Walking tour of Rabat, Mdina, and the catacombs. - A great tour by an informative and comical guide! Really enjoyable thanks very much! We learned a lot about the area and the history.

Something different and fun - This is a elaborate and facinating site. Do not miss it if you can. there are tours, but it can get a bit crowded. Lots of meandering tunnels and well preserved crypts and tombs. It dates back to Roman times, maybe earlier

Very interesting - Our tour guide (unfortunately I can’t remember her name) and driver were both very pleasant. Very informative and interesting content. The walking was not too strenuous but did find the catacombs very warm inside. The history interesting and architecture beautiful. Would recommend this if you have a free afternoon

Not a bad tour but underwhelming - This is a good tour, just a little underwhelming for me. When I booked the tour, Inonly had the option for AX Seashells Resort pick up (there must have been some sort of glitch), annoyingly, this was a long way from where I was staying in St Julians. I had a little bad luck on my travels and had my phone stolen, so had limited access to Trip Advisor or emails, the tour was supposed to begin at noon and the time was changed to 2pm, I only discovered this when I couldn’t see anyone around to collect me. The advice of collection time changing was communicated at 3 or 4am that day - it isn’t the providers fault that I didn’t see the message but frustrating that it was changed on the day like this.
The tour started in San Anton Gardens which were very pretty, we were then dropped to Mdina and walked to the catacombs. The catacombs are small and would be just as easy to see without booking a tour, they’re a ten minutes or so walk from Mdina’s city gate.our tour guide was a really lovely lady and clearly very knowledgable; just not overly engaging.
The tour is good value for £30 but not one that I would highly recommend.

Visit San Anton Garden, Rabbat, Catacombs and Mdina - The bus driver has picked us up at our hotel. When the group arrived at San Anton Garden our guide appeared not to be there yet. After a call to the guide by the bus driver we could enjoy the fact that the guide was very surprised that we were already there and that it could take another 15 to 20 minutes before she was there. In itself that can happen, but if you arrive as a guide and don’t say “I apologize that you had to wait a while”, but take a very hautaine attitude and snap at questions, then I don’t think it’s neat. Her knowledge of what she told during the tour about San Antons Garden, Rabbat, the catacombs and Mdina was fine, only she spoke English with a very heavy Maltese accent which often made it difficult to understand. In itself a nice tour, but just had some bad luck with the guide.

Late and rushed. - Unfortunately the trip was over an hour late starting. It was also too rushed, there was no time to enjoy anything. It would probably be better to cover only two places.

Disappointing - The visit to the gardens en route to Rabat was a total waste of time - they were bare ofplanting and in a poor state of maintenance. The time would have been better spent in Mdina.
Far too long was spent on the coach collecting and, at the end, dropping of other clients.
The guide was pleasant t enough but difficult to follow as her English was not so good (I believe she was Lithuanian). The Catacombs of St Paul were interesting but the visit to Mdina was far too short.

Bad customer experience ... - Unfortunately the experience turned out very bad and very much stressful. 1st stop of the tour in the San Anton Gardens. The bus and tour guide left me there and kept on going to the next stop, the Catacombs. My mistake as I did not understand the instructions and did not meet the rest of the group at the right time but still nothing was made to help me out. I was standing on the sideway at the park, by myself, not knowing the city. I think the tour operator lady handled the situation pretty badly. Facing my distress, instead of calming down she just hang up on me on the phone, then did not bother to answer my calls or my texts messages. I did return to my hotel with public transportation without any assistance from the tour operator. I could not believe they just left me on spot ! This is not professional at all. Very bad customer service and very bad experience. It took me hours to recover mentally from it ! If you can, book same stops or tours but with a different company ...
