★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 113 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $117

Self-drive buggy across Gozo plus Blue Lagoon and Comino caves, with pickup, guides, and a lunch picnic in a small group.

“Everything was well arranged but the buggy ride itself was 95% paved (poorly asphalted) road, which could almost entirely be driven by car. You don't want that when you book something like that; you want at least 50% off-road. Because there are few other choices on this island, just at a pass.Auto-translated”

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 22 reviews · 7 hours · from $42

7-hour cruise from Sliema to Gozo and Comino, with free Gozo time and a Blue Lagoon swim. Remember Comino access tickets.

“un service de transport fiable, ce n’est pas une visite guidée. Nous avons quitté Sliema à 10 h et sommes arrivés à Gozo à 11 h, ce qui nous a laissé 3 heures pour explorer par nous-mêmes nous avons pris un bus pour Victoria pour 5 €. Nous avons quitté Gozo à 14h pour le Blue Lagoon, jusqu’à 16h puis retour à Sliema à 17 h. Bien se présenter à l’avance car nous sommes partis avant l’heure indiquée. Il s’agit d’un bateau rouge iseemalta. Bien penser à demander un pass (gratuit) pour aller sur le blue lagoon.”

Malta 1-day hop-on hop-off bus (North Blue and South Red) plus a 90-minute Grand Harbour cruise with commentary.

“The worst Hop on experience I’ve ever had. Staff was not helpful. I was told to get on a bus, never informed of route. Was on the blue route instead of the red route that I needed. Consequently, I was never able to take the Harbour Cruise. My time ran out. My questions regarding timing of routes were ignored or not answered. Even the very first place, the blue booth at Valetta Water Front, the staff were rude, and told me in effect that they did not have anything to do with my reservation. I was directed to go directly to a bus. At the bus stop, I was put…”
