Tired of the same old ordinary tours? Journey through Medieval Mdina, the "Silent" city shrouded in mystery. But in the year 1425, the city was anything but peaceful.
Discover why danger lurked at every turn, and civil wars raged between power-hungry nobles and seafaring, piratical Knights.
Feel the weight of history as you wander through the narrow medieval off-beaten streets that have withstood the test of time and more.
On this immersive and interactive walk, you’ll get a taste of what life was like during this dark, turbulent time and hear of a world of intrigue, adultery, and forbidden love.
Meet Mdina's elite as they plot their way to the top during a time of civil war, sieges, and invasions. Amidst backstabbing and betrayal, the families that made Mdina great still find time bed-hopping, all while shaping the destiny of Malta in a real "Game of Thrones"
Join your costumed rogue Maltese guide on a journey through their little-known but intriguing story and dark secrets
