"I have recently been on a tour in Mdina in Malta with Malta Themed Tours. It was called Medieval Mayhem in Mdina: Dark and Dangerous 15th Century Malta, and I hadn't had such a mix of laughter and learning in one go for quite a while! Our excellent tour guide, Giacomo, dressed for his character in ultimate historical accuracy, gave the tour so much passion, energy, attention to detail and elegant ushering. He delivered excellent guiding with a superb touch of acting and I will for sure follow other tours by this company! Take your family, friends and colleagues - you'd be in for a ride! "
