Fun and engaging tour from knowledgeable tour guide! - Fantastic tour from a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide! Live locally and have walked through Mdina for many years, yet did not know some of this history and stories of Mdina people from the past! Great tour for adults and children alike. Thanks Mario, really enjoyed it!

Unmissable Tour Full of Laughs and History! - Mario is knowledgeable, hilarious, and you couldn’t ask for a better storyteller. I feel like I learned more in two hours than I have in the year I’ve lived in Malta. Bold history delivered with wit and humour. A total win of a tour! I’ll definitely be booking my next one soon.

Mdina history & mystery walking tour - This Mdina tour had lots of very interesting tales of history. Mario is a great story teller & brought all historical characters to life with his “dark” facts and tales from history.

Great way to spend an evening - Great story teller! I live in Malta, but never went on a tour. 10/10 recommend. Mdina is always beautiful, but night time is a lovely experience.
