Included

We're sure you will love the fried date pastry sweet which we call imqaret. We also taste the baked cheese snack called Twistees and some sea salt chocolate along with the coffee.
A nice bottle of local beer at one of the Valletta clubs to wash down the ftira with.
The Maltese have pastizzi for breakfast and we will let you decide whether you like the pea or ricotta ones better.
We get to try the cooked infused Maltese coffee with chicory, cloves and aniseed.
We get to taste the local bitter sweet drink, Kinnie.
We end our morning having some nice ftira lunchtime bread which we traditionally fill with tuna chunks, tomato conserve, onions, capers, olives and other Mediterranean produce.

Amazing!

This was an excellent food tour, Chris our guide was brilliant, showing us lots of places to return to, great stories about the history of Malta and particularly about food, with many different tastings of the area. We tried lots of different foods and drinks, including wine, beer and coffee, pastizzi, a date pastry, different chocolates, ftira and more! There were 12 of us on the tour, which was a perfect number. Everyone was lovely and it was a really informative, relaxing unhurried tour. We would definitely recommend this tour, and it was also excellent value.

Amazing!

What an absolute pleasure to spend 3.5hrs or so wandering around Valletta with Chris the guide. From the moment we met we knew we were in for a treat. Knowledgeable… funny… great sense of humour… interested to hear about us and what we did and where we came from too, people were asking Chris as we went about the town how to book him as they could hear his chat and liked what they could hear… always a good sign..!! The food we tasted was lovely… and the drinks n other samples were cracking too… all in all if you want a food and drink guided tour… this was 5 star..!! Thank you Chris… Craig ( Sally Paula and Graham).

Learned about the food, culture, and the history of Valetta. The group was really good as well from different parts of the world. Despite the rain, it did not discourage us from walking throughout the city.

Not even the rain could dampen the tour, Chris quickly adapted the tour so we could stay dry without mussing any of the treats we enjoyed.
