Welcome! My name is Victoria and I live in Gharghur, North East of Malta. I am a licensed, professional tour guide since 2005. For several years I have been informing and entertaining visitors from across the country and around the world about the sights and history of our beautiful country. Tour guiding was always my dream. At school, history was always my favourite subject and visiting places of interest was my biggest pleasure. I fulfilled my dream when I was 17 years. I was accepted by the Malta Tourism Institute to participate in the Tour Guiding Course. After 2 years of an intensive full time course, the Malta Tourism Authority had recognized me as one of its qualified guides. Being a tour guide is an exciting job that introduces you to people and places average travelers and tourists never experience, but it also requires solid skills and knowledge. To ensure this, I participate in various seminars and events in my field. Recently, I participated in a tourism-related EU funded project, consisting of an intensive course equivalent to the level of a Diploma in Tourism Management. I will be more than happy to help you plan your holiday or show you the most interesting places in the Maltese Islands, either by visiting the oldest free-standing temples in the world, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Valletta, the medieval town of Mdina, the island of Gozo steeped in tradition, or by following one of the many nature trails. Besides the popular traditional tours I also offer a number of excellent themed itineraries for all the different types of groups and ages and have been recommended by many including National Geographic. Together we can design a programme which suits your interests best. I have a passion for where I live and I have many ideas for exciting trips that I could take you on. I look forward to meeting you!

Discover the historic charm of Malta's capital city Valletta and the neighboring Three Cities. Valletta known for its 16th century architecture, historic fortifications, and stunning views over the Grand Harbour. Stroll along the main streets admiring the baroque style buildings and landmarks like the Grand Master's Palace, St. John's Co-Cathedral, and the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Delve into the city's rich history as your guide shares stories of the Knights of St. John, the European elites who once called Valletta home, and the role it played in battles over the centuries. Next, head across the harbor to explore maritime city of Vittoriosa. These fortified city date back hundreds of years and offer a glimpse into Malta's maritime heritage. Wander the narrow streets, visit historic churches, and take in panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. Along the way, you'll see the iconic Fort St. Angelo, once the headquarters of the Knights of St. John.
Embark the traditional Maltese boat for an approximately 30-minute trip within the harbor. Stop in the city of Vittoriosa for a guided tour of the city. Vittoriosa houses the Malta Maritime Museum and the only remaining Inquistior's Palace which can be both visited. Embark the boat again to Valletta and take the continue to the Baracca Gardens and St. John's Co-Cathedral. (Visit is optional) No shoulderless tops, stiletto shoes or shorts are allowed inside the Co-Cathedral. Continue on foot to the Grand Master's Palace or Casa Rocca Picolla. (Visit is optional). There may be occasions without any prior notice when either the Co-Cathedral or the Magisterial Palace is closed due to official functions. If this should occur, a visit to the Palace Armory and/or the National Museum of Archaeology can be done. At this stage the tour will end and I can escort you back to the ship. You may choose to remain in Valletta for independent sightseeing. A map highlighting your way back to the ship will be provided.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
We will take a boat and also do some walking.
