About Tour Guide Martin F.
I’m Martin, a fully licensed Maltese tour guide with a lifelong passion for tourism. Over the years, I’ve worked across every facet of the industry—from hotel management to overseeing operations for a leading tourism management company.
I have hosted tour operators, travel agents, and key decision-makers visiting Malta for the first time. My role was to showcase the island's potential and convince them to include Malta as one of their main destinations. I didn’t just plan itineraries—I crafted unforgettable experiences. From cultural and historical highlights to seaside charm, vibrant nightlife, and hidden village gems, I ensured every guest experienced Malta at its most vivid and welcoming.
My career also took me beyond Malta. I’ve managed tourism operations in destinations such as the Azores, Sicily, Dubai, Oman, and the Canary Islands—broadening my perspective and deepening my expertise in destination management.
As a guide, I bring more than just facts. I bring context. I know Malta’s history and its role within the broader story of European events. I know the island’s rhythms, its culture and traditions, and where to find the best cafés, restaurants, and tucked-away treasures. Whether it’s arranging access to the top of a church belfry, exploring closed-off sections of Valletta’s fortifications, or enjoying the peaceful pace of an off-the-map village, I can create experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.
Important
I can work Mondays to Saturdays any time except Sundays. Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day on request only.
All my tours can be emended and adjusted to suit your tastes. If there is any place you wish to see or aspects you would like to prioritize, please ask.

Valletta is more than Malta’s capital—it holds 500 years of Mediterranean history: political, social, and commercial. Discover its heroic birth, daring design, and mighty fortifications.

Visit its architectural gems, enjoy stunning views, and hear the tales these ancient walls still echo. Join me for a tour like no other. We shall be walking throughout the tour.

Malta’s Mysterious Megalithic Temples DECODED
As Ice Age glaciers receded, a mysterious culture emerged in Malta, launching an era of megalithic temple building. Despite the Mediterranean Copper Age, no copper tools were found here, raising questions about their advanced architecture. This tour explores the spiritual world of these builders, rooted in earth-based goddess worship, and how their beliefs still echo in Mediterranean traditions and inspired works such as Dan Brown’s novels and Erich von Däniken's speculative documentaries.

“Zwei tolle, individuelle & erstklassige Touren mit Martin”
Unsere private Führung mit Martin in Valletta am 6. und 7. März war ein echtes Highlight unserer Reise. Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe von fünf Paaren, und Martin hat die Tour sehr individuell und persönlich gestaltet. Am Freitag führte er uns durch Valletta und erklärte dabei nicht nur die Geschichte Maltas und der Stadt, sondern auch die besondere strategische Lage der Insel im Mittelmeer. Seine Erklärungen waren spannend, lebendig und sehr verständlich – und das in ausgezeichnetem Deutsch. Nur bei einigen speziellen Begriffen wechselte er kurz ins Englische, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war. Der krönende Abschluss dieses Tages war der Besuch der beeindruckenden St. John’s Co-Cathedral. Am Samstag ging es weiter zum St. Catherine’s Monastery – ein absoluter Geheimtipp, da dieses Kloster erst vor kurzem für Besucher geöffnet wurde und deshalb noch weitgehend unbekannt ist. Anschließend machten wir eine wunderschöne Hafen-Cruise ab Sliema, bei der wir Valletta und die historischen Befestigungen noch einmal aus einer ganz besonderen Perspektive erleben konnten. Martin ist ein äußerst kompetenter, engagierter und sympathischer Guide. Er hat sich um alles gekümmert, jede Frage aus unserer Gruppe geduldig beantwortet und die Führungen mit vielen interessanten Anekdoten und echten Insider-Informationen bereichert. Wer Valletta und Malta wirklich verstehen und gleichzeitig eine unterhaltsame, entspannte Tour erleben möchte, sollte Martin unbedingt buchen – mit ihm macht eine Führung nicht nur schlau, sondern vor allem richtig Spaß.

“Excellent, knowledgeable, adaptable guide.”
Martin was Great. He was able to quickly pivot to change our tour as we had already seen some of the content. His knowledge was first-class. He was very friendly, considerate and obliging. Martin went above and well beyond with Additional scope and time which we were more than happy to compensate for, beyond his expectations. A 1st class person.

I have tours around the two islands of Malta and Gozo with my own transportation. I have been doing this for eight years and with an experience over 18 years in Taxi service. The service offers to give and share our history with others. I have our programme tours around but I would also be able to satisfy the customers with their wishes.
