My friends and I absolutely loved visiting Valetta with Robert. Valletta is a compact city yet with so many historical treasures and gems to be uncovered. Of course, St. John's Cathedral is a must - and what a difference it is to have a guide take you through the art and history of the magnificent building. But Valletta is also so much more than just the beautiful church, there are so many stories around every corner that Robert so enthusiastically entertained and enlightened us with. We left Valetta with a deep appreciation for the people of Malta and their history. Of course one of the highlights of this walking tour was the wonderful traditional Maltese lunch that Robert set up for us. There is nothing like having a local take you around their home - and Robert showed us his love and pride for his country during our few hours together. You will surely enjoy any tour you book with him!

Overview of your Valletta tour
I will neither bombard you with to many facts or dates, but my intention is to give you a full taste of Malta and its Capital. Often, however, there are other ways to learn about the culture and this is by food that only a local person can know. Let me be your guide. I know where to take you. So allow me to show you my Capital city while you also taste Maltese delicacies. In Valletta, there are many things to do from museums, monuments, photos, historical streets, shopping, and other things.

This tour includes stops during which a bit of history and a bit of curiosity will be shared with you. But I will also show you the highlights of Valletta - St John's Cathedral & the largest & only signed painting of one of the most important and famous artist. - Caravaggio. Join me for the true local experience of Malta and the Maltese.

Bobby is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Malta and shares the info with you in an engaging way throughout the day. Planned Maltese snack and lunch were delicious! In just 3 hours with Bobby, you will have a great appreciation for this city!
One of the hallmarks of a good tour guide is communication. Robert gets an A+++! We knew exactly where to meet, he explained everything we were seeing or going to see in easy to digest bites of information. Some guides can be a bit overwhelming with dates and facts. We laughed, marveled at the beauty of Valletta and had just a beautiful time. When we finished at our restaurant for lunch, we left it to Robert to order our multi-course lunch of Malta specialities. Another A+++++!
Robert's tour of Mdina and Valletta in Malta was exceptional! His knowledge, passion, and kind demeanor made the experience unforgettable. With a great sense of humor and professionalism, he tailored the tour to include a delightful taste of Malta's flavors. Remarkably patient, especially with my parents, Robert created a personalized and enriching journey. He made fall in love with Malta and plan to return in the future. Highly recommend!
Robert was an amazing guide with a deep well of knowledge of the area, history and culture. He arranged a walking tour for my family ( with 2 older teens) and they were engaged as well the entire tour. His attention to our needs and interests made for a great day! This was the perfect tour!!!!
Robert was an excellent guide. Being native to Malta, he provided us with a glimpse of current life in Malta as well as a fascinating historical overview. He provided intriguing detail and his own perspectives on the important art and historical sites we saw. His humor and insights were appreciated and made the day fun and enjoyable. The meal at the end was spectacular with multiple courses and far more food than we expected, so leave room! Highly recommend.
