Mdina
The history of Mdina traces back more than 4000 years. According to tradition it was here that in 60 A.D. that the Apostle St. Paul is said to have lived after being shipwrecked on the Islands. Furthermore it is said that St. Paul resided inside the grotto know as Fuori le Mura (outside the city walls) now known as St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat. Lamp lit by night and referred to as "the silent city", Mdina is fascinating to visit for its timeless atmosphere as well as its cultural and religious treasures.

Love Malta!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Malta with our guide, Chamison, and cannot recommend him highly enough. From the start, Chamison was attentive, patient, and clearly passionate about sharing Malta's history and culture. He took us to a wonderful mix of well-known landmarks and lesser-known local spots that we would never have found on our own. His knowledge of Malta's heritage and stories behind each site made every stop so much more meaningful. What really stood out was how generous and thoughtful he was throughout the tour — he even treated us to some authentic local snacks so we could experience real Maltese flavors, not just the tourist version. It was such a warm and genuine touch that made the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. Chamison was easy to communicate with, flexible with our pace, and made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. We left with not just great photos, but a real appreciation for Malta thanks to him. If you're visiting Malta and want a guide who genuinely cares about giving you an authentic, memorable experience, ask for Chamison. Five stars, without hesitation!

The best guided tour to date. That says a lot!
From start to finish it was perfect. Never rushed, so much history, knowledge and exceptional level of information. Jason was simply great!! The car was comfortable too. So many bucket list places to visit in Malta covered in 1 tour. If you have a day, do it! And do it with this company, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Jason Kat (little legs) & Ben
