Great tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable and a verified guide in the past 30 years! She told us about Malta’s history, the local history, the language, food and the Maltan culture in a very enjoyable way. Also, the tour was the perfect length.

Excellent tour of Mdina and Rabat - Mary was an excellent tour guide. She explained the history of Mdina and Rabat and then pointed out interesting background information on the tour. I could tell that she was very experienced. Highly recommend both Mary and the cities of Mdina and Rabat.

Mdina and Rabat Walking tour - Fantastic tour! Angele had an absolute wealth of knowledge. Perfect way to learn about the historic city of Mdina. Super interesting! Deservedly very popular. Someone who was not part of the tour and had been on a previous tour with Angele, went out of their way to come up and thank her for their previous experience 👏👏👏 Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks Angele!

Excellent Tour of Mdina and Rabat - We booked the tour last minute as we had only decided to go on a walking tour two days prior. Detailed meeting instructions were given, and instructions said guide would have a red umbrella. You couldn't miss the umbrella and guide Marisa. She was absolutely excellent, so full of knowledge, very friendly and highly recommend. My friend is hard of hearing, wears hearing aids, so couldn't have the guided tour ear piece. However, Marisa ensured that she was always facing her when she spoke and that she was at the front of the gathering so she could hear. She said Marisa had clear diction so my friend said she could easily hear her. Absolutely excellent. Walking tour was fabulous and loved visiting Rabat as well.

This tour is very well worth doing - Meeting point was clearly. Communicated and met up on time and easy to locate our guide. There were about 24 in the group but with good audio equipment from the guide, it was easy to follow her and hear clearly what she is saying along the way. A very easy walk that starts at the Mdina fortress gate. Meander thru the fortress and ended at Rabat, the old town. Guide was very knowledgeable, very friendly., and shared many Maltese ways of life alongside the sights as we went. A bathroom break (free entry) about 3/4 way through was nicely timed. Highly recommend doing this with City WalkingTour.
