I've just returned from a stay in Malta, and I'm still amazed by everything this archipelago has to offer. Between history, beaches, culture and gastronomy, Malta is a complete destination that fulfilled all my expectations! As soon as I arrived in Valletta, I was struck by the city's unique atmosphere. Its baroque architecture, cobbled streets and breathtaking views over the Mediterranean make the capital a veritable open-air museum. Don't miss the Three Cities and Upper Barrakka Gardens for a spectacular view of the Grand Port. I also loved the excursion to Mdina, the ancient capital nicknamed "the city of silence": a magical place, steeped in history, perfect for a quiet stroll. On the seaside, the beaches and coves of Comino (especially the Blue Lagoon) and Gozo are breathtaking. Turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling... a true paradise! Gozo in particular is worth a visit for its more rural and authentic atmosphere. Maltese cuisine was a pleasant surprise: from pastizzi and rabbit dishes to fresh seafood and local wines, my taste buds were delighted. Last but not least, I found the Maltese very welcoming and warm, always ready to help or share an anecdote about their island.

I had such a wonderful time at Popeye Village! The place looks like a fairytale – colorful, lively, and perfect for photos. I visited on my birthday, and the team made it unforgettable: they sang “Happy Birthday” to me and took fun pictures. It truly felt magical. Highly recommend, especially if you want to feel like a kid again or celebrate something special in a unique setting!

It was a comprehensive tour along the north route on the island of Malta.
I wasn't sure whether to do it or not, but it was 100% worth it. Get ready for a long trip (over 3 hours and à half, without hopping off...).
I would recommend to do the first 2-3 days upon arrival to have a good overview.

Did this with my partner. The buses were mostly on time, except in Valletta where we waited like 25 mins. Otherwise, really handy way to get from A to B. The commentary made us laugh—lots of random facts about knights and pirates. Not all stops are marked well, so keep your map handy.

5/5
Took the hop-on hop-off bus with my wife last March. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical but turned out to be a SUPER easy way to get around Malta. We spent most of the day jumping off at random stops (Mdina was my fave, btw). The drivers were friendly and let us know when we were about to miss our stop (oops). Commentary was a bit cheesy but learned a few things. Only downside—some of the headphones didn’t work, but we just swapped seats. Weather was perfect for sitting up top! Would totally do it again.

Between history, beaches, culture and gastronomy, Malta is a complete destination that fulfilled all my expectations! As soon as I arrived in Valletta, I was struck by the city's unique atmosphere. Its baroque architecture, cobbled streets and breathtaking views over the Mediterranean make the capital a veritable open-air museum.

I also loved the excursion to Mdina, the ancient capital nicknamed "the city of silence": a magical place, steeped in history, perfect for a quiet stroll. On the seaside, the beaches and coves of Comino (especially the Blue Lagoon) and Gozo are breathtaking. Turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling... a true paradise! Gozo in particular is worth a visit for its more rural and authentic atmosphere. Maltese cuisine was a pleasant surprise: from pastizzi and rabbit dishes to fresh seafood and local wines, my taste buds were delighted. Last but not least, I found the Maltese very welcoming and warm, always ready to help or share an anecdote about their island.

That were 2 different buslines that come only every hour. Not as in big cities like Rome and Athens, where you can hop on and hop off regularly They do not come nearby important acheologic sites like hypogeum or Taxien. Instead, they stop at big hotels that have only importance as you stay there.

The Explanations were very rare and we had often half an hour with just nothing. Often we did not know in which village or City we were. No explanations. Twice that the honey came from a special bee from the Island. We had better Tour with Sight Seeing that you offer in other countries. Sorry. This was just a waste of time.

Too long, no connection, 3.5 hours of not hearing anything, too full and for the price! An imposition!

The Polish ersion of the audio guide is unfortunately unprofessional. Both the text and the narrator who reads the text, who is confused every now and then. In addition, the text is often read at the wrong time - it tells about something we can't see at the time... Unfortunately, the buses were not always on schedule due to traffic jams. I missed information about the real time of arrival of the bus at the stops - maybe it would be possible to do this in the app? It would make planning a tour easier for tourists.

Did this with my partner. The buses were mostly on time, except in Valletta where we waited like 25 mins. Otherwise, really handy way to get from A to B. The commentary made us laugh—lots of random facts about knights and pirates. Not all stops are marked well, so keep your map handy.

Honestly, such an easy way to see Malta without any planning. The drivers were joking with us and the weather was AMAZING. Would do again!

We had a great day out with the hop-on hop-off. The sun was shining and we took a million pics from the open deck. The staff are super friendly. Don’t forget sunscreen!

Took the bus with friends and had a great time. The top deck is the place to be if it’s sunny. Audio guide could be improved but overall a fun way to see Malta.

I've just returned from a stay in Malta, and I'm still amazed by everything this archipelago has to offer. Between history, beaches, culture and gastronomy, Malta is a complete destination that fulfilled all my expectations! As soon as I arrived in Valletta, I was struck by the city's unique atmosphere. Its baroque architecture, cobbled streets and breathtaking views over the Mediterranean make the capital a veritable open-air museum. Don't miss the Three Cities and Upper Barrakka Gardens for a spectacular view of the Grand Port. I also loved the excursion to Mdina, the ancient capital nicknamed "the city of silence": a magical place, steeped in history, perfect for a quiet stroll. On the seaside, the beaches and coves of Comino (especially the Blue Lagoon) and Gozo are breathtaking. Turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling... a true paradise! Gozo in particular is worth a visit for its more rural and authentic atmosphere. Maltese cuisine was a pleasant surprise: from pastizzi and rabbit dishes to fresh seafood and local wines, my taste buds were delighted. Last but not least, I found the Maltese very welcoming and warm, always ready to help or share an anecdote about their island.
