Our afternoon exploring Valletta felt like a delightful mix of history and food, especially during the stop at a local bakery where we sampled traditional pastizzi. The private transfers made getting around a breeze, allowing us to dive right into the sights without any hassle. While the guide was knowledgeable and engaging, we did wish for a bit more time at some of the historical sites. Overall, we left feeling satisfied with our experience, although a longer tour might have allowed for even deeper exploration. The blend of flavors and stories made it a memorable part of our business trip.
