After graduating in European Studies from the University of Malta, I pursued a Masters Degree in Diplomatic Studies, earning honours in both. I embarked on a career in tourism and held the post of President of the Malta Union of Tourist Guides for six years. I was also a board member on the European Federation of Tourist Guide Associations and a board director on the Malta Tourism Authority. I am a lecturer of International Relations at the University of Malta; a Tourist Guide Trainer and Examiner at the Institute of Tourism Studies, and an active tour guide (since 1995). I have been honoured to guide Head of States, Ministers, Diplomats and Royal envoys and equally honoured to design and conduct tours for visitors and the general public.

Overview of your Valletta tour

This tours stands to bring to life the ordeal which the brave people of Malta and their defenders have endured during the dark days of the Malta Blitz (1940-43) in the Second World War. This walking tour starts from the entrance of Valletta (unless otherwise requested) and proceeds towards the War Rooms and finishes at Fort St Elmo (the National War Museum). The highlight of this tour is the visit to the 'ultra secret' complex of underground tunnels and chambers from where the British forces took care of the defence of Malta and where in July 1943, General Eisenhower and his Supreme Commanders Admiral Cunningham, Field Marshal Montgomery and Air Marshal Tedder coordinated the famous Operation Husky - the Invasion of Sicily.
