10 Sightseeing Tours in Mdina That You Shouldn't Miss

July 21, 2021 Karren Gelb

Graceful Mdina, the stately town known as the Silent City, holds court from the southwest corner of the captivating island of Malta. The commanding medieval Old City perches on its rocky promontory, its fortified bastions looming above the azure waters of the Mediterranean. This enchanting Maltese city offers a warren of narrow streets, populated by churches, palaces and gracious houses, punctuated by large squares and delightfully free of cars in its UNESCO-designated ancient quarters.

We did this last year in our visit to Malta - a great way to see parts of the island that you otherwise wouldn't think to visit. The tour guide knows his stuff and made for a an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend even if you haven't watch Game of Thrones.

Regardless who you are, if you're going to Malta, you have not experienced fully without this guided tour of Valletta. In one day I did first the Valletta tour and then the Mdina tour with Matthew as a guide and I could not have been more satisfied. The way Matthew tells the stories of the city, reflecting on the leadership of the various knights of S:t Johns order and the strategic location of the city up until more recent times, makes you want to start studying history yourself. Even more, a real historian true to his form, Matthew skilfully relates the more contentious topics of the history and politics of the region's last millennium or so, but with objectivity, so that you yourself learn the different points of view and get a deeper understanding of what has formed Malta as she is today. To summarize - don't come to Malta without taking this tour.

Walking through the streets of Valleta and realising the city has such a rich history. My tour guide was great and provided a lot of context as we passed each street. I've been on many walking tours and have realised the tour is just as good as your tour guide - luckily for me, my tour guide was amazing making it such a rich experience. Highly recommend the Valetta city tour!

This was excellent value for money! Everyone we dealt with was professional and our driver was amazing. The night before our tour we arranged an itinerary for the next day by email and the timings suggested for each stop were spot on. No waiting around in the hot sun for the bus and in 5 hours we saw heaps. Highly recommend.

We were picked up at our hotel on time. Water was provided for both of us (it was a HOT day). Our guide explained the sites and worked with us to pick the ones that were the most interesting to us. While we were in the sites exploring, our driver would surprise us with samples of the local foods when we got back to the car. Excellent experience!

An excellent day trip. Mindaugas picked us up on time and started our tour. We had a walking tour first then continued looking at the sights. We had lunch on the roof top of a restaurant with fantastic views. We found Mindaugas a professional and excellent guide. Well worth doing.
