The Good Friday Food Experience

/person

This is a tour of Mdina, the old capital city, and its suburb Rabat with a detailed explanation of the Good Friday and Holy Week traditions along with the normal commentary of these two beautiful towns.

The professional tour guide, who also lives in Rabat and knows the place inside out, will be taking you through the main streets but also the backroads of both Mdina and Rabat. Along the route we will visit a number of temporary exhibitions related to Holy Week, we will visit a number of churches to see the Altar of the Repose including an incredible 18th century one and we will also be seeing the lifesize statues which later on in the evening will be carried on shoulderback through the streets.

Due to Christian rules of not eating certain foods in Lent, we have a number of traditional foods which are eaten only at this time of the year. We will be tasting qassatat, pies, fried dough with anchovies, honey sweets, carob sweets and the bread of the apostles all included in the price.

"This was our second tour with Christian and he didn't disappoint. There was a ton of variety for the food. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area. I'd definitely recommend this tour for people who want to know all the standard information about Mdina, plus extra about the locals and their lives. Come hungry because there is a lot of tasty food you don't want to miss out on."

"Everybody should start their holidays with a tour hosted by Christian. He can tell you so much about Mdina and Rabat it is unbelievable. The places where he takes you and stories associated with it are very interesting. The food underway is just delicious and is of more value than you would expect. Christian himself is just a most friendly and knowledgeable host who tailors the tour as you go based on your interests. Again, couldn't recommend it higher, a must-do on your holiday!"
