The starting point was a bit far from our initial arrival point in Valetta (by ferry from Sliema), but this was a very interesting was of visiting the city. This was the first time I went on a self guided tour with riddles and puzzles along the way and I’ll try to do it this way again in other cities I’ll visit. I recommend it if you want an interesting way to explore.

We really enjoyed the self-guided tour. You saw a lot of Valletta and solved small puzzles. So it wasn't "just" a sightseeing tour. You set the pace yourself, and you can also make additional stops. Tip: the first 2/3 stations are outside the city wall and can easily be covered with an e-scooter. To recommend :)

It's the first time we've explored a city in this way and it won't be the only time :-) Very entertaining, although not particularly difficult to solve. Tip: Shortly before 12 it is worth being at the Saluting Battery!

Very nice route around Valletta and some of the most important attractions. Nice and challenging puzzles!!!

A really fun way to tour the sights. The riddles were not too difficult and even the teenager liked them.
