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 booking. If you love ancient cities and architecture join me on this tour. You will enjoy its captivating history, its legends, and tales at a relaxed pace. The pathways between the buildings add to the mystery. I intrigue your curiosity to discover with me the stories told and those written over so many years. Mdina is small but it is a gem of a city surrounded by what is sacred and profane, beyond and behind its military walls, its dungeons, and noble palaces. Yet the stories continue outside these walls. Rabat is a charming old town but with its Roman eerie catacombs, the famous grotto of St. Paul and its underground WWII shelters, these stories were kept alive over the centuries. To add to its rich history the varied architectural styles are mind-blowing and unique. Dates of Public Holidays and religious feasts in this area with decorated streets for the special occasion; St. Paul's - 10th February St Joseph - 19th March St. Joseph The worker - 1st May L-Imnarja 29th June.
