Douglas was great!

I had a brilliant few hours on the Medina and Rabat tour with Douglas, who was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He was a great storyteller, really bringing the history of the two cities to life. I only marked it down slightly for organisation as I had oddly been added to a different tour in Valletta in the morning even thought I booked the afternoon tour in Mdina/Rabat. However, I really commend Douglas who sorted things out on the spot and I was able to enjoy the tour.

Highly recommended

We really enjoyed our trip to Rabat and Mdina! Douglas guided us through the underground sites as well as the historic streets of Rabat and Mdina. He shared fascinating insights into Maltese history, religion, and everyday life, along with many interesting local stories. The 2.5-hour tour flew by so quickly that we barely noticed the time passing. We had a fantastic experience and highly recommend this tour!

What a wonderful way to get to know Mdina and Rabat. Ian, our guide, took us through 2000 years of history, with details and humor and provide us a fantastic experience in these two cities.
