The tour begins from the Courts of Justice on Republic Street, where you’ll hear how the city’s former police station was haunted.
You’ll also see exactly where the plague of 1813 broke out, hear about the priest who poisoned his dinner party guests.
You’ll hear of the scandalous life of Grand Master Pinto, leader of the Knights of Malta, and why some Maltese thought he was a vampire.

My friend and I had a great time on this tour, about the weird and wonderful stories of Valletta and their former residents, and tales of phantoms, plague, poisons and poo. A great way of getting your steps in, while Mario provides the information, the entertainment and the laughs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Stories of the Strange in Valletta tour. Mario really knows his stuff and presents it entertainingly. We laughed and were fascinated in equal measure. Highly recommended for interesting tales and helping get your bearings in Valletta.

Mario was a fantastic guide for a fascinating tour. Charming, animated, engaging - I would have enjoyed the tour whatever the subject matter, but the stories were interesting, eclectic, original and humorous. As someone who is generally bored by history this is a 'historical' tour I can thoroughly recommend. Word of warning - whilst not child 'unsuitable' I would imagine that you would want to be at least 12 to appreciate the stories. It's also 2hrs on your feet which can be tiring if you've already spent the day on your feet

We were really excited booking it and we’re not disappointed! Such amazing story’s and seeing the side streets we wouldn’t have otherwise seen, the humour when telling the stories was brilliant as well. Was slightly longer than the 2 hours but would have gladly listened to more. Definitely worth the money and so much more!!

I enjoyed the tour very much! My boyfriend and I saw a lot of Valletta, what we didn‘t see before, so it was Like a City Tour, but with a twist.

Very entertaining, great speaker. Not boring or to technical. Will attend another when we return next year. Lots of walking so be you must be able to walk, traverse stairs and stand around.
