Takes you around all of Malta all the little fishing villages would recommend a stop off at Mdina it’s beautiful. Both tours last a very long time and the buses are every hour so plan ahead. It can also get busy when cruisers are in!

Great way to see Malta. I do feel that compared to other HoHo busses internationally, the audio guide was very limited. I would have enjoyed more discussion and explanation of the various sites

Highlights

  • Explore the historic island of Malta on an open top bus tour
  • Discover fortified settlements including Mdina and the Three Cities
  • Visit the stunning Blue Grotto Caves
  • Hop off at Marsaxlokk - a traditional fishing village
  • Drive through Mosta with it's domed church

Full description

Get a taste of the unique island of Malta on a bus tour and boat tour. Discover over 7,000 years of history as you drive past heritage sites, popular attractions, and beautiful natural landscapes. 

Running during the summer months of the year (May onwards), the hop-on hop-off route starts from Bugibba, passing through Qawra and St Julian's and on to Malta’s capital city Valletta. You'll then make your way south where you will be able to experience and visit historic temples and sights along the way.

Following your stop at the Blue Grotto, the tour heads back up north and inland stopping at Roman sites and points of interest and then back to Bugibba via Golden Bay on the North-West coast.

With over 30 stops and 50 points of interest along the route, discover this Maltese Island like never before. Experience key sights including the Mosta Church and Dome; Ta’Qali Craft Village; and Rabat with many Roman Sites such as the restored Roman Villa, St Agatha’s Catacombs, and the medieval town of Mdina.

Enjoy the famous 'Three Cities' and the Tarxien Temples believed to be built around 3000 BC. Marsaxlokk is a traditional and picturesque fishing village that is sure to delight you.

It provided good value for money. I did the 2 day pass with boat tour and did North circuit one day. The South 2 days later snd the boat tour on a third day. Very convenient timings were great considering the roadworks narrow streets in Valetta etc. As a solo traveller it was a great way to get around
