History, Humour, and Hidden Gems – A Truly Special Tour - Thanks again to Mario for a fantastic tour that brings Malta’s rich history to life. The palazzo and the family were lovely and so welcoming. I’ve always wondered what the inside of a historic Mdina home looked like, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything, from the grand entrance to the rooftop views. The snippets of history told by a Master storyteller, Mario, and delivered with electric wit are what make Dark Malta Tours my absolute favourite among all the tours I’ve taken around the world. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Become enlightened on a Darkside tour - This tour is not complete without the guide. He shares such a wealth of knowledge and his connection to the family at the Palazzo makes for a comfortable and informative visit.
