2.Lazy Pirate Boat Party with Drinks & Food

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 788 reviews · 4 hours · from $81

Review of Malta’s Lazy Pirate Boat Party, with open bar, DJ music, snacks, sunset sailing, and a moonlight swim from Sliema.

“We were a group of 5 girls, we really enjoyed the experience overall. Drinks were good and there was good music. The swim stop wasn’t great if you specifically want to swim but it’s fine for what it it. The only negative was the security got very aggressive with one of my friends when she was trying to find the rest of the group, swearing and pushing her.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 601 reviews · 3 hours · from $59

Taste pastizzi, ftira, Maltese drinks, and more while exploring Valletta’s history, food culture, landmarks, and local shops.

“We had a great time trying some Maltese, traditional and current food selections. The locations were diverse from coffee shops to open market. The Maltese cuisine is adopted from many cultures so it does lack a bit of originality. In my opinion, it is worth taking this tour as a guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Malta, including some specific points in Valaretta that proved to be very interesting. Overall, it’s worth the time.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 44 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $168

Malta food and history tour review covering Mdina, Rabat, Mosta, Valletta, local dishes, guides, transport, pricing, and practical booking advice.

“I had very high hopes based on the reviews for this private tour, but ended up very disappointed overall. First off, we were picked up in Valletta for an extra fee, which was fine, but our driver to Mdina knew nothing of our tour or who we were meeting or where. He dropped us off a Mdina and drove away, leaving us with no way to contact our guide. Fortunately, we found her a few minutes later. She was very, very nice and quite knowledgeable. As a native Maltese, the best part of the tour was talking to her about Malta culture, history, language, and life in Malta. She gets…”

“This was a great tour. Small and personal with only 6 participants in the group. Bridgette was a delight. We were lucky to be in Rabat on the eve of the festa, so we got to see the set up of the flags and lights and see the locals come together as one. The food was plentiful. Stop one: Pasitizzi & Kinnie ( best pasitizzi's in Malta) Stop two: Maltese coffee and fresh fruit Stop three: maltese platter Stop four: rabbit stew, bragoli, roast potatoes and veggies, Maltese bread, wine imqaret This tour is definitely worth a try if you want traditional food and history too.”

Taste pastizzi, rabbit, Kinnie, wine, and more while exploring Valletta’s grand sights with a private local guide.

“Karl provided us with a thoroughly delightful private Food Tour in Valletta Malta! His knowledge of local history is second to none, and he absolutely knew what places to visit to sample all the local specialties. We enjoyed the local drink Kinnie, pastizzi with ricotta cheese and mushy peas, imqarat pastry filled with date paste, Bragioli, rabbit, and a delicious ice cream made with sweetened condensed milk. Oh, and did I mention the wine? It was great! Probably the most fun item were the strawberries that Karl picked up from the green grocer in a plastic bag filled with water and these 4 huge strawberries! But even better than the…”
