Loved this tour. Perfect amount of time as we were on a cruise. She is very sweet and so thorough with her history of Malta. She showed us some lovely places to eat at. Would use her again! Malta with Victoria

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 was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and overall a pleasure to have our tour with. Her flexibility allowed us to tailor the day with what interested us, but she still made sure we saw all of the things we shouldn’t miss. The ability to skip the lines and get in and out was worth the price alone. Awesome experience & Great guide

Malta has a rich history and I was glad to spend time with Vicky learning about it. The tour ran on time, and was true to the description. I would take a tour with Vicky again. Informative walking tour through Malta!

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.

We loved our tour of Valletta with Victoria she was super knowledgeable and helped us to get oriented with the city with lots of history and fun facts too. She was great at suggesting an alternative start time for our tour avoid heat of the day and met us directly at our hotel. Victoria was a lovely person and we enjoyed spending time with her.Tour of Valletta

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! Great taste!

My friend Kylie and I had the wonderful Victoria show us around Valletta for a drinks and bites tour for 2.5hrs. We found Victoria to be professional, interesting and friendly in the delivery of her service. Not only were all our questions answered, we were given a great insight into the importance of the Maltese history. Victoria is a very personable guide who is proud of her country and happy to share with her clients. Thank you Victoria, we are happy to highly recommend you as a guide in Malta!Friendly, informative, interesting

Victoria was a great guide, sharing history of the area and the food as we walked around Valletta. Of particular note was the library and the band rooms, little cafes and centres for the community to gather. We never would have found some of these places without a local guide. Totally worthwhile experience.Hidden gems in Valletta

Victoria was an excellent guide - knowledgeable, articulate and friendly. It’s not her fault that 3 cruise ships arrived that morning, so it was a bit crowded!Fascinating Valletta

We loved our tour. Victoria adapted immediately to our place, she was very knowledgeable and took us to some of the best restaurants of our trip. We returned to them later in the week for more great food. She also helped us orient ourselves to the different areas of Valetta. Thank you, Victoria!Super Tour

Our culinary tastes walk with Victoria started with meeting outside the main court building on Republic Street. We strolled and were told about the early history of Malta and some of the impressive buildings built by the Knights Templar and later occupiers of the islands, we then tried our first local speciality pastizzi a filo envelope filled with chicken or ricotta style cheese a three bite delicious snack from a little bake shop.in a side street we then moved on to a small bar/cafe called the Museum cafe,where we had a local sourdough sandwich (fcira) filled with tuna, salad beans,tomato and tomato paste,onion, capers and sliced onion. Delicious and very popular with locals and visitors We also tried a local bean curd paste and cheese with a pepper coating. All delicious and well worth seeking out.We walked on with loads more information on the work.of the Knights Templar building grand houses and churches, passed close to the Cathedral of St John and the to another little shop to taste a honey based treat popular with locals which we chose to have boxed for later in the day. Next back to Republic Street and the very posh Caffe Cordina a lovely cafe styled on the great Vienna coffee shops, must with posing citizens and their patisserie called cannoli o pastry tube filled with sweet cheese or a pistachio curd very yummy! Our final stroll.psst more impressive Templar built palaces used by the government to our last stop 'The Pub' in Archbishop Street famous for a very blow away visit by Oliver Reed when filming 'Gladiator ' which resulted in a fatal excess of liquid joy! A quirky place to end our excellent tour with a glass of the local beer.A walk with a local in Valetta

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

Dale 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

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

Yesterday we went to Mdina and Rabat with Victoria as our guide. Our contact prior to the visit was very smooth and meeting Victoria at the gates of Mdina was easy. On our tour around the cities Victoria was very good at informing us of details and small stories. She was attentive to our students and welcomed their questions. When finishing the historic tour, Victoria gave us tips on where to go and what to have for lunch. And also which local treats to try. All of this was greatly appreciated by us and our students. Thank you for great day.Wonderful Victoria

Our 2 back-to-back tours with Victoria were excellent (The Culinary Kickstart & The Three Cities Tours). We had a wonderful experience with Victoria despite the rain. She was our sunshine. Victoria was flexible and accommodating to our needs and expectations. Victoria is very very knowledgeable, personal, fun and passionate about Malta. We sure appreciated her humorous manner in sharing her personal comments on different topics during our tours. The city of Birgu is not to be missed and we tasted such lovely local food.! Victoria even gave us her WhatsApp so that we could message her for recommendations for our free time! Our stay in Malta was definitely enhanced by Victoria's 2 tours, complementing very well our organized motor coach tour. We will definitely seek her out if returning to Malta! Thank you Victoria!Wonderful time in Malta with Victoria!

Our tour with Victoria was fab - we were a large group from all over the world but unfortunately a little limited on time and the weather was not in our favour! Despite all that, she provided a fantastic tour for our group - an informative overview of the history of Mdina, scenic route through the windy streets to see and learn about the most striking landmarks and even tailored the tour to add in some unique nuances that personalised the tour to us (church visit and coffee shop stop). Victoria was professional, a fountain of fun and interesting knowledge, super friendly and a guide we would highly recommend! Extremely good value for money. I will definitely seek her out if returning for a personal visit too - thank you!!!The Perfect Host!

Her outgoing personality made it easy for us to connect with her immediately. She is very knowledgeable about Malta's history and is passionate about Malta.

It was a fabulous tour and so informative that it exceeded our expectations!Excellent food tours - highly recommended

We had an interesting time with Victoria yesterday. We had booked a walking food tour of Vallatta as we thought that would offer a different experience to just a walking tour. We were not disappointed! It was a marvellous morning discovering the food history of the capital. I would really recommend Victoria ( her knowledge was amazing!) and this tour. Don’t have breakfast. You are going to be nibbling all morning! Highly recommended. Fantastic food tour of Vallatta

Victoria was our energetic, engaging and delightful guide who led us on two separate walks during our time in Valletta - a Valletta Kickstart tour and an in-depth walking tour of Mdina and Rabat. Her amazing knowledge of Malta and its history is indeed impressive, and she passionately conveyed this during the tours. Her explanations and descriptions really helped us gain an understanding into the heart of this beautiful country - and the events that have shaped it. She also gave us many brilliant tips and suggestions for the rest of our time in Valletta - invaluable to get all this from a local! Thank you, Victoria! We will definitely be recommending you to all our family and friends!An Amazing Guide - Highly recommend!!

We spent an amazing afternoon with Victoria guiding us through the historical core. She is very knowledgable about Malta, with the right mix of history and legend to help everything make sense. She knows so much history about all the buildings! We had asked her to show us a few specific things (including local pastries), which she did and showed us much more. She also made great recommendations for other things to do while we were in the city. Thanks Victoria, we had an amazing time!Victoria + Malta = Fabulous!
