“It was good seeing the countryside and the guide was able to tell us something of life in Malta. I liked the convenient pickup and drop-off points and the fact that I didn't need to worry about where to alight from the bus. Negatives are - not enough time to see things properly. We were supposed to go to three craft outlets at Ta'kali - we didn't get to the ceramic outlet and we only had about 20 minutes each at the other two. They were spaced out between each other so it's not as though we could have walked between one and the other. When we got to Mdina,…”
