A good way to see Valletta and The Three cities from the water. The guide was prerecorded but at a good pace with lots of interesting facts about the harbours and surrounding buildings. It wasn't very busy when we went so we were able to move around the boat to take photos with ease. A rival boat (red in colour!) was packed out I recommend opting for this tour operator instead. The crew were very friendly.
