Brigitte – Australia

We loved this Tour and our guide Angela was fantastic and gave us detailed information about the Knights of Malta and Valletta. The cathedral tour was also really worth while and so glad that this was part of our tour as Angela really helped bring this incredible interior to life for us! Highly recommend this tour and also great that they give you ear sets as it made it so much easier to follow along with the guides commentary
