The Royal Palace is usually very crowded, and regular admission requires quite a bit of waiting in line. However, with this tour, we were able to enter with almost no stress. The guide was not only highly knowledgeable but also unique, making it a truly educational experience.

The tour was magnificent. We would like to highlight the guide Beatriz Pérez, who turned out to be an excellent professional and who has perfectly conveyed the history of our country, resulting in a great cultural experience. We recommend this activity without hesitation.

Guide was knowledgeable. Ear piece was difficult to keep in ear if you have hearing aids. Just a walking tour I had an ear piece that fit over the ear. This was one of your tours on Malta today. Thank you.
