Mdina and Rabat Walking Tour inc. Catacombs and St. Paul's Grotto
Description
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.

Another fantastic tour with Douglas who was also our guide for the 3 hour Valetta tour as well. Very knowledgeable, a lovely way about him, great patience with different kinds of people on his tour, loads covered, taking I to consideration all needs of his party. We also love the guy (Aldo?) who comes with him as well and has super knowledge as well. Plenty of photo moments as well as covering all the basics you would expect. Fantastic and the you for two outstanding walking tours on your island of Malta

Our guide was lovely, well informed and he passionately shared his knowledge about Malta. He answered our questions and he was patient and polite. It was a lovely experience. One I would do again,if I come back to Malta. So much information! I am excited to go back to England and share all the information with my class,who are learning about the Romans. Amazing,simply amazing. Thank you.
5* for our wonderful guide, Dominic. He was engaging, kind, and knowledgeable, I couldn't have asked for a better "host." I learned so much about the history of Malta and definitely feel this was an excellent value. We booked a walking tour at the peak heat of the summer day, which was not smart on our part. But our guide worked hard to find us shady spots to stop throughout the day. He worked well with the other tours so even though it was crowded, things never felt chaotic, even in the catacombs/bunkers, which were thankfully cool, but also very tight. The only drawback of the tour for us personally was the length - it was supposed to be 2.5 hours, but I think went closer to 3.5. We could have broken off early, I suppose, but wanted to finish he experience with the group. So I wish it could have been better paced. I would still recommend this tour because of the variety and depth of what you see and learn. However I would recommend bringing plenty of water/snacks on your own and also maybe scheduling for a time of day when the weather is mild.
Brilliant all-inclusive Scottish guide. Considerate of all the groups needs. Great tour and repertoire of knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip thank you.
