Beautiful Medina, beautiful Valletta, less Rabat - The valley city of alleys, colorful terraces, people walking in silence, smell of pastizzi and old English phone booths. beautiful Tritone fountain and entrance designed by Renzo Piano. Medina much more beautiful, the silent city, to be explored on foot or by carriage and horses, full of flowers and colors, scenically unique. Well connected to Dingli Cliff, and all mortar bus stations. Rabat the one I liked least.

Excellent experience with a professional & well-informed tour guide - I had an excellent time during the tour with the tour guide Julia who was polite, friendly, kind, understanding, and well-informed. She was passionate about her work and the knowledge she shared with me regarding the historical places was truly enlightening. A delightful tour where we had an opportunity to examine various aspects of Mdina and Rabat, for instance: the church where the nuns were living and architectural elements, i.e., the Mashrabiya which was of great interest to me. She was also considerate of the fact I only eat Halal or vegetarian food which she took into consideration and took me to a cafe where my dietary needs were met. I would highly recommend this tour, it is value for money and you enjoy a pleasant afternoon walking and enjoying your time learning about the Maltese culture, food, and history.

Must do Medina - 1 of the best Tours I've ever been on. My partner and I were the only people on the tour and it still went ahead. Julia was extremely informative ,funny and had fantastic communication skills. Even offered tips and information for the rest of our stay she made the whole experience extremely enjoyable. Great value for money and everyone who visits Malta should do this in a heartbeat

Such an interesting and fun day! - I had such a lovely day in Mdina and Rabat learning so much about Malta and its history and culture. Julia was both knowledgeable and passionate and gave just the right amount of information for me to be able to learn and at the same time take in the scenery at my own pace. Will definitely book other tours with Julia in the future!

Great fun, learnt loads, could rely upon this company and Foooood! - What an Amazing experience from such a knowledgeable, friendly and passionate tour guide. This is where you should put your money when you come to see Malta. I arranged with Julia our tour guide a trip for mdina and Rabat walking experience. We were let down on our previous tour with another company and Julia came at her own expense to pick us up so that our tour would run smoothly and we were relaxed.
It was my wife's birthday and our anniversary celebration coming to Malta. We were well accommodated by Julia and her team, fed well and Julia took out her own time to organise a romantic lunch at Coogis for us both. We were also treated on the tour with Pastizzi which was really nice, just make sure you have a lighter lunch than we did as portion sizes in Malta are MASSIVE! Julia did another private tour for us and took us to Valletta, we saw the night life in Valletta and enjoyed a Romantic dinner organised at Valletta waterfront. Thank you very much! As my wife says, it was "PERFECT"

Take this tour! - Quite simply…..take this tour! Julia was awesome, really knowledgable about Mdina and the unusual people that live there.
She had all the history and related it with humour and interest without being glib.
The views were fabulous and the buildings spectacular.
And…….there was cake!

Best part of our trip - We were lucky enough to get Julia to ourselves when we did this tour and it was a great experience.
Julia was very friendly, had a lot of knowledge about the history of the area and was very easy to talk to.
When the tour started, it started raining fairly heavily and Julia immediately said we could reschedule for free if the rain did not stop. Luckily, it stopped after 5 minutes and we had a fantastic time.

Easy tour of Mdina and Rabat - We were waiting for SÃlvia, who according to the reviews seemed perfect to us.
The tour was given by a colleague of his, who explained the details and history very well, friendly and friendly, but we were missing something else.
We got the feeling that the tour was done as a favor to SÃlvia.
