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.

A walking tour of Rabat and Mdina which they are next to each other. We met (a group tour) near the gate of Mdina and start the tour at Rabat. Pointed couple of buildings until we went underground which is nice and cool where the Maltese people hide during the bombing during ww2 and the catacombs during the Roman time. Left the underground and tour Mdina and tour and pointed out important local attractions like the nunnery and etc. The tour guild was good and spoke very good English. We met at the gate and start on time.
