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.

Save big with this combo! Secure your entry to the Malta National Aquarium and get hop-on-hop-off passes for a tour around the island, exploring spots like Golden Bay, Blue Grotto, and more.

Malta National Aquarium

Hop off at stop #6 on the North(Purple) route and head to the Malta National Aquarium to see through a world of marine life with black-tip sharks, rays, and eels in a giant tunnel, plus the vibrant Tropical Oceans zone and Roman wrecks. The Valletta Harbour zone reveals sunken secrets, while the Reptile & Amphibian Area showcases creepy crawlies like tarantulas and dart frogs. Don’t miss the feeding frenzy at 1 pm and 4 pm – sharks get hangry! It's a cool mix of nature, history, and creepy crawlies that’ll make your jaw drop.

Malta HOHO

Hop on the Red Route for vibrant stops at Marsaxlokk Fishing Village, Blue Grotto, and Vittoriosa Waterfront, with a lively vibe at Sliema Ferries. The Blue Route offers Golden Bay’s golden sands, Mosta Church’s WWII story, and Qawra’s coastal calm. Take a cruise to discover Malta’s past with Fort Manoel, the eerie Lazzaretto, and Fort Ricasoli, famous from "Gladiator" and "Game of Thrones." A full-on history and scenery feast.
