Overview

This is the Original Mdina and Rabat walking tour. We were the first to introduce the concept of walking tour in this city.

Take a journey back in time with our guides on the Mdina Tour, admiring the magnificent palazzos and churches in the city’s unique mix of medieval and baroque styles, as well as the spectacular panoramas from the high bastion walls. Learn about the colorful history of Mdina and the many sieges it endured, offering shelter and protection to the Maltese population against the frequent pirate attacks. Hear the story of how the Maltese uprising against the French started in 1798.

This walking tour is the best tour you can take in Mdina and Rabat so as not to miss out on anything worth seeing in this city.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
