The tour is absolutely worth it. Our tour guide, Stephen, was more than knowledgeable. We liked that he is passionate when transmitting the information. The sites we visited were just the right amount for the time we had. The food was delicious. We didn't want the tour to end.

What a wonderful tour guide Chris is. He is a local from Rabat and you can tell how much he loves his home town. It was a pleasure being shown round by him and you can tell by his interactions with nearly every local we met how well liked a guy he is. The group was a maximum of 12 so a really personalised tour. Chris was full of interesting and fascinating facts and also had some funny stories. The catacombs were a real delight to see and not every tour visits these. So glad I chose this tour and cannot recommend it enough.
An amazing tour of Mdina and Rabat.

This was a truly memorable tour of Rabat and Mdina which included the world war two shelters, catacombs and St Paul's cave. The architecture and ambience of the area is amazing but Christopher our guide brought the whole place alive with his tour. He is obviously a local with a real passion for his home and it's incredible history and was riveting from start to finish. One of the best walking tours we have ever been on.

The tour was really amazing. The guide was both entertaining and knowledgeable. The Catacombs were an intriguing addition to the tour and a pleasure to visit. Also, the small size of the group was a nice aspect of the tour.
Chris is AMAZING!! Do this tour

Chris's knowledge is incredible. It was a walk through history with friendly meetings of locals as we walked through the ancient cities of Rabat and Mdina. His connection to the history was very obvious and his way of imparting his knowledge fun and easily understood!
