This is the Original Mdina and Rabat walking tour. We were the first to introduce the concept of walking tour in this city.
Take a journey back in time with our guides on the Mdina Tour, admiring the magnificent palazzos and churches in the city’s unique mix of medieval and baroque styles, as well as the spectacular panoramas from the high bastion walls. Learn about the colorful history of Mdina and the many sieges it endured, offering shelter and protection to the Maltese population against the frequent pirate attacks. Hear the story of how the Maltese uprising against the French started in 1798.
This walking tour is the best tour you can take in Mdina and Rabat so as not to miss out on anything worth seeing in this city.

4.00Guide often started his next explanation before all of the group had arrived. Guide was difficult to hear in some places on the tour. For cost of tour size of group could have been smaller
Excellent guide - made the experience!

5.00Excellent guide who took the time to answer questions throughly, keep us in the shade and out of traffic. Clearly communicated to the group - extremely knowledgeable and open to learning even more! Info we were sharing about the Brazilian / Portuguese connections with Malta.
Nice way to see Mdina.

5.00Dominic rocked this tour. He is witty, knowledgeable and cared about his guests. Well done. He compressed 9000 years of history into a 3 hour tour whilst holding the attention of our group. We came away with a better understanding of the beautiful island of Malta.
Excellent tour

5.00James was a very knowledgeable guide and we were grateful for him finding us the shady spots to stand in during the tour! Would recommend the tour for anyone wanting to know more about Mdina and Rabat! The catacombs and WWII shelters were also very interesting to see.
