Excellent English-speaking Malta tour guide - Mario was an amazingly clear and insightful guide with a wonderful personal touch. We would really recommend his tours if you are after something extra and out-of-the-ordinary, and which inspires teenagers too. We immediately booked a second tour with Mario after enjoying this one so much!

An amazingly extraordinary tour of the stunning town of Mdina - As our first tour with "Dark Malta Tours" we decided to book this one and enjoyed it from the very first minute till the very end of it. Mario is a great host and keeps your attention alive all the time. His stories are very well told and are also terribly fascinating. You can understand that he is passionate about his job and likes to make everyone involved and happy. We will surely take his other tours as we absolutely loved the first one and want to know more about the dark histories of different towns or places in Malta. Highly recommended.

Fantastic storyteller - Mario is a fantastic storyteller and each story has a link to the next place to visit. He speaks very clearly so even if you are not a native English speaker you should have no trouble understanding him. He relates his stories back to modern day to add a bit of humour. More interesting than a standard walking tour. Mdina is also a must visit whilst in Malta.
