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.

5.00It felt more like a standing tour than a walking one, but the guide made up for that with his enthusiasm, knowledge, and helpfulness. Don’t expect much movement, as the actual sightseeing is fairly limited. That said, the tour offers a wealth of information and insight.

5.00Mdina and Rabat are very beautiful. A must see! This tour is a great way to wander around the narrow streets and understand their rich history. Carmel, our tour leader, is excellent! He is very knowledgeable, passionate and caring. He is educational but very entertaining as well.

5.00Carmel provided so much historical perspective, which added greatly to our experience. He was a fantastic guide! I do not believe Mdina / Rabat would have ‚made sense‘ without the tour.
Very interesting and good value for money.

5.00The tour lasted for 3 hours. It was very interesting and good value for money. The meeting point was easy and clear. Our guide, Carmel, was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and very courteous. This was long enough. Other tours that last all day and include a cheap lunch are too much.
Varied tour
