Explore Malta’s Three Cities by foot and dghajsa boat, with Knights of St. John history, harbor views, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“This is one of the most standout tours we’ve done while travelling thanks to our guide Donna. Donna’s passion for all things Maltese was evident from the get-go. She was informative without being long-winded, was funny without being cheesy, and did a good job of keeping our group under control without sounding like a primary school teacher. The tour itself was fantastic value for money and the three cities absolutely beautiful.”

Review the Sliema night harbour cruise, with Valletta views, a small boat, English commentary, pricing, timing, and practical booking advice.
“The boat ride was lovely because there were only 10 of us on board as opposed to the usual 50+. The tour however was read to us however by the vost drivers phone (AI/Computer). When It was run by Supreme tours, the boat driver was the guide and much more informative. For £17 however, its a great 1.5 hours to sit, have a few drinks, take pictures and juat relax. I would recommend it, yes.”

Review Malta’s 2-day hop-on hop-off bus and harbour cruise, with route tips, stop highlights, value advice, and practical details.
“It's easy to explore the most important sights. But you have to be careful, as there are two providers on the island, so you can't take just any bus. You also have to pay attention to the signs, as the north route buses are not necessarily blue. Unfortunately, the audio guide provided does not work on every bus. They are not the newest. We took full advantage of the offer with a two-day bus tour and a harbor tour on the third day. (Tip: sit on the right side so that the explanations match what you are seeing.)”
