I recently visited Malta for 6 days and took a free guided tour via Colour my Travel for exploring the city of Valletta. The guide was very friendly and helped us understand the rich history of Malta while exploring places. Matteo had a nice sense of humor which made us remember key history moments of Valletta. I would surely recommend it to do it. At the end you are not obliged to pay but certainly it helps them to run this business hence would be great if you could financially assist for the quality of work they do. Thanks and Enjoy Malta!
Julia was a most excellent and passionate guide to the city and history of Valletta. She had a great deal of knowledge which she shared with humour and a keen sense of political nuance, connecting old and new. She even managed to deliver us to the final palace in St George’s Square just as the President was arriving. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yesterday I did the 2.00 walking tour with Matthew who was absolutely superb. He kept us enthralled throughout the whole tour and his enthusiasm for his subject was infectious. I very much hope a lot more get to join his walks and benefit from the depth and breadth of his knowledge. Many many thanks for an unforgettable afternoon.
We've had a 3 hour tour with Mario. So informative and interesting. His depth of knowledge was impressive and he managed to bring the history of Malta to life. Thank you
Today we did the 3 hour Valletta walking tour with Matthew. Matthew was a great tour guide with lots of interesting knowledge of Valletta and Malta. He took us to some of the main sites within the city and we learnt lots about Malta’s past & history. I would definitely recommend the tour as part of your trip in Valletta 😊🇲🇹!
