    I recently went on a *Mysteries of a Monastery* tour in Valletta with Dark Malta Tours, and it was a fantastic experience! Mario brought history to life with his captivating storytelling, sharing interesting and fun historical facts as we explored the niches adorned with various saints before entering the monastery. His deep knowledge and passion for Malta's less-known history made the tour both educational and engaging. I enjoyed it so much that I’m about to book another tour to uncover more hidden gems and fascinating stories about other places of interest in Malta. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and enriching experience!

    Mario is an excellent tour guide, the tour was both informative and interesting. I am not a particularly religious person, but I still found the religious elements of the tour fascinating. I would definitely seek out Mario again when (not if!) I return to Malta.
