Malta · MDINA AND RABAT TOURS
Mdina emptied out when the Knights moved to the harbour and never really refilled, which is why it is quiet enough to hear your own footsteps. These 15 tours pair it with Rabat’s catacombs, the Dingli cliffs or a night visit. Prices and durations for each.

See Mdina, Dingli Cliffs, and San Anton Gardens on a guided Malta half-day tour with hotel pickup, transport, and flexible cancellation.
“Would highly recommend the tour, especially when you want to visit these three spots (Mdina is a must-see in my opinion!) and you prefer a very convenient way of transportation plus explanation around the spots! Bus driver and tour guide were super friendly. Mdina however is worth spending more time (we only had 40 minutes), so it’s worth going there again or staying there for a bit longer”
Explore Mdina and Rabat on a relaxed two-hour guided walk through medieval lanes, noble palaces, churches, convents, and Maltese local life.
“I had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of Mdina and Rabat. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail, which really brought the history of both places to life for me. She made lots of stops along the way to point things out and show me interesting details I would have missed otherwise. She also gave great recommendations on places to visit, which I found very helpful. She was such a warm, kind, and lovely woman, and she made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Malta.”

Review of Malta’s full-day Mdina tour, with catacombs, cliffs, gardens, Mosta Dome, lunch, hotel transfers, value, and practical tips.
“Irena was an excellent guide, very happy and knowledgeable. The sites she took us to were fantastic. Botanical garden, St Catalda catacombs where you’ll encounter an elderly lady of no higher than 5ft who energetically guards the entrance to the catacombs with fierce dignity (she’s lovely), Dingly cliffs (not much here but the view), San Pawl church at Rabat, Mosta Rotunda (you’ll see the unexploded German bomb somewhere near the entrance). The tour included a very nice meal of penne pesto, roast pork chop with roast potato and peas, a glass of red wine 🍷and a local pastry for dessert. I would definitely recommend this trip.”

“Pick up point not as first stated at hotel. Transfer bus/ van was old & uncomfortable. No information given regarding advanced programme of the day. Guide was knowledgeable but unorganised. His microphone battery died at start of trip. No information given regarding lunch. No consideration for older slower people.”
Review of Malta’s four-hour tour through San Anton Gardens, St. Paul’s Catacombs, Rabat, and Mdina, with practical tips and value advice.
“This was a nice tour, we got to see the gardens, Mdina and Rabat. The highlight of the tour is definitely Mdina. The garden and the catacombs were a nice addition though. The guide was very knowledgeable and quite enthusiastic. I would recommend the trip, but bear in mind that it could take some time to pick up all the participants from their hotels.”

Explore Mosta’s miracle church, Ta’ Qali crafts, and Mdina’s medieval streets on a practical four-hour Malta tour.
“It was good seeing the countryside and the guide was able to tell us something of life in Malta. I liked the convenient pickup and drop-off points and the fact that I didn't need to worry about where to alight from the bus. Negatives are - not enough time to see things properly. We were supposed to go to three craft outlets at Ta'kali - we didn't get to the ceramic outlet and we only had about 20 minutes each at the other two. They were spaced out between each other so it's not as though we could have walked between one and the other. When we got to Mdina,…”
Review of Malta’s Valletta, Mosta, and Mdina night tour, including the 5D show, pickup details, value, highlights, and honest drawbacks.
“Den guidade turen var bra med en informativ och kunnig guide. Det som kan förbättras är informationen gällande upphämtningsplats. Jag kunde välja en upphämtningsplats där det visade sig att bussen inte stannade utan den stannade vid en busshållsplats ett par hundra meter bort. Detta ledde till onödiga förseningar för hela gruppen.”
