Overview

Today’s guided excursion takes us to the central part of Malta, dominated by the medieval fortified city of Mdina, Malta’s former capital city. The narrow, winding streets, dating back to medieval times, lead to the imposing bastions, commanding a magnificent panorama of the island. On the way there, you will discover different styles of architecture, including Siculo-Norman palaces and other baroque buildings of great historical importance. Time stands still in this ‘Silent City’ which is a film-maker’s paradise.

Leaving Mdina through Greeks’ Gate, we stop at the early Christian catacombs in Rabat before proceeding to the cliffs at Dingli.

We enjoyed the entire tour. Our guide, Philippe, was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area’s history, architecture and fun facts. Our driver, Marco, was spectacularly adept at avoiding traffic. Our favorite stop was Mdina. It was so rich in Malta’s history.

Useful tour to see some of Malta’s sights, but too many people - 31 - to one guide. The tour requires that you change buses twice, with time lost with each bus change.

Walking through Mdina was the highlight of the tour- our guide Lisa brought Rabat and Mdina to life for us. There was a large group of us tourists and Lisa handled everything perfectly and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and area we toured.

I think this could be a great tour with smaller groups. The locations were great but the tour itself felt disorganized and the guide was choppy.

This tour could have been much better if more time was allocated for the afternoon visits to Mosat and the craft villages. We spent well over an hour for lunch and the time could have been cut down here. We were not expecting a 3 course lunch in the middle of the day. It was also difficult to hea...
