Overview

Discover the Silent City Mdina on a private walking tour.

Mdina, Malta's former capital, holds over 4,000 years of history, rich in historical events and intriguing anecdotes. It once hosted the Apostle Paul and has endured invasions and earthquakes through the centuries under a succession of rulers. On this private Mdina and Rabat tour, your licensed guide leads just your group through Mdina's narrow streets and behind its imposing walls, reliving the major historical milestones along the way.

You'll hear stories that aren't documented in the normal guidebooks before crossing into neighbouring Rabat, where the walking tour concludes in the main square with our recommendations for exploring the surrounding area. Because this is a private tour of Mdina and Rabat, you set the rhythm. Pause for photographs, linger over the details, or dig deeper into whatever intrigues you.

This flexible, guided tour of Malta's ancient capital is ideal for cruise shore excursions or anyone wanting a personalised way to explore Mdina and Rabat.
