If you want a high quality introduction to Valetta and Malta you must meet Victoria and have her take you around. Historical over view was excellent and she took us to places that other tours don’t go. Victoria’s local food tips and suggestions were excellent and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend booking with Victoria. Great experience with Victoria.

Victoria was exactly the guide we were hoping for friendly but very knowledgable with lots of great stories and anecdotes about life in Malta. As always with a small private tour we were able to cover more ground than in a big group. Relaxed but comprehensive tour of Valletta

We booked Victoria for the Hidden Gems tour of Valletta & it proved to be a wonderful decision all round. This was our fifth 'With Locals' tour and against a previous high-bar was arguably our best so far - Victoria is knowledgable, experienced, personable & simply a joyous guide to show you the undisputed delights of Valletta - worth every penny and we recieved the most pleasurable and informative 3 hour tour - perfect in every way - thank youVictoria & Valletta - a perfect pairing

Absolutely brilliant! The knowledge and narrative that Victoria has on Valletta and Malta is immense....even after 6 days around Valletta, we thought we'd left it too late to get the full benefit but we didn't (it was impossible to book Victoria before then). Lots of little gems to find and so many interesting explanations around the history, art, buildings, architecture and hidden local communities that you simply can't locate just meandering the streets and visiting the key attractions. A great end to our holiday. Thank you. Highlight of our holiday

We had a brilliant morning in Valetta with Ilona. She was so friendly and knowledgeable about all things Malta and clearly loves where she lives. She put us at ease straight away with a warm welcome and we knew we were in good hands for our walking tour. As well as learning a lot about the history of Valetta, Ilona was also happy to discuss some of the more sensitive topics around the culture and changes she has witnessed in Malta since moving there. This was really refreshing and is why we find these one on one tours so valuable as part of our stay in a new place. Ilona pointed out plenty of useful hints and tips about the city and island which we went back and explored further during our trip. She even booked us a restaurant for our anniversary and her recommendation was spot on. We would highly recommend the tour with Ilona as your guide. 10/10.Amazing guide, fun and knowledgeable

Josefa was an excellent guide. She went beyond our expectations in giving us an unforgettable experience of Valletta, including its delightful hidden secrets. She was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Our tour coincided with Mother’s Day which presented some challenges in finding a place to sample Maltese delights at the end of the tour. She handled it in her stride and found us somewhere nice. This meant that she went way over the allocated time for the tour, but she was more interested in making sure we were happy and settled after a huge morning of walking (18,000 steps!). Josefa is an asset to Withlocals.

I can’t say enough about this awesome experience! And after a long, beautiful walk through the city she left us in a nice restaurant with a variety of Maletese snacks- Delicious!! Absolutely amazing!! A hundred thumbs up!! An Absolute MUST!

So far, With Locals tours are 3 for 3! Ilona is not a native of Malta, but she has made it her home for 8 years and knows a lot. It is obvious that she loves Valetta and is knowledgeable about the history of the island. She is friendly, down-to-earth, flexible, fun and entertaining. She really tailored our time to what we wanted to see, and took us to more local areas away from the crowds. We stopped at a cafe and got pistachio pastries and espresso/cappuccino (mine with Sambucca) which was delicious. If you are looking for a detailed historical tour with hundreds of exact dates and facts, this is not for you. But if you want a tour that shows you Valleta and gives you an understanding of the history of the city and of Malta without getting deep in the details, then we highly recommend you book with Ilona. Wonderful Day with Ilona

We took a tour of Valletta with Vicky. I could say this made all the difference. She is polite, experienced, patient (I stopped many times to take photos). She showed us and explained all the highlights of the city. She knows the history and details of monuments, churches and even the best places to eat. Unfortunately she was busy most of the days we spent there, otherwise we would have scheduled other tours with her. I highly recommend her.Amazing

Thank you Vicky for a fantastic morning – it was the perfect way to start our stay in Valletta. Your knowledge & passion for the history of Malta & its art was outstanding & clearly evident. Visiting the amazing St.Johns Cathedral with you was the icing on the cake – we loved hearing all of the interesting stories you had to tell – we are sure touring by ourselves would not have been anywhere as good! Finishing the tour at the Upper Barraka Gardens for the 12noon gun salute seemed the appropriate way to end – with a big bang! We cannot recommend touring around this beautiful city with you anymore highly. Thanks again – Sue & GeoffA Must Do Tour With Vicky!

We have had the opportunity to use “With Locals” all over the world and I have to say our time with Josefa ranks among the best! Her local knowledge of Malta was second to none and made our experience a true delight. What resonates the most about Josefa is her bubbly personality and love of sharing Malta culture which makes touring with her so much fun. She showed us areas and restaurants where locals go and at our request, not “touristy “ which was just perfect. Every where we went, people seemed to know her! We would highly recommend Josefa for your next tour in Malta! A Great Choice!

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our Malta food tour with our wonderful guide, Victoria. From the very first stop, she made us feel welcome and instantly connected us to the heart of Maltese culture through its incredible cuisine. We sampled everything from warm, flaky pastizzi to fresh Ħobż tal-Malti bread, each bite rich with tradition and flavor. The heavenly Maltese desserts were pure indulgence, and washing it all down with Kinnie (a uniquely Maltese soft drink) and a locally brewed beer was the perfect touch. What truly set this tour apart was how Victoria wove in fascinating historical anecdotes between tastings, often connecting them to the beautiful architecture we passed along the way. Every stop felt like a step back in time, with flavors that told stories of the island’s vibrant history and culture. If you want to experience Malta in the most delicious, authentic, and memorable way possible, this tour is an absolute must—and if you’re lucky enough to have Victoria as your guide, you’re in for a treat!Food tour with Victoria in Malta

Victoria has great knowledge about Valletta an its history. I got dizzy by all the mentioned celebrations and all matching food. We walked around the center and tasted food at the places for the locals, curiously little other tourist at the spots. Certainly no tourist food! Luckily we found a cooking book with the tasted snacks. Now we are going to try to replicate the good feeling of Malta. Thank you Victoria, a walk to remember. We had great fun!Great walk!
