Mdina and Rabat walking tour. - Fantastic walking tour with Angele, she has vast knowledge of the area, so much so she answered all my questions before I even asked them. She brought the past to life and also added humanity and humour in the tour in just the right places. Would definitely recommend this tour

A Very Professional And Knowledgeable Guide - Whichever city we visit we always book a walking tour as it’s a great way to both discover areas you may not find by yourself and gain an insight to the culture and history The Mdina and Rabat tour was no exception and our guide Angele was very knowledgeable and we learned so many interesting facts. She spoke excellent English and her presentation was interspersed with humour. The narrow lanes of Mdina were exceptionally busy but the fact that we were provided with headsets meant that we could easily hear Angele even if we were several metres from her. A five star tour and we would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting Mdina

Valletta and Mdina walking tours - Angela was professional and friendly. The dialogue was very informative and clear - we did both the Valletta walking tour and Mdina/Rabat walking tour. Good pace and loads of detail from historical facts to modern day. Very knowledgeable guide. Thanks for making our visit to Malta sp much better.

A Good Experience - The two hour walking tour was the right amount of time. The group was about twenty five people but thanks to the Whispers it wasn’t a problem hearing our guide, Angele. She was very knowledgeable and open to any questions from the group.

Our guide was so informative and knowledgeable - This tour is a must if you visit Malta. The peace and tranquility of the area as well as the history makes the two hours pass by too quickly. There is as much or as little as you may want to see and even when the tour has finished there is plenty to do on your own. The number on the tour is limited, it’s not overcrowded and the headsets worked perfectly.

Very busy Mdina - The guide did a great job with a big group and very busy streets. It was great to have headphones so we could hear her even if not close. She provided lots of information that we wouldn’t have heard about otherwise. Lower stars are not for the tour pre say just wasn’t our favourite place/ tour of our trip.
