“Worst experience ever”
Unfortunately the tour was a total lost of time and money. Ben was acting weird like an actor on some influence of sth. He tried to be funny and up to date but was ridiculus instead. He only wished to have an applause and get as much money as possible offering every possible method of payment. Very big disappointnent :/

“Great experience”
Our tour of Mdina and Rabat was an absolute delight! Mdina, the "Silent City," was simply breathtaking—its majestic walls, narrow streets, and timeless charm made us feel like we had stepped back in time. Walking through its quiet alleys was a magical experience. Rabat, with its peaceful and authentic atmosphere, was the perfect complement. Strolling through its tranquil streets allowed us to truly soak in the local charm. We ended our tour with some delicious pastizzi at a place recommended by Ben, and they were the perfect treat to wrap up a fantastic day. Ben’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and excellent recommendations made this tour truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

“Review of a Guided Tour of Mdina and Rabat, Malta With Ben”
If you’re looking for an unforgettable journey through history and culture, a tour of Mdina and Rabat in Malta with Ben is the perfect choice. This was one of the most interesting tours we have experienced on Malta and the key part of that experience was our exceptional guide Ben.
Mdina - The Silent City
The tour began in Mdina, known as the “Silent City.” Walking through its narrow streets and elevated walls, we felt as if we had stepped into another time. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, providing not only historical facts but also intriguing stories and legends that added a unique charm to Mdina. His storytelling brought ancient knightly tales to life and helped us imagine what life within these walls might have been like centuries ago.
Next, we explored Rabat, which is equally rich in cultural and historical treasures.
A Guide Worth Every Recommendation
The guide was a true professional—a perfect combination of knowledge, passion, and a great sense of humor. His ability to tailor the tour to the group’s interests and answer all our questions was impressive. We felt as though we were in the company of a friend who genuinely wanted to show us the best of what Malta has to offer.
