"One of the best tours I have been on in years! Would love to do it all over again! Highly recommended!! First off, it’s hard to find an engaging tour…and second it’s even harder to find a tour which doesn’t repeat what everybody else is saying. So if you really want to break the mould this tour is definitely a must. So much so that I’d love to attend for it again as the details provided are only found if one digs deep in history books and often-times reading books which are not quite mainstream…. Thank you Giacomo and well done! Keep up your excellent work!"

You wont find a better guide, to bring the history of Malta to life. His passion, knowledge and delivery really made our tour of Valetta special and memorable. Right from the initial contact, his communication was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our interactions with him over email and in person. Giacomo also gave us many ideas and suggestions about how to make the most of our week in Malta including places to visit and restaurant recommendations, which we really appreciated. His care and consideration was superb.

The best tour in Valletta!!!! Giacomo is such a wonderful guide! Prepare for a full immersion, as he's taking you on board! We learned so much during this tour, and we now view several buildings of Valletta under a different light! I had no idea of the history of Valletta under the Knights and Corsairs and not only Giacomo made the tour really informative but also memorable and interesting. Jokes were on point and his good mood was contagious. Such a perfect tour! We enjoyed it a lot, so much that now we want to treat ourselves with the tour of Mdina! Thank you Giacomo for your professionalism and the messages before and after the tour, it feels really nice and the experience is full! Till we meet again! Céline

A «dark», historic walk through the beautiful streets of Valletta. Giacomo Muscat guided us vividly through the «dark» streets of Valletta. The theme of our tour was «The Sinful secrets of Valletta – Blood, Booty and Courtesans» and that’s exactly the story Giacomo gave us through his acting and storytelling. We could almost see, smell, feel and hear the knights, corsairs, slaves, pirates, poor, priests, nuns and a few «ordinary» people back in time. Thank you for an amazing night, Giacomo. This is an event not to miss!

Best experience of my 2024. The Valletta Sinful Secrets tour exceeded my expectations , I've travelled and done my share of tours, but this was like my top highlight to day! Our guide (Giacomo) is exceptional from initial communication and meeting him, we knew we were in for a treat, he's warm, friendly and knows his stuff. We also had many a good laughs along the way. What fun it was seeing the capital from his themed perspective. Loved it! Seriously you should charge enough more for the value of this wonderful experience ! Thank you for this treasure of a tour! Best. .Jo Nelson

Mdina walking tour with a difference. We booked the Malta themed tour to Mdina. This promised to be a thrilling and enjoyable tour. Well, it superceded my expectations a 100 times over. The narrator Giacomo Muscat aka Mikele the Corsair, was funny, knowledgeable, full of enthusiasm and involved those present by learning their names and asking them to participate, to contribute their views and opinions about what would next. It was the best 2.5 hours walking tour we've ever attended. The drama, the secret, and the mystery of the tales/historical events unfolded as we strolled the dark and winding streets of Mdina. Well done, Giacomo, for this well researched and well played role. Would definitely recommend it to both Maltese and tourists alike. Marilde and family 18.10.2024.

This whole experience was fantastic, from the very funny back and forth emails with Giacomo when booking from England before we went (thanks also for the many helpful tips for things to do and see on the Maltese islands, many of which we ended up doing), to the evening itself with the simply brilliant Chris as the Corsair. Extremely educational and delivered with infectious enthusiasm. Puts everything in a much wider context; this isn't the conventional 'pantomime' piracy of eye patches, pieces of eight and parrots, but more about profiteering as a mutually advantageous political discourse to both defend the Grand Harbour and contribute to the coffers of the Knights of St John. As my daughter says below, don't miss it, there's nothing else like it.

Greatly recommend. Very happy that I found them. The best corsair in the Mediterranean. Firstly, I am extremely grateful for the time Giacomo and Chris spent with me on trying to understand our needs and desires, working on setting up a nice tour to fit the budget and everyone's needs as we had 7 year old with us as well. Secondly, consideration and patience, also involving our kid (later we found out that Chris is also a teacher) and fitting into our schedule. Lastly, thank you for your personal untraditional point of view and interpretation, it was really refreshing.

We were on a cruise and stopped in Malta. I arranged a tour with Chris who was exceptional. He customized our tour according to our time and requests. He was friendly and kind and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with him and loved the tour of Malta. I would highly recommend him!

I visited Malta with my adult son, who is, usually, not fond of guided tours, so I tried to find something exceptional to get him interested, and - yes! - this corsair tour was absolutely brilliant! We were lucky to have it all for ourselves - as it happen no other guests booked the tour on the same evening. The only disadvantage was the noise - streets of Valletta is overcrowded in the evening, and sometimes our points of interest were surrounded with loud music and noisy people, but in general it was very good anyway. We both highly recommend it!

My husband booked this walking tour as part of our wedding anniversary stop over in Valletta. We have stopped in Valletta a couple of times but we learnt so much about places we have walked past previously, on this 2 hour tour with Chris aka Shandru.
We were the only people doing the tour on this rainy evening but the guide still put lots into the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Corsairs in Malta and its not a long walk so is suitable for all ages. Think my grandchildren would love some of the stories and being shown around by a real life Corsair (legal pirate).

This is not your conventional tour! It present a side of Maltese history that - even though very intriguing - hasn't been spoken of enough! Chris, the tour guide, is clearly very passionate about the tour and history. He himself becomes part of the story, with colourful descriptions based on a lot of research. Informative and fun, with details that surprised me (even though I'm a local!)

We highly recommend you add this tour to your Malta activities! Chris is in full Corsair character and does an outstanding job in bringing history to life! He tells interesting stories about fascinating historic characters and does it all with humor so that we really enjoyed listening and laughing! Our evening walk was perfect as the crowds had left and we could really imagine all the stories with beautiful Valletta as the setting. We learned so much about the Maltese and the Knights of Malta! An excellent activity for all ages! Thank you Chris.

We did half day trip to Hagair Qim, Marsaxlokk and Blue Grotto. I enjoyed the trip even I was there 3rd time. 😉 Chris Schembri is a good guide and simpatic person, very into Maltese history and devoted to his work. Highly recommended. Btw. I lost your visit card, but I want photo of our group! :D.

I was looking for unique tours in Malta and was so happy to find this company. And they didn't disappoint! I had a fabulous tour with Chris, or rather I should say Xandro the Corsair 🙂 He is a great storyteller, passionate and engaging! The organisation of the tour is well done, providing fascinating facts that I would never have imagined! It gave me a whole new perspective on Valletta and Malta. My only regret is that I didn't have time to do more tours with them. I guess I'll just have to come back soon! Thanks so much!!
