Chris was an excellent guide who really brought the area and its history to life. Despite torrential rain at times, he kept the group engaged and gave us a locals insight into the city. Good value for money and would highly recommend.

Chris is phenomenal. His personal connections to the area and vast knowledge of the history make this tour a can't miss experience. The price is very reasonable, a bargain really. He is perfectly punctual, still leaving ample time for photos, snacks, and restroom stops. The route is an easy ambling pace that is perfect for most people, regardless of activity level. He keep the group small so there is an intimate atmosphere to the tour. We actually booked with him 3 times because we enjoyed the tour so much! Best way to see the beautiful island.

Wow, we really can't recommend this walking tour enough. Chris was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this beautiful area he has lived in all of his life. As a small group tour we were so relieved not to be in some of the huge groups we saw as everything was so much more personal. He remembered our names, enquired after where we'd travelled from and related some of the Maltese history to our home countries. Absolutely fascinating and well worth the money.

An amazing tour of Mdina and Rabat. Our guide, Chris, was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Chris' passion was evident throughout. He made the experience enjoyable. He brought the city's history to life with fascinating stories. Highly recommend this tour.

We first joined Chris on his walking tour of Valletta in September 2023 on a cruise visit. We said we would be back and kept our word. Chris is a brilliant, knowledgeable, engaged and engaging guide. He works hard to explain the history of his beloved country, and more specifically Mdina and Rabat (his home town) on this tour. It was made even better by starting at 4pm so it was cooler, and as the tour finished, the sun was setting making the local limestone buildings look stunning. The pace was easy for us (slightly) oldies and his English is excellent. I even forgave him for tricking me over the royal cipher on the postbox in Mdina (King Edward 7th, not Queen Elizabeth 2nd)! We can 100% recommend this tour, and especially Chris, and hope to be back one day for another.

This experience is absolutely worth your time! Chris is incredibly friendly, especially with children, making the tour welcoming and enjoyable for the whole family. He was patient and engaging, even when the kids were doing their own thing. As a lifelong local, his deep knowledge of the history and daily life in M’dina and Rabat really shines through. His anecdotes and stories bring the place to life, revealing fascinating details we never would have discovered on our own. The tour felt very personal. Chris gave us plenty of time to rest, explore, take photos, and even pick up local treats along the way. A wonderful, well-paced, and insightful experience!

Chris was wonderful. He was so passionate about Mdina and Rabat. We learned so much about the history of Malta and were given excellent restaurant recommendations. We went to one and had a great meal. This might be one of the best tours I have taken. Thanks, Chris
