Great Tour of Mdina and Rabat - Great tour of Mdina and Rabat. A good introduction to the history of the two and some key sites. Our guide, Ernest, was a an excellent communicator who bought hr history alive and added more modern detail too. Our guide didn’t have a microphone but had no problem making himself heard; might be an issue for some so perhaps worth checking. Otherwise 5 star.

Inland visit from Valletta , worth seeing - Well worth a visit to see Mdina and the suburb Rabat. Made more interesting by a booked walking tour. Mdina is very beautiful.

Stunning - Our guide was lovely and obviously took great pride in her home . Mdina was very impressive and steeped in history but for us the best part was Rabat which was stunning.

Worthwhile - The tour was excellent, guide knowledge and passionate but the audio was terrible. Hopefully they invest in better equipment as the tour itself is worth it

Mdina is a must - We really enjoyed the guide - he had knowledge of the local culture which was appreciated. Mdina was great, a lovely old wall city, We did not get the same level of enjoyable from the Rabat section of the tour.

Mdina - It was ok. Tour guide didn't have a lot of int info. We had done a tour 2 years ago and found the guide much more interesting than today. We were keen to see again. If you have never been it's worth seeing for sure.

Left behind by guide - I met at the meeting point for the tour half an hour before meeting time, 10 o clock. When it was 9:05 there was still no guide or no other participants around. I know i followed the map on the booking right to find the meeting point, so i can only assume that the guide started at another spot with the other participants. I wrote to support and they said that all 15 that has booked the tour found the guide, but not me. And i think it’s bad service that i couldn’t get in direct contact with the guide so i could be found og i could find them.
