Greetings from Malta. I have been a guide for over 25 years and will make sure to use all my experience and knowledge of Malta & Gozo to provide you and your family a wonderful and informative time. I was born and raised in the town of Sliema, Malta and have always been happily active in the hospitality industry, organizing and guiding various tours and activities, including destination weddings for foreign couples. Although the serene and raw beauty of scenic Malta still fascinated me most at first glance, I myself am an avid archaeologist and a descendant of James Somerville, who was a lead excavator of the Ggantija Temples on Gozo. The architecture prowess of us Maltese, empowered by our local limestone, has prevailed up to present times and is one of the most outstanding features in the course of all our tours. I am also well acquainted with strategic wartime Malta and possess an extensive knowledge of Malta's political, geological and economical background. Your day on tour will be customized to your benefit. I look forward to meeting you in my beautiful country of Malta. Thank you, Alfred. - National Tourist Guide certificate. - Chauffeur License.

Valletta Walking Tour, City of the Knights of Malta, in a 3 to 4 hours exploratory excursion
Overview of your Valletta tour
The half day tour is perfect for guests residing in Valletta who have very little time but do not want to be out for a whole day. We can show you Valletta in detail on foot and explore the city at a comfortable pace. This walking tour allows you to acquaint yourself intimately with our capital city of Valletta by covering the same ground that the Knights of Malta did on a regular basis. This tour is conducted on foot and is especially suitable for travellers residing in the region of Valletta and the 3 Cities (Cottonera), since no transport is provided by us during this tour. The places of interest in this walking tour are various and the program is hence customisable. Leave it to us to address your best interests. You may be an art lover and like to see the Caravaggio paintings in the ornate St. John's Co Cathedral, and you would certainly like to find out more about the Knights at the Grand Masters Palace. The city is predominantly pedestrian and extremely rich in architecture and cultural sites.

We had a wonderful and informative morning with Alfred. Encyclopedia of knowledge. He knows his city well. Historical detail as well as contemporary changes. Valletta is an intriguing city. Definitely feel the need for return trips to appreciate it.

Alfred did an excellent job of showing and providing the history of both the islands of Malta and Gozo. We are grateful for our time with Alfred.

This was our second tour with Alfred. He did not disappoint. His knowledge of the history of Malta and the co-cathedral is amazing.

Drei Tage waren wir insgesamt mit Alfred auf der Insel Malta und Gozo unterwegs. Gemeinsam mit unseren Töchtern haben wir sehr von Alfreds Detail- und historischem Zusammenhangswissen profitiert. Es war kurzweilig, lehrreich und sehr interessant. Vor allem die 6.000 Jahre alten Tempelanlagen haben uns sehr beeindruckt. Danke, dass Sie uns so gut geführt haben, Alfred!

Wonderful guide. Even adapted, on-the-fly, when HMS Wife suddenly decided she did not want to visit the Cathedral! Thank you so much for a terrific morning tour.
