I was born in Moscow, USSR but for the last 30 years, my home is Malta. In Moscow, I graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and in Malta, I took a guiding course at the Institute of Tourism Studies and got the guiding license in 1997. Showing Malta to tourists is not just work - I simply love to take people to different places and help them to discover another Malta, which is not shown in many guidebooks. The Maltese archipelago is very small and some call Malta a "toy country", but, believe me, there is so much to see! The history of these islands goes back to prehistoric times and we are talking about more than 7000 years of history. Why not spend a couple of hours visiting one or two Neolithic Temples? And then, of course, there is Valletta - the city built by the Knights of St. John - with beautiful palaces and churches. Do you prefer medieval times? Then it's the old capital Mdina with its charming narrow streets and houses of local noblemen. There are a lot of other places to visit, so together we can select the most interesting ones and I will create a unique tour just for you.

Overview of your Valletta tour

We will start our tour in Mdina, which was the capital of the island from prehistoric times. Malta was ruled by many - Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards and all of them left their marks in Mdina. Today Mdina is a charming mix of different eras and styles with narrow streets and medieval piazzas, palaces of Maltese nobility and small chapels, bastions, and the majestic Cathedral of St. Paul. For me, Mdina is a living decoration for a historical film, because there are no decorations needed here - everything is ready, just waiting for the actors to come out. Valletta is a completely different experience - everything here is grand and monumental because the city was laid in 1566 as a showpiece of the power of the Knights of St. John. You will see beautiful palaces and auberges, admire the Grand Harbour view from Upper Barrakka Gardens, and visit St. John's Co-Cathedral (entrance fee extra)
