Favourite tour in Malta! - Christian is an amazing tour guide as he has so much knowledge about Malta and the Three Cities yet he also makes it fun and interactive with the whole group. He has a vibrant energy about him and makes sure to stop for water and snacks. I loved asking Christian questions and hearing his in-depth depictions of the history of Malta especially in Birgu. I highly recommend any tourists to do this tour!
