An Honest Look at the Downsides

While the experience is quite enjoyable, it’s worth mentioning that 35 days’ wait for your photos might feel a bit long if you’re eager to share your memories immediately. Also, transportation to the meeting point isn’t included, so you might need to plan your arrival at Mdina accordingly.

Some reviews have praised the photographer’s knowledge of Mdina and the creativity of the shots, but remember, this is a structured session — if you’re craving complete spontaneity or a more adventurous photo tour, you might find this too curated.
