“I thought the organisation and pace of the tour was perfect. I chose the bus option on Gozo which I would recommend which gave us some great photo opportunities as suggested and two hours in Victoria . Enough time to see citadel and main sites and even a coffee and a beer. Blue Lagoon was lovely . Staff were great throughout on boat and service good. Highly recommend”

“Great day with Tony („Balony“) on the water This was a fantastic day- Tony (77years old) is such a perfect guy and extremely funny. Three great swimming spots, caves and a couple o well told stories made this a wonderful day out. Our daughter(25) enjoyed it a lot, too. The crowd was very mixed - old and young and completely international. Absolutely recommended.”

Catamaran day trip from Sliema or St. Paul’s Bay to Gozo and Comino, with free time and Blue Lagoon swim stop.

“Lovely day out - get there early to get a seat/bed! Swimming and food was good :-)”
Full-day Gozo and Blue Lagoon cruise from Sliema, with Victoria and Cittadella time, plus Comino swim options.
“Firstly, the Gozo Tour is a drop off into the centre of the island and then you are told to be back for a certain time. It is not a tour. had we known that we wouldn't have booked. Then you are packed onto the buses like sardines to get back to the boat... Get more buses please. Blue Lagoon was beautiful and worth the trip, even though it was busy it was still beautiful. If you want travel and drinks, this is a great trip but it isn't anything more. Oh and a heads up, only one toilet on the boat and it is very small.”

Modern catamaran ferry cruise to Comino, with Blue Lagoon swimming, free Wi-Fi, and relaxed island time from Sliema or St. Paul’s Bay.
“Our recent ferry trip was unfortunately disappointing due to several organizational and service-related issues. The boarding process lacked structure and efficiency, leaving passengers waiting in the sun without clear guidance. Ticket scanning and embarkation were chaotic, causing unnecessary delays and confusion. When assistance was requested, some crew members were unhelpful, impolite, and in some cases provided inaccurate information about the boarding process. This gave the overall impression of poor coordination and inadequate customer service. In addition, not all ticket options are available through the app, which makes booking less transparent and more complicated than necessary. For...”
Private bus from Sliema to Blue Grotto views, an easy hike toward Xutu Tower, a cave boat tour, plus swim and free time.
“Ride, hike and boat trip were excellent. The waiting times for the bus rides could be improved (more than 30 minutes for both rides).”
Malta 2-day hop-on hop-off bus plus harbour cruise with North and South routes, flexible days, and waterfront views from iSeeMalta.
“It's easy to explore the most important sights. But you have to be careful, as there are two providers on the island, so you can't take just any bus. You also have to pay attention to the signs, as the north route buses are not necessarily blue. Unfortunately, the audio guide provided does not work on every bus. They are not the newest. We took full advantage of the offer with a two-day bus tour and a harbor tour on the third day. (Tip: sit on the right side so that the explanations match what you are seeing.)”
Hop-on hop-off buses plus a 90-minute Grand Harbour cruise in Malta. See North and South routes and ride at your pace for one day.
