Malta and Gozo - both islands that have offered me a variety of wonderful experiences and magical moments that will remain forever embedded in my memory. You can all read about History but it takes a passionate local to make you 'feel' the place you are visiting. This is what I would like to convey to you as your private guide and, at the same time, impress you with the thousands of years of history on our 'rocks' (as we fondly refer to them) on your private tour. I was also President of the Malta Union of Tourist Guides while also serving on the Council for many years. I have travelled the world through out my life ( in part thanks to my Dad being a Diplomat) and still travel as its also my passion. I like to think that I will highly contribute to your visit on our islands enjoyable by making it a truly enjoyable Ex experience! Guiding gives me the opportunity to 'show off' our beautiful historical and artistic treasures which vie with some of the beautiful European Cities. I studied languages, history, art and History of Architecture . I am currently finishing off my thesis for a Master in Tourism and Culture. I like to take people off the beaten track and show them places to take wonderful pictures, show them that hidden vista. Let me make your Maltese experience a truly memorable one! I guide on both Malta and Gozo and I look forward to meeting you! I have been a fully licensed guide by the Malta Tourism Authority since 1995 and involved in Tourism for over 30 years. I have attended British and American International schools which has given me a vast educational perspective. I also attended University in the United States, was President of the Malta Union of Tourist Guides and Council member for several years. Currently working on my thesis for a Masters in Tourism and Culture If it shows I am unavailable for some particular date, do still contact me as sometimes I may be booked for only part of the day and I may still be able to guide you.

Anne Marie provided us with an incredible tour. We did not want it to end. Her stories and historic perspective engaged us in the art and architecture of Valletta AND she made it fun, drawing us into the life of Valletta. We will find her again on our next visit. Thank you Anne Marie.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and conveyed the information well. She provided the information to help us understand what we were seeing in an in depth way. We concentrated our tour on the St. John Co-Cathedral which was a very good choice.

Your Valletta tour itinerary

We leave the port or a designated meeting point and head straight into to Valletta which is perched on a ridge. We visit the Upper Barrakka Gardens, walk to the former Church of the Knights Hospitaller (definitely worth visiting - entrance extra. (NOTE:Closed on Sundays) and on to Palace Square. I will then decide what you wish to add - such as Casa Rocca Piccola, the Palace and/or Knights' Armoury, War or Archaeology Museums that you may visit under you own pace.
