Beautiful town with excellent preservation of the walls - If you visit Malta, Medina would be a stop not to be forgotten. Beautiful cathedral and its museum at a cost of 15 euros, well spent. It can be reached by public transport by getting off in Rabat at a cost of 2 euros. The Medina Citadel is perfect for a tour of history.

Mdina and Rabat walking tour. - Fantastic walking tour with Angele, she has vast knowledge of the area, so much so she answered all my questions before I even asked them. She brought the past to life and also added humanity and humour in the tour in just the right places. Would definitely recommend this tour

A Very Professional And Knowledgeable Guide - Whichever city we visit we always book a walking tour as it’s a great way to both discover areas you may not find by yourself and gain an insight to the culture and history The Mdina and Rabat tour was no exception and our guide Angele was very knowledgeable and we learned so many interesting facts. She spoke excellent English and her presentation was interspersed with humour. The narrow lanes of Mdina were exceptionally busy but the fact that we were provided with headsets meant that we could easily hear Angele even if we were several metres from her. A five star tour and we would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting Mdina
