Hi, my name is Marthese and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and my love for my country with visitors from all over the world. I was born and brought up in my beloved island, Malta. Having followed my passion for history and languages, I have studied tourist guiding at the Malta Institute of Tourism Studies and I obtained my guiding license back in 2004. Thus I have been guiding now for over 13 years. In my guiding experience, it had been a great pleasure to guide loads of cruise passengers, individual tourists, families, conferences, incentives and I had also the opportunity to guide journalists, ministers and important delegations. Throughout this time, I have always said, that I couldn't chose myself another profession, as I love Malta so much and I feel honoured to meet people from all over the world and to share my passion for my country with them. Apart from the tours listed below, I can also customise a tour according to your interests and needs. I look forward to hearing from you and to assist you in making sure, you'll get a memorable stay in Malta! Looking forward to meeting you !

Overview of your Valletta tour

Join me on this delightful half day excursion to learn what a typical day would be like for the Maltese people in the south of the island and explore a few of the remaining unspoilt villages through their winding roads and alleys which lead us to a typical Maltese piazza where progress did not leave its mark. This is one of the most interesting tours in Malta, taking you to Marsaxlokk, the Prehistoric temples of Hagar Qim and the Blue Grotto where you will have the opportunity (weather permitting) to take a boat ride around the various caves surrounding the area. A complete and interesting trip which one should not miss!

What a lovely day in southern Malta! We did this tour as a shore excursion in Valletta. Marthese was a perfect guide gave us so much information about the area. Our time in port was short, but Marthese's well-timed itinerary gave us a wonderful taste of what Malta has to offer. We were able to see the Blue Grotto and spend some time on our own taking photos. Next was the Hagar Qim Temple. Marthese toured us through the museum and the temple site. It is simply amazing and brought to life by Marthese. Our last stop was Marsaxlokk. What a cute town with all the brightly colored fishing boats. We know that we will be coming back to Malta for more exploration and will definitely be using Marthese as our guide again.

Unfortunately we lost a lot of time due to traffic jams on the way on Friday afternoon. Nevertheless, Marthese managed to present the 3 locations sufficiently well in the short time. She shone with well-founded expertise and gave us the best boat guide to the Blue Grotto.

Marthese was wonderful! Very comprehensive. Lots of interesting information about Malta including the history and the people. We had plenty of time to soak everything in without ever feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Marthese for any tours of Malta!

Your Valletta tour itinerary

Our tour will start with Marsaxlokk, which is a popular fishing village in the southern-eastern part of Malta. It is a quaint fishing village, characterised by its colourful traditional fishing boats, known as 'il-Luzzu'. We continue later our tour with a visit to the Blue Grotto, where weather permitting one can do a boat trip around these natural caves (boat trip ticket is not included). One has the opportunity to admire here the whole expanse of the beautiful Mediterranean sea. We will visit at the end of the tour the Hagar Qim temple, a Unesco World Heritage site. The Megalithic temples in Malta are considered to be the oldest freestanding monuments in the world, older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids.
