Valletta Unveiled: The Ultimate Free Walking Tour by a local guide

Experience the epic history of Valletta delivered by a top tier guide. 


A fortress city built by the Knights of St. John following the dramatic Great Siege of 1565. Brought to life by an official MTA-licensed guide, radio broadcaster, and published author, this fast-paced 2-hour journey blends distinction-level historical accuracy with masterful storytelling. 
As we trace the evolution of the city's stunning Baroque streets, we will pass by the Mediterranean gem of St. John's Co-Cathedral and dive into unforgettable tales: from the grim tortures used in the capital and Napoleon's swift takeover, to the bizarre way a dispute over rabbits once sparked a local revolt!
We will visit the following spots (outside) and some others... Can't reveal it all, can I? :)
1. City Walls 
2. The Bastions
3. Parliament
4. Royal Opera House ruins
5. Upper Barrakka Gardens
6. Saint Johns Co Cathedral (outside)
7. Grand Masters Palace (Outside)

The tour lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes
Available in English

Guiding since 2026
I believe a memorable tour is about more than just reciting dates; it’s about the art of storytelling. With a career in radio broadcasting and as a published author, I capture an audience and bring narratives to life every single day. I bring that same passion for communication to my tours, transforming Malta's millennia of history into engaging, vibrant stories. My knowledge is grounded in a rigorous two-and-a-half-year guiding program at the Institute of Tourism Studies, ensuring you receive the highest standard of historical accuracy. If you want a guide who can speak to the soul of Malta with clarity, depth, and a truly local voice, I would be honoured to show you my islands.
