Malta · MDINA TOURS

“Guide had excellent knowledge & a good sense of humour which made the tour even more enjoyable. The use of radio ear phones to listen to the guide made sure you could hear her clearly- which a lot of other tours I noticed didn’t have , & so made this tour exceptional”
Mdina and Rabat walking tour with local guide Chris, small group size, classic Silent City views, plus church stops in Rabat.
“We absolutely loved the part of the tour that focused on Mdina. The guide Chris did a great job explaining the history of the area, the nuisances of the Maltese nobility over time, and pointing out architectural features of administrative buildings and private residences. The sounds of the city (still lived in) were wonderful. Where the tour fell short for us was the Rabat section (last 1/3 of the tour). While we greatly appreciated the guide’s personal connections (lives in Rabat, we went to the church he attends), it became a bit centered around his own experience. Also, while we were very impressed with his overall knowledge, when we asked…”

“Had a fantastic Mdina and Rabat tour today with our local guide, Chris. The tour was incredibly informative, full of history, and delivered with great humour — never boring for a second. You could really feel how proud and knowledgeable he is about his heritage, which is rare and so refreshing to experience. Everything was well paced and thoughtfully organized. Truly a great tour and highly recommended!”

“I have never written an online review of a business. We have previously been on several Viator tours which were quite enjoyable. This was the most disorganized tour I have seen by any tour company. First they had our names listed as someone else which resulted in several phone calls to resolve at the beginning of the full day tour. Next we were taken to buses to meet other groups to be assigned to buses for different tours. A good bit of time was spent putting groups on busses and then taking them off and putting them on different buses. We finally started the tour. Our guide was ill and…”
An 8-hour guided Malta tour linking Mdina, Rabat catacombs, Dingli cliffs, San Anton Gardens, Ta’ Qali crafts, and Mosta Rotunda, with lunch.
“Whistle top tour, little time at each place you would have to go back independently for more but the guide gave good description. Lunch was poor and the staff at restaurant unhelpful getting served. The craft village was just a shopping place where there was given the most time to spend money. This should have been left out of the itinerary to give us more time elsewhere.”
