Guide: Ġanni

Guiding since 2026

Hi, I'm Ġanni, a local Maltese tourist guide with over two years of experience sharing the stories, traditions, and culture of Malta with visitors from around the world. As a proud Maltese, I am passionate about bringing the island's history to life through its people, customs, and everyday traditions. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a Chef, which gave me a deep appreciation for Malta's rich culinary heritage. My tours often combine history with food, exploring how centuries of trade, migration, and maritime life shaped the flavors of our islands. I especially enjoy guiding guests through Valletta and the Three Cities, where the harbors tell fascinating stories and the local cuisine reflects Malta's unique cultural influences. The harbors of Valletta and the Three Cities have always been places where cultures, people, and flavors meet. I enjoy exploring these connections with my guests, showing how Malta's rich history can still be tasted, seen, and experienced today. I look forward to sharing the authentic Malta with you.
