5.00Even if the weather was against us, the tour led by Chris was great and really interesting. the explanations were plenty and the personal stories made this tour a success. This tour of the two cities with historic references is a good way to understand the complicated history of Malta. If you have an afternoon, go for it, it is worth the visit.
Loved Mdina

4.00We absolutely loved the part of the tour that focused on Mdina. The guide Chris did a great job explaining the history of the area, the nuisances of the Maltese nobility over time, and pointing out architectural features of administrative buildings and private residences. The sounds of the city (still lived in) were wonderful. Where the tour fell short for us was the Rabat section (last 1/3 of the tour). While we greatly appreciated the guide’s personal connections (lives in Rabat, we went to the church he attends), it became a bit centered around his own experience. Also, while we were very impressed with his overall knowledge, when we asked a couple of questions, he wasn’t particularly forthcoming with us. Touring Malta again, we would focus on Mdina only.

5.00Chris is phenomenal. His personal connections to the area and vast knowledge of the history make this tour a can't miss experience. The price is very reasonable, a bargain really. He is perfectly punctual, still leaving ample time for photos, snacks, and restroom stops. The route is an easy ambling pace that is perfect for most people, regardless of activity level. He keep the group small so there is an intimate atmosphere to the tour. We actually booked with him 3 times because we enjoyed the tour so much! Best way to see the beautiful island.
Best walking tour of Mdina and Rabat

5.00Wow, we really can't recommend this walking tour enough. Chris was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this beautiful area he has lived in all of his life. As a small group tour we were so relieved not to be in some of the huge groups we saw as everything was so much more personal. He remembered our names, enquired after where we'd travelled from and related some of the Maltese history to our home countries. Absolutely fascinating and well worth the money.
Entertaining as well as worth knowing
