Welcome to Malta. The jewel in the heart of the Mediterranean sea. Join me for this half-day tour in one of the most historical Harbour district in the world. The Grand Harbour of Malta and the cities that surround it. Imagine what these forts could speak about if only they can talk, so I will tell you some. We'll also go for a short ride on "Luzzu" a typical and traditional Maltese boat, for a short crossing that will take us to & from Valletta on the other side of the Harbour. Together we will discover the beauty and charm of probably the most fortified Capital city in the world and also Citta Vittoriosa or "Birgu" as known to the locals. Let me tell you about the Knight of the Order of St. John, once a Religious & Military order, and the Ottomans Empire who tried to conquer Malta during the Great Siege of 1565, and Malta's participation to WW 1 & WW 2. Why me? My tours are not a history lesson but a mix of fun and information, join me for a memorable experience of my beautiful Malta.
We knew nothing about Malta but we sure do now! Robert was the best! He made the tour so interesting and we learned so much! He even bought us freshly made local pastries to taste. We enjoyed the little boats between the cities and seeing a neighborhood with all the lovely doors. Our arrival and leaving time for our ship kept changing and Robert was very flexible about making these changes. If you are thinking about doing this tour you SHOULD!
Robert is a fantastic tour guide! He went above and beyond and was extremely flexible with our schedule and request! Highly recommend him!
Our tour today with Robert was excellent. He is not only knowledgeable but a pleasure to spend time with. Our group of 8 found him most interesting and we would highly recommend him to anyone.
Due to personal reason, I could not attend tour. However my family (group of 12) returned from tour delighted and with nothing but wonderful things to say about Robert and the actual tour experience. Robert, thank you for everything.
Robert is an excellent guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a lovely personality
We all loved Robert as a guide. So very knowledgeable! This tour made us like Malta and the area the best of anyplace we went. We all would go back because of Robert. We did have a small accident and needed some first aide. He knew where to get supplies and how to use them., an extra plus ! He is an exceptional guide.
