My daughters and I loved the tour. Our tour guide was perfect, providing us with historical facts and interesting information, with a lot of humour. We will never forget walking around Mdina at night admiring the beautiful buildings and taking in the history.

    Great tour with excellent guide

    Neal_B, Mar 2026
    Very knowledgeable tour guide that spoke in both English and French during the tour. Shared lots of information and interesting facts and was always happy to answer any questions. Pich up and drop off the the hotel in Sliema worked perfectly.

    Rico_v, Aug 2025
    It’s not only captivating to see these sites at night, but a having a very knowledgeable guide tell us all about Malta, history and culture, was very entertaining.

    Great way to see history at night

    James_R, Jul 2025
    Interesting historical perspective of the cities, opportunity for Greta photos, cooler weather and less crowds.

    Awesome Nightime Tour

    Wonderful tour with amazing night sites great information and stunning historical sites supported by great information from the guide

    Nice tour for those on a short schedule

    ANACLARA_G, May 2025
    I had very short time to get around Malta, so it was the perfect tour to go to Mdina and Rabat, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for me to visit those places. Was nice to be there with no crowds, so peaceful. I'm sure it's quite a different experience. I would only recommend for visitors to get dinner before the tour. Ours got a bit late and once I was back to Valletta, there was nowhere open to grab some food.

    Don’t recommend this TOUR

    Wonderful tour with very dynamic and interesting tour guides. We very much enjoyed learning the history of Malta.

    Great guide and lovely evening

    Matt_G, Oct 2024
    We had a very lovely time walking through each city. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all the sites. It was such a nice and unique experience to see each city lit up by evening lighting.

    Overcrowded

    Steven_D, Sep 2024
    If you like 60 person group tours, slack communication and a tour done in 2 languages (which doubles the tour time) then this is for you.

    Good illumination tour

    Jennifer_C, Jun 2024
    Good illumination tour of the waterfront, Mdina and Rabat. Pick-up was relatively painless but had to wait for a vehicle to drop us off at the cruise port. Mario the tour guide did a satisfactory job and we have no complaints about this tour.

    Great evening option!

    Kelsey_B, Apr 2024
    Great way to maximize your time in Malta. The pick up service may be a bit delayed - but they will arrive! Very convenient and informative.

    Great way to see Malta at night

    Emily_S, Mar 2024
    Mario our guide was very knowledgable and explained each stop really well, it was lovely to see the sights of Malta lit up at night and to have a quiet tour of Mdina

    Barb_C, Feb 2024
    Great night. Chantal was very informative. Picked uo & dropped off @ hotel. Beautiful night for a stroll through Rabat & Mdina. Nice to avoid crowds, lots of stops along the way. Highly recommend.

    Fab, well worth a go

    Rachel_H, Sep 2023
    Fab tour with loads of great info on all the different sites we went to and passed in the tour bus Mario made the tour fun and exciting asking us our thoughts on why things were done they were So much better going at night as you got a chance to see everything without the hustle and bustle and day time tourists

    Rabat und Mdina bei Nacht

    Matthias_G, Sep 2024
    Wir wurden Pünktlich abgeholt und sind nach Valletta gefahren. Dort sind wir ein kleines Stück gelaufen. War soweit sehr schön, hätten wir auch drauf verzichtet denn wir brauchten ja noch ne Weile mit dem Bus nach Mdina. Rabat u Mdina war super bei Nacht, hätte lieber dort mehr Zeit verbracht. Es ist sehr Empfehlenswert. Anna war sehr Nett und konnte sehr gut Deutsch.

    Viste de nuit

    Francisco_P, Dec 2023
    La calma de las calles de Medina junto a sus monumentos te transportan a otra época. Estuvimos con una guía excelente que en todo momento nos daba explicaciones de que los detalles por pequeños que fueran. Era muy atenta y empática.
