Had to ask driver for instructions as to where to go for the sight seeing, no one gave it otherwise as the stops are not near the attraction. Commentary is after you've passed it and long moments of silence, Some stops are not worth while

The whole tour was ok, although there’s not much to see after the fishing village. The blue lagoon trip was not available due to the winds. Plus the driver let us out on the war museum even though he knew it was closed.

During our winter low season, it is common that we have stronger winds than normal. There is a lot more to see around the War Museum, it is not exactly a site which is in a remote area, it is on the periphery of the maritime city.

Recommended stop : Marsaxlokk Village. Choose your stops wisely as the buses weren't too frequent and the buses get very busy certain times of the day. Some of the headphones weren't working on some of the buses so we couldn't hear the commentary.

Having done this tour on previous visits to Malta I have always enjoyed seeing the sights on the Souh of the island. This tour did not disappont and I had an enjoyable visit to Marsaxlokk.

The tour itself was great - in particular we enjoyed stops at Marsalokk Fishing Village and the Blue Grotto. There was a lot of confusion about blue and red buses and also the fact that we bought our tickets online so only had copies on our phones to show the drivers and they didn’t recognize them in most cases so it was a bit of a hassle.

Nice way to see island. Meeting points comfusing...guy told me it started at 8 (I assumed from my pick up) and every 30 min after that, but really it started at 8 from the beginning location and didn't teach my stop until 815. Also, buses end earlier than posted schedules (it was like 430 instead of 5), which makes me feel like I didn't get a full days worth.

As any other Hip on Hip off busses takes you to the most famous places where you can jump off and walk around. Just a wee warning if you pick to sit on the second floor of the bus make sure you apply plenty of sun cream as I burned the first day like a lobster :) Also I recommend if you pick this trip on a Sunday prefer to spend more time in Marsaxxlock village as on this day they got massive local market with lots of local stuff in it and much cheaper then in any of the other part of island :) Anyway make sure your wallets in a safe place as my sister nearly lost hers, one of the guy tried to pocket lift hers purse, we noticed on time and started screaming, the guy disappeared in seconds! Was funny afterwards :) You must to stop @ Blue Grotto and take speed boat to the caves, we were thinking why it's call speed boat but on a trip we noticed that boat don't stop at all, every cave we visited on speed, so make sure you do proper photos as no other chances will be given :), also nice to take a wee jump in a water just from the cliff, water is freezing in there and chills you out on a hot day, very nice experience:) Very enjoyable journey :) Thank you to the company :)

Brilliant, I really recommend this trip. Next time I will stay on the bus all the way around and not get off and go around and then get off at a few places. You really see all the places from the top deck.
