An interesting walk in the street of Valletta

Gordon is really good at his job. He knows how to make the history interesting and how to communicate with people. He told us wonderful facts about Valletta and Malta. The "trick" with the lights of the building was amazing. He was passionated and it looks He loves his job making us to love his story. He was funny and made the atmosphere pleasant. We totally suggest his tour!!

Gordon gives an excellent account of Malta

Gordon sets a reasonable pace, with many stops on the way for telling stories about the historic moments and the people involved. He is very personable, clear spoken and the microphone works well (and my hearing aids picked up well).

Passionate and knowledgeable

I couldn’t recommend enough for everybody to discover Valletta’s and Malta’s history with Gordon. Not only is he passionate about his country and its past and present, but also he’s such an engaging tour guide. He makes you feel part of every story. One of the best free tours I’ve ever had! ????

Excellent Valletta Tour????

Gordon knowledge of Valletta was second to none.....he was cheerful throughout and kept everyone's attention. He talked about buildings around Valletta which we would have walked past, without giving them a second thought. It's so much better getting all the stories behind these places and being told in an enthusiastic way.....Thanks Gordon????????
