    A great night out

    A very warm welcome as we arrived. Belinda was amazing! We had the taster menu. There was plenty of food with several Maltese favourites to choose from. The traditional Maltese dancers were lovely to see, and after the show ended, the public was invited to get up on the dance floor. There was a lovely atmosphere here, and it seemed that absolutely everyone was enjoying themselves. It ended too soon. We would love to have been able to stay a while longer.

    Horrible service and disappointing dance show

    This dinner show night at Ta’ Marija restaurant was the absolute worst! The dance show was very repetitive; all the music sounded the same, all the dances looked the same. The dancers didn’t even bother to change the outfits. In 5 dances out of 6 they wore the same white dresses. They promised that they would raise the platform high, so that everyone in the restaurant could see the dances well, but they only raised it during the first dance. We have seen many better shows, where they actually put some effort in the performances. This one was a disappointment. The service was very poor and waiters were terrible. We ordered tomato ravioli instead of mushroom ravioli due to our mushroom allergy. All the other tables received their first courses, we didn’t after waiting for almost an hour. Even the neighbouring table received their tomato raviolis. Then they started bringing in the second courses to every table, including ours. That’s when we said we haven’t even received the raviolis yet. Then they noticed their mistake and brought us the raviolis instead. But it was the mushroom version. After reminding them again that we asked for tomato version due to our allergy, we finally received the tomato ravioli. When we received our second courses, the horse dish tasted awful. For desserts we received 2 pieces of sweets, everyone in the neighbouring tables received 4 pieces. There was a hostess walking around from table to table to chat with customers about how their evening was going and explaining about their show and the dinner in the beginning of the evening. When she came to our table she didn’t explain anything, but instead told us she would come back soon to do it. She never came back to us, but toured all the other tables. After dinner there was an organized transportation from the restaurant to the hotel. First we were directed to sit inside a certain minibus. Then the driver realized that there are too many people and the two of us were rushed out of the bus to the end of the street to another bus. This other bus was empty and the driver told us that it is not going where we are going to, but maybe he can make a detour for us, but that they won’t be leaving for at least another half an hour. The first bus would have left right away. Then the driver of the first bus came to the second bus and said that now there is room in the first bus and we were rushed right back to the first bus. Unbelievable to make us run around like that. As if the evening in this restaurant hadn’t been awful enough already. We do not recommend this Ta’ Marija restaurant or their dance show to anyone. Stay away from their lousy service!

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued guest, Thank you for your feedback and the time you dedicated to write it. We are sorry to hear that this service did not meet your expectations and needs. Nevertheless, your comments really matter to our local team to improve the quality's standard service by applying the appropriate corrective actions. Kind regards, Customer Service Team

    Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.

    How much does Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Valletta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Valletta is not rushed.

    Is Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Valletta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Valletta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Valletta and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Valletta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Valletta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Valletta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Valletta Food Tour, The Original Valletta Walking Tour, Valletta Walking Tour, In a Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Valletta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Valletta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks?

    +

    Included: Transport; Four-course feast of traditional Maltese dishes; Maltese folkloric show; and Free-flowing wine, mineral water and coffee. Not included: Any other drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 107 listed pickup locations in and around Valletta. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks?

    Is Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Maltese Folklore Night Tour incl. food and drinks if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
