Ernest demonstrated great local knowledge. The tour gave us a good understanding of Malta’s history in general and how Mdina and Rabat fit into that. Lots of emphasis given to the many cultures that have contributed to the rich history. We stayed on afterwards to walk round again at our own pace and to check out some af the side streets that weren’t covered. 2 hours is a really good amount of time for this tour.

Our tour guide Angela was so informative and knowledgeable and also good fun. She showed us lots of things that we would never have noticed like the spy windows. Highly recommend this tour.

Full description

Mdina is a fortified hill-top urban settlement located at the very heart of the Maltese Islands. Founded by the Romans, for almost two centuries it served as the administrative and political capital of the Maltese Islands. It is to this day the seat of Malta 's episcopacy.

Meet your guide at the Mdina Main Gate by the bridge and start your tour with an introduction on the city's historical background. You will then proceed to discover the “Citta' Notabile”, the Noble City, its medieval name which describes it best it was home then, as now, to Malta's noble families. You will see the impressive palaces, churches, and convents that line the narrow medieval streets. As you wind your way through the narrow streets you will be thrown back in time.

The neighboring suburb, Rabat is just a stone’s throw away. There you will make your way through the old quarter and enjoy Maltese vernacular architecture.
