“We would have preferred more time in Valetta and less in Mdina. I was under the impression that we would go inside the cathedral rather than hear about it. "30 minute guided tour" implies going inside not just the exterior.”

He was especially good about the old city of Mdina. Malta has some great picturesque spots and we stopped and took in the beauty of the place. We returned to the ship on time. It was a very good experience.”

“Marissa with City Walking Tours Malta was fabulous. We were on a cruise and she met us at the port and we were fortunate to have only 6 of us on the tour. She was great in maneuvering us through the crowds and finding shady spots to talk about the sights. She catered to our needs as one of us was looking to buy a Maltese cross, she took us into a jewellery store and showed us what it looked like, another wanted to get a rosary blessed so she advised where and when this could be done. It was so sweet when she ran into her 2 children while…”

“What a beautiful area. Nice and clean unlike other Greece large cities I visited. We had a lovely guide, Angele. She knew her history and was a native of Malta. A lot of walking but well worth the adventure. Our guide took us to the key parts of the cities and was so knowledgRead more”
