Dear traveler. Thank you for showing an interest in visiting our beautiful islands. Being born and raised in The Netherlands, my first visit to Malta was in 1988. I fell in love with the islands (and with a Maltese man. . . ) and moved here permanently in 1990. I have a diploma in Tourism Studies and have always worked in this industry, which I love. I furthered my studies to become an official Tourist Guide and obtained my license in 2000. To me, being a Tour Guide is one of the best professions in the world. I get to surround myself with new, interesting people from all over the word, while enjoying the outdoors. Not to mention, show them all that Malta has to offer. And that is a lot! So whether it is the history of the islands you are interested in, or you wish to experience our culture, to find out more about life on a Mediterranean island, to get a taste of the local delicacies or to simply just enjoy beautiful scenery, bays and views, I am here for you regardless. So kindly do get in touch by booking a tour or contact me directly if you prefer a more customized experience. I hope to meet you soon! ·Official Tourist Guide License since 2000 (license nr 698) issued by the Malta Tourism Authority ·Diploma in Tourism Studies I am not a driver-guide. For tours that require transport an air-conditioned car or van will be booked.

Overview of your Valletta tour

Valletta is not just a city, it's a planned city. Literally drawn on paper, built with a strategy by the Order of the Knights of St John. This UNESCO World Heritage site is an amazing city where fortunately quite a lot of beautiful buildings from the Knights era can be admired. On this tour, we'll roam through the streets, admiring the fantastic view over the impressive Grand Harbour. Let's pass by some Auberges of the knights while getting the vibe of the authentic Valletta and maybe stop for a coffee and traditional "pastizzi" at the iconic Cafe Cordina. A definite must-see is the St Johns Co-Cathedral. Another piece of heritage from the Knights with a very impressive interior. Any other museum can be visited on request. On a personal note, whether it's during the day, taking clients around, or in the evening going around the streets where you'll find live music on every corner in Summertime, I genuinely love this city. It would be my pleasure to tell you all about it.

You must hire Danielle for your tour of Malta! I hired Danielle for three days and she organized an amazing tour of the main island and arranged for a driver. Day 1 was a tour of the three cities and Hypogeum. Day 2 we went to Hagar Qim, Blue Grotto, Medina, and a winery tour. Day 3 we did a walking tour of Valletta. Her knowledge of the language, culture, history, archeology, and religion is extensive. She was professional, flexible and friendly. I highly recommend her!

We had a wonderful tour of the important sites of Valletta in the afternoon of our arrival at Malta. Danielle gave us a great insight into the important milestones of the country's history which enabled us to plan where we should visit during the remainder of our 5 day stay. She was very knowledgeable and presented everything in a clear and friendly way.

Danielle was knowledgeable, friendly and a fantastic guide. She walked us through the city in a thoughtful way telling us the history as we went. We wouldn't hesitate to book another tour if we are lucky enough to return to Valetta

Danielle was a knowledgeable and informative guide for a group of 15 around Valetta and Mdina. It's certainly always better to learn from someone who knows her stuff and is quick and able to answers any questions. She enjoyed a laugh & pointed out the most important locations - the pubs and restaurants. Thanks Danielle we all had a great time

Great Walking Tour. We were there on a Sunday, so the St. Johns Co-Cathedral was closed, but Danielle easily filled the time with other sites of interest. She also told us which sites we shouldn't miss if we came back to Valletta. We also had a helpful discussion about the many restaurants in the City.

Danielle is truly an exceptional guide. Our tour with her was thoughtful and incredibly insightful, showcasing her deep knowledge of Malta’s history and culture. Her years of experience were evident in the way she connected historical details with the city’s present-day character, making the tour both informative and engaging. We also loved learning about everyday life in Malta, which added a personal and meaningful touch to the experience. Her expertise goes beyond the well-known landmarks, providing fascinating insights that enriched our visit. She has a gift for making history come alive in a way that feels both relevant and captivating. Danielle’s great personality, combined with her genuine enthusiasm for sharing Malta’s heritage, made this a truly worthwhile experience. I highly recommend taking a tour with her—we enjoyed every minute!
