My experience was terrible. Buses are all super old and broke. Doesn’t have audio at all, so you pass by places and don’t even know what you’re seeing. Bus drivers are not even a little bit polite, doesn’t use microfone to inform stuff and I even had the “unluck” of waiting to hop on and the bus driver just passed by me, making me wait for another 45 minutes for the next bus. Really a waste of money.

Starting your tour at one of the many pick up points in the North of the island, the adventure begins following a quick tour of Valletta's outskirts before making your way through the Three Cities & a short 15 minute stop in Vittoriosa.

Next up is a 30 minute stop at the Blue Grotto. These stunning sea caves provide excellent photo opportunities. Continuing back north, you will stop for an hour in Mdina, a fortified medieval city on the top of a hill. The tour concludes with a drive through Mosta before returning to the North & your desired drop off point. Optional harbour cruise available.

This is a really interesting mode of transport to use when visiting Gozo on a day trip from Malta. Great view over the countryside from the top deck. Good value for money. Tickets can be purchased at the port in Malta or on arrival in Gozo.

Feel like one of the ‘in’ crowd as you pass by the towns’ most widely frequented beach clubs.

We decided to go to the 3cities/smart city so we packed the scooter in our car n drove to isla. We had such a blast! Scooters go up to 20kmph, uphills are no problem for them. Battery lasts for approx 3 to 4hrs depending on the weight of the person. This is really fun. I highly suggest it. The owner gave us a very good explanation upon pick up and the service was stellar. Scooters are as good as new and have good suspension which is ideal for maltese roads.
