Overall rating

(255 reviews)

Our guide was very nice and he took us all over Malta. The only problem is the vehicle was too small for four adults. He made good suggestions and we had no trouble finding him after he dropped us at each site. We would highly recommend him.

the Hop On Hop Off could drive more often, but the pass really turned out to be a good thing. very well organised and a lot of sites to see during this one week.

great little aquarium. please go to the talks the education team are super enthusiastic and amazing

Liked the layout of what includes and all pricing, good communication from provider too

Too beautiful, too bad the aquarium is small, the visit lasts 15 minutes
