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.

We really enjoyed the M'dina and Rabat walking tour. Marissa was a great guide, knowledgable and interesting! She gave us some nice facts in Mdina that wouldn't have known otherwise. (I was thinking at some point how much I wished to have had someone like her teaching history back at school ^^) thanks !!

We were their on the 25th of June. It was such an interesting place to visit especially for those who love historical backgrounds. St. Paul’s history was very interesting. My hubby and I didn’t know that Malta is a very catholic country until we get their. The tourist guide, didn’t even ask his name, explained everything clearly and in order. I strongly recommend this place.

The knowledge and experience level of your guide was really good and very professional. Yet, the clarity and the pronunciation of English are not that good as we were strangling to understand some words that were critical for the tour. This is a general problem we faced in Malta and at "Get your Guide" as well.
