art and the Knights of Malta to 5,000-year-old prehistoric temples and megalithic sites. ~ Bespoke Private Tours and Shore Excursions ~ My customizable private tours of Malta and Gozo feature UNESCO World Heritage sites and 17th-century baroque architecture to medieval and 19th century. Whether exploring the fortified walls of Valletta, viewing Caravaggio’s masterpieces at St. John’s Co-Cathedral, or visiting the Silent city of Mdina s medieval streets, my private tour and shore excursion itineraries always focus on your interests. My itineraries often include the salt sellers at Marsaxlokk Fish Market and villages close to the Blue Grotto, and the prehistoric art from the ancient megalith temples of Ġgantija and Ħaġar Qim temples. My tours have been the choice of corporate companies, international media, diplomats, and cruise guests seeking more than a standard Malta excursion. ~ Customized Experiences ~ Every private tour or shore excursion of Malta and Gozo is customized to your interests, from artisan shopping for Malta lace , ceramics or blown glass to seasonal honey apiaries and olive presses and Sunday morning atmosphere of a local summer village "festa". My tours can include visits artists' studios, and exhibitions like the Malta Biennale 2026, ensuring ample time for art-history discussion and local connection. ~ Transport and Comfort ~ for vehicles moving us around, I collaborate with vetted local transport companies and professional drivers. My tours utilize diverse modes: guided walking, high-speed city elevators, and air-conditioned European vehicles—ranging from electric sedans and Ford people carriers to premium luxury models. For a traditional touch, I incorporate traditional ‘daghajsa’ ferry boats (gondola wooden type ferry) harbor crossings, the Gozo Fast Ferry, or vintage buses for large groups. Available for half-day and full-day private tours and shore excursions of Malta and Gozo from the Valletta Cruise Port or your hotel. Please message me to customize an itinerary to your specific interests.

Michelle is an outstanding guide. She brings Malta alive and seems to know everything about its history, art and culture. She immediately makes one feel at ease and it seems one is traveling with a friend. She quickly adapts the tour to your interests. We took her tour for those who have some mobility issues as one of us was not able to walk up inclines or a lot of steps (a common thing to find in Valletta). It was perfect and we were able to see a lot that would have not been possible otherwise. If you want to get a complete view and understanding of Malta you must have her be your guide.
We had a fabulous private custom tour with Michelle! Michelle was a fabulous guide who kept our 9 and 14 year old daughters engaged. We loved how flexible she was in making sure we had an amazing day in Malta.
