Mdina, Rabat, Dingli cliffs, San Anton gardens, Ta' Qali & Mosta guided tour

This tour sells itself. Unfortunately, the tour guide was limited in her presentation skills. She would begin her comments before the group caught up with her and had a tendency to look away from us when she spoke which made it difficult to hear her comments. That aside, she took us to wonderful locations and seem to be knowledgeable when you directly ask her questions.

Overal we had a great day with a very good guide. The Soundsystem in the bus was not strong enough to capture everything. Mdina is a must see. At lunch there should have been more wine.

Mdina was a nice trip but the two last stops from trip was in two shop just for trying to sell us some things. Also the quality and the amount of food was quite unpleasent.

It was a really good tour. 4 starts because the English speaking tour guide was 30 min late and it was chilly out, and we had to get a new bus because the microphone didn’t work on the first one. After we got started, the tour guide was VERY knowledgeable and the stops were awesome. The provided lunch was good in Rabat. I loved that we saw the gates to King’s Landing from Game of Thrones! I would go on this tour again and I even tipped the guide. She made up for being late with her knowledge and the sights.

Julia the guide was excellent and she made the tour worth it with her excellent knowledge of all the places we visited and about Malta. The tour was well arranged with amazing locations. Food was excellent and beyond expectations. Only one small critic is wish we had more time to explore things.

Comprehensive taste of Malta by Ana, knowledgeable and professional. The lunch was excellent. All in all, a superb tour and great value for money.

I am always aware that there are livelihoods and careers behind all these tours and, therefore, am reluctant to be overly critical in fairness. But, heart on heart, I simply cannot recommend this tour. From the beginning, it was so poorly organised, with lots of waiting around, that it was such a waste of time missed on actually seeing places. The morning itinerary was very weak. Waiting a long time off a main road near the gardens for the company to organise groups, guides, etc. Over 30 minutes was wasted in this. A lot of time in a pretty but boring garden (40mins) and then only 10 at the cliffs which were quite nice. Whilst the buses were eventually comfortable, we wanted to be out seeing the sights, not in a large bus or in large groups just waiting for people to disembark, get back to meetup points, slowly walking through streets and stopping to really see/talk about nothing. You miss out on all the nice bits to see. I have never, in all 135 countries I have visited, dropped out of a tour, but by 11am, enough was enough and I quit in Mdina and continued myself. Taxis are cheap in Malta, especially with a local handy app. So spent the day doing the tour myself and taxing it back in the evening to Sliema. You aren't wasting so much time waiting around doing nothing. My advice is do it yourself. So easy. Lunch was planned to be early afternoon, then catacombs, then a glorified gift shop. Lunch offered was only pasta soup starter and then only pork or cheese salad for non-pork eaters. I read the reviews beforehand so I am not Sory I missed that. Overall, an absolute waste of time and , simply put, sadly, not worth it. Go it alone, all the info on where to go is online or in guidebooks. Malta is tiny and so easy to explore. Please, don't waste a whole day of your precious time doing this, sadly.

This tour was a mixed bag. Pickup was right on time and organized. The morning part of the tour was great - San Anton Gardens, Dingli Cliffs and walks through Mdina and Rabat. Francesca was a great guide and even though she had to say everything in Italian and English she handled it very well and it wasn’t bothersome. Once we hit lunch, everything turned terrible. Lunch was beyond horrible and you did not get any choice of what they fed you. So if you don’t like pasta with canned sauce that tastes like olive paste or fatty pork with mustard sauce, there’s nothing to eat. It also took way too long - almost an hour and a half. Huge waste of time. The catacombs were ok, but they’re not the major ones - they take you to St. Agatha’s. The van didn’t show up for 25 minutes after we got to the meeting point, and it was pouring, which made it even worse. Mosta Dime was hugely disappointing - you just see the replica of the bomb and run through the cathedral to see the dome quickly - for an extra €2 they could take you to the air raid shelter and up in the dome but they don’t. The meetup with the buses to take us back to the hotel was incredibly dangerous - they meet on a bust street corner to split everyone up. Our bus was parked across the street and there’s a ton of traffic and no crosswalk. Stupid. Apparently there is a half-day version of this tour that does everything we did before lunch - lots of people left at that point. I’d recommend that and do Mosta dome and the catacombs on your own.

The spots we saw were average, except Mdina. So I think it’s a little bit overpriced. The Spanish guide was like a robot, and we couldn’t understand her very well. The explications were a little bit boring sometimes

The trip was absolutely wonderful! Our guide Bernadette explained everything so nice and interesting, it was perfectly organized and we got a great inside in Maltas super interesting history. I especially liked our visit of Mdina. Many thanks also to V.Tabone Travel in Malta for organizing everything so well! A recommendable trip for everyone interested in Malta and Malta’s fascinating history!
