How it works

A guide in your ear, and nobody to keep up with

A walking tour that starts when you arrive, goes at your pace, and lives in the browser you already have. Here is the whole thing, in order.

01
Choose a tour
Three stops are free, on any tours you like, up to two on one tour. The rest is one payment, with no account and no app to install.
02
Download it for offline
Save the audio and the city map to your phone before you set off. No signal or roaming needed on the walk.
03
Follow the map and listen
The map shows where you are and the way to the next stop. When you get there, press play.

Three stops are free, on any tours, up to two on one tour. This one is about 3 minutes long.

Against a guided walking tour

What is being compared	This guide	A guided walk
Starts	Whenever you arrive	At a fixed time you must not miss
Pace	Yours. Stop, double back, sit down	The group’s
If you are late	Nothing happens	You have lost the tour
Group size	You, and whoever you brought	Fifteen to forty strangers
Hearing it	In your ear, at your volume	Over traffic, from the back
Repeat it	As often as you like, for ever	Once
Cost for two	One purchase, shared	Two tickets
A live guide	No. This is the trade	Yes — and a good one is worth it

Narration for every stop on the tour, written for headphones and addressed to where you are standing.
A map that follows you as you walk, with the route traced along real streets rather than drawn straight through buildings.
The whole thing downloadable before you set off, so it plays with no signal, no data and no roaming.
Every later version of the tour — added stops, corrections, re-recordings — at no further cost.
No expiry, no subscription and no app to install. One payment, and it is yours.

Admission to anything. Cathedrals, forts and museums charge their own entry, we take no cut of it, and the walk works from the street without going into any of them.
A person walking with you. Nobody meets you, nobody counts heads, and there is no departure time to be late for. That is the trade.
Transport to the start, or between the towns. You walk it.
A human voice. The words are researched and written by a person; the narration is read by a text-to-speech model, and you should know that before paying rather than after.

A phone with a browser. Anything from the last few years, iPhone or Android alike.
Headphones, ideally one earbud rather than two — these are streets with traffic in them.
Comfortable shoes. Malta is limestone, and centuries of feet have polished it.
Water, and a hat between May and September. There is less shade than you expect.

Short on time? Every walk can be done in about an hour or less. Choose how long you have when you open the map.
