“We took the North tour which was excellent. We only got off at Mosta and Mdina (both very worthwhile) but there was probably time to do another couple of stops. The buses only come once an hour which gave us enough time to see the main attractions at each stop. Commentary is available in many…”

“I am normally a fan of Hop On Hop Off buses. Have taken over 13 in different cities. But this was by far the worst experience. Where to start! No signage on route for pick up. No online schedule. No way to understand when or where the buses will drop off or pick up. Stops…”

“I really enjoyed seeing areas around Malta, but getting to the bus was very confusing. I asked three different people and got three different answers. I think the bus routes should be shorter and more focused on areas that people want to see.”

“Very limited time. Need to plan stops well in advance in order to make the most of the day, and get back to the ferry. Best to limit to 2 stops.”
Malta’s 2-day hop-on hop-off bus pass with Blue and Red routes plus a harbour cruise within 5 days for flexible sightseeing.
“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…”
