Tour Overview
The history of Valletta is representative of that of the whole island: a mixture of influences from all the foreign powers that ruled it in turn throughout the centuries.

We had a great food tour. We tasted a lot of different local specialties, including drinks. Besides the food, we also get a good insight into Malta`s / Valletta´s history. I especially enjoyed the lunch at the end, which took place in an indoor market place. I can just recommend it!
Not my first food tour. The previous one was in Bulgaria and I had high expectations for this one as the first one was ???? I expected from the guide to be more talkative and to interact more with us, I missed the presentation part with the group and I also expected to be in more local places and try more than 3 things and not to have a 20' gap in the middle of the tour. I find it too expensive for the things done.
Matthew did a great tour! We enjoyed our time in Valletta and the food we got to taste was wonderful - a great assortment of delicacies. We still are not hungry this evening! Thanks again!
Matthew was a nice guide who showed us around Valletta for 3 hours, we tried a lot of the must have local food & got a good history of Malta. Definitely recommend!
We can only recommend the tour through Valetta and our guide through Valetta was also great.
