Lovely staff, good itinerary and all on time However, it was very disappointing that we only got told we needed to exchange our mobile QR code 'ticket' for a physical ticket once we had purchased the tour. As we were staying in an independent apartment 1.5 hours away from Valletta and had no printing facilities, we had to get a service bus to Valletta and start the tour from there. This should have been made very clear from the start. Not everyone stays in a hotel or nearby the ticket validation points

A convenient way of seeing some of the famous sights and being able to get off and see Mdina. The problem is that there are no timetables at the stops and the drivers are not very friendly.
