Take a walk around Valletta’s back streets and discover its strange and dirty past.

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.

You’ll also learn the strange reason why a knight of Malta went to the ballet but ended up being arrested.

The tour will also explain the knights’ fascination with poo and how they used it as a weapon.

You’ll learn the incredible secret hidden by a top British surgeon who lived in Malta – and how his landlord accidentally guessed it.

All this and more on the Stories of the Strange in Valletta tour.

PLEASE NOTE: The tour takes in much of the city, so it involves plenty of walking.

    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.

  • Who knew poo could be so interesting!

    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!!

  • Engaging.
