Overview of your Valletta tour

The city of Valletta, Malta's capital is a fine example of a fortified city of the Renaissance located on a hilly peninsula between two of the finest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. The knights of St. John's, now universally known as the Knights of Malta, aided by some of the most respected European military engineers of the 16th century, planned the city as a single holistic creation, with a uniform grid plan within fortified city walls. The grid-planned city is representative of the island as a whole and within its limited boundaries is reflected some of Malta's richest heritage. On our tour we will not only discover the history behind the city, but I will be giving anecdotes and curiosities as we tour our capital.

Excellente demi-journée à Valetta en présence de notre guide Nadine S. Par ses racines maltaises, elle a su rendre notre visite des plus intéressantes, à la hauteur de nos attentes, en nous faisant découvrir la ville à travers ses monuments historiques et sa place au sein de l'échiquier stratégique à travers les siècles de son existence. Elle a été d'une grande générosité dans ses explications et anecdotes de toute sorte. Merci Nadine.

Our half day in Valletta was a perfect 10 due to the fact that our guide Nadine was so well informed about the complete history of the city and also so many interesting facts that you would never hear unless you were with someone like her. I knew she was going to be great prior to us meeting just by the mere fact she follow up with me twice before the trip to make sure of where we were meeting and the time. Nadine was warm, wonderful and enthusiastic the entire time we were togeather. A perfect day 10 +++

It was a delight to meet Nadine and learn from her. Our walking tour paired with her knowledge gave us a great overview of Valletta. She gets extra bonus points from us for arranging some complicated transportation (involving a morning, afternoon and early evening schedule, all executed flawlessly). And she is such a professional that even after losing her phone early into the tour she continued with us as if this was not a problem. Thank you, Nadine!
