Hello and welcome to the island of Malta! I’m a Maltese licensed guide with a lifelong love for the outdoors and storytelling. After more than a decade leading hiking groups through rugged terrain, I officially transitioned into professional guiding and have since conducted over 300 tours across Malta in just the past year. Guiding isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. I specialize in creating memorable, immersive experiences that go beyond the typical sightseeing route. Whether it’s a mysterious night walk through Valletta’s lantern-lit streets or a deep dive into Malta’s complex layers of history, I aim to offer something truly different. My tours are crafted to spark curiosity and connection, with personal stories and local insights woven into every step. As a full time, and now independent guide, I’m excited to build my brand, connect directly with travelers, and earn the kind of meaningful feedback that fuels my work. I believe the best tours are the ones where guests leave feeling like they’ve seen the real Malta—its beauty, its history, and its heart. Before transitioning to the dynamic world of tourism, I spent a solid 20 years in IT Consulting and Project management. Education - I have a track record of giving my utmost at whatever I do. Winner of the 'Best Performance' prize in the Higher National Diploma for Tourist Guiding, the qualification leading to the license. I also hold an M.Sc. in Information Systems from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where I was awarded the prize for Best Overall Performance. In summary: you're in good hands.

Overview of your Valletta tour

Join me on this night tour of Valletta, the city British PM Disraeli called 'the city built by gentlemen for gentlemen', but paradoxically once also referred to as the city of 'smells, bells and yells'! We will be exploring the history of the city, rooted in decisive battles for the Mediterranean, whilst admiring the splendid architecture. The evening hours offer a great way to make the most of the mild Maltese weather to go around the EU Capital city of culture 2018. Valletta is a very safe and walkable, and currently experiencing a new lease of life. I have been an admirer of Valletta all my life, and have seen the city transform to the vibrant, lit, colorful city it is today.
