3.Maltese Food and Drink Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 601 reviews · 3 hours · from $59

Walk from Valletta’s City Gate through historic streets with an English-speaking guide such as Matthew or Julia. Stop for pastizzi, ftira, timpana, sweets, chocolate, and local drinks, with a generous final meal at an indoor food hall. Vegetarian menus are available when requested in advance.

“We had a great time trying some Maltese, traditional and current food selections. The locations were diverse from coffee shops to open market. The Maltese cuisine is adopted from many cultures so it does lack a bit of originality. In my opinion, it is worth taking this tour as a guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Malta, including some specific points in Valaretta that proved to be very interesting. Overall, it’s worth the time.”

Marsaxlokk was a beautiful town to visit on Sunday. So colourful and full of vendors and interesting people. The extra 5 euro ride into the Blue Grotto was worth the $. It was not too much and we got to see beautiful views of the Grotto and the island. Qrendi was a quaint, quiet , and cute little village. The whole tour was a lovely way to spend the day.”
