“Our female guide (didn't catch her name) from Colour My Travel was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and so very well-spoken despite the blazing heat. She kept us moving while seeking shade. Especially enjoyed the tour of the Inquisitor's Palace as our guide's explanations really enhanced that overall experience. Just loved how she peppered the entire tour with anecdotes about her Maltese grandmother which made the experience very personal and fun.

While I would recommend this tour you do need to be mobile and fit as Valletta is very hilly and you do walk right down to the bottom and back up. It was a great night.”

“It was a decent tour for the price. We did this our first night there, so it also gave us a bit of hte layout for things to explore more in the upcoming days. The ghost stories were ok, they were combined with some real history of the island which was cool, but they just left me wanting just a little more.”
