Great tour with food
Our tour guide Angela was great. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Malta and Mdina. We tried lots of local Malta food which is very interesting.

Angele, our guide and Charline, our driver were wonderful and so helpful! We drove all around the island. Tour was customized as we wanted!

via Viator
Exceptional guide and comfortable transportation
Angela was an amazing guide who tailored stops to our needs and gave us a very complete explanation of Malta's history and its beautiful cathedral. She also speaks five languages and was very fluent in Spanish. Greatly recommended.
via Viator
Beautiful cities and great history
What a beautiful area. Nice and clean unlike other Greece large cities I visited. We had a lovely guide, Angele. She knew her history and was a native of Malta. A lot of walking but well worth the adventure. Our guide took us to the key parts of the cities and was so knowledgeable of the areas. The history is rich and unforgettable. The cathedral was a highlight. The history of the Maltese people and the Knights is so interesting. Those of you who watched the Game of Thrones will enjoy the tour. She pointed out many places filming locations took place. Over-all, a very good tour and a wonderful tour guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for this lovely review. It was my pleasure guiding 4 lovely ladies.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valletta.
How much does Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina cost?
+
Prices start at $375 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 Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina take?
+
Plan for about 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 Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina?
+
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 Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina?
+
Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion: Private Full-Day Tour of Valletta & Mdina 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.
