Enjoyable, Educational, Informative - This was our first tour in Malta and it led us to book with City of Malta Walking tours for the Valletta tour too! I highly recommend this tour. Our guide Marisa was wonderful, very down to earth and funny at times she gave a great insight into Mdina and Rabat..What a beautiful place! The audio and earpiece set supplied was a great addition. Mdina can be windy but we could hear everything. Thank you Marisa! It was very enjoyable

A great tour around beautiful Mdina and Rabat. A must! - A lovely informative walking tour with a great tour guide who was passionate about all the local history. She also had a lovely sense of humour too. We are staying in Valletta so a bit of a bus journey to go but we are so glad we did it. Would highly recommended.

Engaging and educational tour in M’Dina - Nadine is excellent! She did a great job of explaining the history, architecture and provided fun facts that you would not read in a guidebook. We were lucky to be there in March which was already getting crowded with tourists. We highly recommend! Nadine was also our guide for Valletta which we would also highly recommend.
