Fascinating Tour of a Beautiful Place - Our tour with Carmen was a wonderful morning. She is incredibly knowledgeable and informative about both Mdina and Rabat. We learned a ton of details about what we were looking at and she also took us to smaller places and shared unique details that we would have never known unless we walked with her. It was an excellent look into the cultural and historical background of the region. We ended up having a private tour which was great and we appreciated that she still ran the tour with just the two of us. She gave us many recommendations of how to spend our day there including restaurants, shops, locations to see and even a quiet spot for my husband to take a work call later in the afternoon. We would highly recommend doing a tour with Carmen. She is very professional, flexible and has a wealth of knowledge. It was a great day.

Great tour - I would really recommend this tour. We had a nice small group so we were able to ask more questions. The guide is very friendly and knowledgable about the history and culture. The route takes quiet streets so it's very relaxing and beautiful.

Visit Mdina and Rabat with an expert guide. - Carmen was a brilliant, highly knowledgeable guide. When we turned up about 20 minutes late (due to the bus from Valletta not turning up, which then compounded with traffic), we were hugely relieved to find Carmen waiting at the meeting point. She was able to show us parts of Mdina and Rabat we'd never have found without her, including such things as the underground church and the "Foundling Wheel" (see photo) which was placed in a hospital wall in the 1500s to allow mothers to deposit unwanted babies. Carmen also pointed out some great places to eat, which we visited after her tour. Highly recommended.

Best Tour Guide In Malta - "Our two-day tour of Malta with Carmen from Journey Malta was nothing short of spectacular! Carmen's knowledge of Malta's history, culture, and hidden gems truly enhanced our experience. From the stunning architecture of Valletta to the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk Carmen expertly guided us through every moment with enthusiasm and passion. Her personalized approach and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs throughout the entire journey. We left Malta feeling enriched, inspired, and grateful for the unforgettable memories Carmen helped us create. Thank you, Journey Malta, and a special thanks to Carmen for an exceptional tour experience!"

Great tour with an excellent guide - Our guide Carmen was courteous, friendly, informative, and kept up our interest throughout the tour. She was able to enhance the tour with personal experiences and anecdotes. We loved the enclosed nature of Mdina, but also thought Rabat was also a great place to visit. Note: The dome shown in the photo is the Mosta Rotunda- well worth a visit

Great experience - Carmen is a real expert in history and art, and has a great passion for what she does. Mdina and Rabatt are a must visit in Malta of course, and are perfect for instagram fotos too. I was lucky to witness a local festival during the tour, and Carmen explained what was going in detail. A small tip, if you are at Mdina and have not visited Dingl cliffs yet, take 201 from there and you will reach the cliffs in 15 mind. I highly recommend this tour.
