We enjoyed the tour, walking through the narrow cities, also the Harbour cruise in the traditional boat was very good. We have booked an English tour, but the tour was mixed italian/English, so it was sometimes hard to follow, when the language was permanently switched. But all in all it was OK.

It was a great experience when we organised a private walking tour two days before we arrived in Valletta. A phone call and a few emails sorted the arrangements and we we both very impressed with Ben our guide on his knowledge, focus on providing us the best experience and his ability to answer the numerous questions we had for him. It is this kind of experience that immerses you into the city you are visiting and provides a greater understanding of the history of the city and country. We combined the tour with a stop mid way to taste local pastries and have a coffee and that enhanced the experience.
We would use this company again, and would ask for Ben to guide us. It was a much better and personalised experience that taking a small group tour, we highly recommend this tour and suggest you see if Ben is available to guide the tour.

The Birgu ghost tour organised by Colour My Travel was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The guides were enthusiastic, welcoming, and impressively knowledgeable, weaving fascinating stories about Birgu’s haunted past and dark history that kept everyone mesmerized throughout the evening. Their storytelling made Birgu’s streets and historical landmarks come alive, blending chilling legends with authentic local details. The tour struck a perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, and the guides were always happy to answer questions and share extra tidbits between stops, making the night both educational and great fun for all in our group.
Following the tour, the group headed to Cargo at the beautiful Vittoriosa waterfront. The venue was a perfect place to wind down, with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service that made for a relaxed close to the evening. Finger food and drinks were plentiful, catering well for everyone, and the setting alongside the harbour was ideal for chatting with new friends and soaking up the waterfront views. Cargo’s staff were helpful, and the whole event felt well organised and comfortable from start to finish.
I highly recommend Colour My Travel to organise any of your events in Malta.

Whilst we focused on one Victoriosa the guide gave good background on the other cities and then detailed Victoriosa. The time in the Inquisitor’s Palace was excellent and brought to
life the history of this 238 year period. Very worthwhile.
