What an experience highly recommend - This was our 1st walking tour slightly nervous in 32* heat and 2.5 hr walk, don’t hesitate without a shadow of doubt the only way to experience Mdina and Rabat in all her glory. Our guide was exceptional his knowledge on the tour was incredible with questions encouraged from our multi cultured group of 20. Very professional and patient giving out the historical facts. He made it personal and fun too very well spoken. WW11 tunnels and St Paul’s grotto a highlight not to be missed. A treasured memory to keep forever

Highly informative tour - We had two tours with Matthew, Mdina/Rabat and Valletta, and were so impressed by his knowledge of the history of these cities! The tour of Mdina/Rabat was so informative. Very helpful for first-time visitors to Malta.

Good tour - Matthew was a knowledgeable tour guide who shared with us the history of the city. It was hot but he tried his best to speak in shaded areas, which made the tour pleasant.

Interesting tour of two ancient sites - A very interesting Maltese guide. Lots of history and cultural information. Gave us time to stand in the shade and, for those that needed it, a quick comfort break.
