Overview

Discover Mdina and Rabat through the eyes of a true local, not simply as a visitor. Our guide has lived in the area all his life, with family roots stretching back centuries, bringing a unique personal connection to the history, people and traditions of these remarkable towns.

Explore the historic streets of Mdina and Rabat, admire their architecture and landmarks, and uncover the stories behind the places you see.

This is more than an Mdina and Rabat walking tour. It is an opportunity to understand the essence of the place through local eyes, combining history, architecture and authentic Maltese stories.

We recommend visiting museums and sites such as the St. Paul's Catacombs independently, allowing you to explore at your own pace and avoid the confined atmosphere that can come with group visits to underground sites. Then join us for the guided experience, where we bring the history, architecture and local stories together.

What's Included

  • Tourist Guide services by a Rabat resident who will show you the hidden treasures of these places.
  • All museum or church entrance fees in case of any such fees.
  • Gratuites
