Not a good service. Less "hop on, hop off" and more hop on, stay on for hours and choose one or two stops wisely. I believe there were only 4 buses doing the entire route, so you simply cannot get off at as many stops as you like as the time will be up and you will have to make your own way home. Also, buying a ticket online was a complete waste. After purchase we got an email saying we needed to go all the way to Valletta to activate our ticket and couldn't just get on at the nearest stop. This took up an hour of our time getting to Valletta by local bus and we made the second last bus of the day (the last bus leaving Valletta leaves around 1:30pm). The staff were rather unpleasant and unhelpful. We had to go back to the staff to ask for the brochure and headphones and this seemed like an effort to them and they didn't speak just handed them to us. The announcements on the headphones were very limited. We stayed on the bus for maybe 1 hour 45 mins without getting off as we had to choose our one stop (as time allowed) wisely. We got off in Mdina which was a lovely and interesting town and made our way back to our accommodation by local bus. Have done these tours in many other cities and they have been great but this one was just a waste. Malta is such a beautiful country with so much to see and do. Just don't waste your time with this company doing it. Take the local bus instead. They're regular and go pretty much everywhere. The weekly or 12 trip cards are very reasonably priced so MUCH better value.

I had an excellent tour of Malta, which was customized and a private tour. I could visit all the interest points in Malta starting from Traxien Temples, Blue Grotto, Hagar Qim and even Popeye Village. Irina was very helpful from the very beginning she made suggestions and customized the itinerary because I only had limited time during the day before my flight

We had booked the Blue Lagoon and Comino trip with a sandwich and drinks. The trip took 2 hours to get there lovely sail and plenty to drink with great views of Malta. At the Blue Lagoon, be careful when you land, and mam sure you ha good shoe on, very uneven steps and footpaths, but the lagoon makes up for it, we had a great time of a 4 hour stay, well worth the €30 each.

Yesterday we went on the Fernandes, I was very happily surprised to see the level of professionalism, the beauty and upkeep of the boat, and the delicious food. The captain threw the bread in the water so the snorklers got a special surprise pf swimming with a school of fish. The boat had stairs that you can jump off or go down into the water. They cover the buffet with clingfilm, so the level of hygiene is beyond what I expected. Well done to the crew, who are very friendly and dp their utmost to make sure everyone is happy
