• 3Mdina and gardens beautiful, but too much selling going on.

  Mdina and the gardens are beautiful. We found there was too much time in odd places like an artisan market we were pushed into just 2 shops and a strange stop at some cliffs where there was a stall selling produce. Too much selling and not enough tour. Also we had the same van driver taking us home as took us the morning before to our last trip. Absolutely terrifying. Doing FaceTime and vaping, speeding through residential areas and over speed humps. The van sounded like it was on its last legs and the windows were cable tied shut. Very glad to get off it.

  It rained at the beginning of the tour, but the rest of the tour went well. Beautiful historic sites and views. Would recommend-a bit of walking involved so wear comfortable clothes and shoes!

• 5Wonderful tour

  This was a great way to see multiple sights. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable & provided a lot about the history of Malta throughout the tour.

• 3Guide was good but transport to place to divide to language groups didn’t use time well

  3 stars because of wasted time waiting for van to take us to another location to divide the group to go in different language groups. With only one day to see Malta, we had to minimize the time spent on other things we planned. Frustrating for sure. Our English guide was friendly and thorough.

• 4Worth a trip to Mdina

  This was a great way to see the centre of the island. Very well organised. Our guide took us to Mosta first but this felt a litttle rushed as very little time to take pictures from the outside. Then we went to a craft village to see jewellery making and glass blowing. Quite interesting to see how it was done and a chance to look at souvenirs. Then came lunch. Wow a 3 course dinner with wine. If you don’t drink however you have to purchase your own soft drinks. Then we went to Mdina and Rabat. Lovely quaint streets and if you’re lucky enough like me you might see them all decorated for a celebration. The Dingli cliffs were a huge disappointment though as I think we were taking to a part that was less dramatic. We ended up In the San Antonio gardens which was pleasant although the highlight here was seeing turtles swimming in the pond and a peacock that just strolled up to us. 30 minutes is probably enough time there as not much else to see. Great trip however. Really enjoyed it

About Mdina

Mdina is a walled medieval hilltop town in the middle of Malta, the island's old capital, with narrow lanes, palaces and a baroque cathedral.

Mdina stands on a plateau in the centre of Malta, enclosed by bastions, and was the island's capital until the Order of St John moved to the harbours in 1530. Cars are largely kept out, and quiet lanes of honey-coloured limestone, palaces and shuttered balconies earned it the nickname Silent City. St Paul's Cathedral, a baroque church built around 1700, stands on a small square among old palaces.
