Special Guided Visit of Mdina and Rabat - Chris, our guide around Mdina and Rabat, was excellent. He involved everyone in our small group and gave us a very fascinating talk on Malta/Mdina and Rabat's history. He highlighted so much more than we would have been aware of on our own. Overall, we are delighted to have taken the tour with Chris, our charasmatic, friendly and knowledgable guide. He certainly made our visit special. Gordon and Grace

Engaging Storytelling! - This is the second time I have done this exact tour with Christian over the past several years and both tours were fresh and engaging. He was extremely attentive to the members of the tour and their interests. My wife and I learns so much that would not have come from a book and despite having been to Rabat and Mdina several times, every se one of the tour was engaging and fruitful! Thank you Christian!

Our guide, Chris, was a... - Our guide, Chris, was a born and raised local with clear passion for and knowledge of the area. Our tour group had a range of ages and he skillfully engaged everyone and set a reasonable pace. I would suggest picking a later tour in the day to avoid crowds (makes better photos too!)

Best way to start our honeymoon! - It was a great experience! Chris was awesome and made it educational but also funny. He also made sure we were in the shade when he could which was awesome for my pale Canadian skin haha. Would happily do a tour with him Again!

Wonderful tour with local, passionate about sharing his cities’ history at a good pace - highly recommend!! - Brilliant tour well paced by experienced guide who lives in Rabat! My 2nd tour with Chris as my guide - I knew this would be great given my tour without rushing him in Valletta. Again put everyone at ease by asking where we’ve all travelled from. Given the walking to be done, first 15 mins were seated with history explained. We then moved into Mdina Gate and inside to the streets with full explanation of certain noble’s palaces- how they came to own them and what is happening today with some converted to restaurants/cafes/shops etc. Walked inside the cathedral which you can see from Valletta on a clear day! Walked along part of the wall and explanation given of what we were seeing. On our way to Rabat, comfort stop suggested, then we walked a circle around churches, seminary, main squares and where to eat (as your ended at 5.30 pm). Chris is passionate (on both tours) & proud to show off his cities and their histories. We actually went 20 mins over time but Chris didn’t mind - he loves what he does! A true gem for the company. And I hope one day Malta does win Eurovision!😉

If there were 6 stars I’d give them … - Chris was a great guide - knowledgeable and ensured he tailored the tour to the group. He learned or names and was interested in us. His passion and insider information was really brilliant. I’ve done lots of tours and would rate this one as one of the best. Thanks Chris.
