We were picked up and dropped to our hotel which was really great considering how hard it is to find parking in Valletta. Our guide Maria arrived late cos of an accident but I think she more than made...

We really enjoyed our Valletta tour, Sylvia was lovely and very genuine in her delivery. We were so glad we booked it as we would have missed so much.
