Hop-on hop-off buses from Mgarr Harbor help you cover Gozo’s top sights in one day, with open-top views and multi-language audio.
“Great trip! Very convenient way to travel the island with the bus. Few points of improvement for the organizers: - more frequent buses, every 45 minutes is not really enough - late buses, it’s too bad to waste evenings cause there’s no buses after 6pm - make sure the headphones work when connected to the bus. They didn’t work in the first bus that picked us up from the starting point”

Gozo hop-on hop-off bus from Mgarr Harbour. See Ggantija, Ta’ Pinu, bays and Victoria with audio in 16 languages, 1-day ticket.
“Old busses, but over all the promised activity. The only problem is, that you cannot see all the Hotspots on the Island on one day because of the limited time.”
Fast catamaran to Gozo plus a hop-on hop-off open-top bus. See Victoria and Dwejra Bay, with a smart day plan.
“Likes: quick catamaran trip getting there. Could be improved: - allowing the passengers to choose return time, we were automatically booked for 8.45 pm return and although we queued for an earlier return the availability was not there, even of we had a booking we queued with the people that did not have any tickets. The queue was awful, the organization was not there, there were fights between other passengers… please book your own boat trip - the hop on hop off was not great. It is limited in hours so if you want to return to some attractions there are limited times you can get back to it. There…”
Valletta’s 1-day hop-on hop-off buses plus a Grand Harbour catamaran cruise shows Valletta and the Three Cities by road and sea.
“Bus is filthy. No air conditioning and drivers did not know where we needed to get off to go on harbor cruise. Audio system does not work in many of the seats. We never got to go on harbor cruise. Worst hop on hop off bus we have ever been on.”
Spend 48 hours in Malta with unlimited hop-on hop-off buses plus a harbour cruise to Valetta, with live commentary and optional Esplora stop.

Ferry to Gozo plus hop-on hop-off buses with multilingual audio, including Victoria and key sights, with same-day return from Malta.
“Absolute shambles. worst HOPO we ve been on. No one co ordinating at disembarkation of ferry. Finally found someone on red bus who checked our ticket via phone & told us to go on green bus. Got on it as instructed by lady outside green bus. Ticket issuer spoke very badly by telling us to get off & go to red bus for assistance. Finally same lady that sent us to green bus accepted our ticket this time. For some reason our paper ticket with QR code was not enough By this time we missed our bus. They got an additional one some 15 min later. The driver drove like…”

“Bussen waren overvol met gevolg rechtstaan. De bussen rijden niet laat zodat alle stops niet kunnen gedaan worden”
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…”
Malta to Gozo ferry return plus a City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off day bus. Hit the Cittadella, Ta’ Pinu and Xlendi.
“This was a very disappointing experience. When we came to Gozo the bus had left and we had to wait for almost an hour to catch the next one. Boarding the bus was more than chaotic and took another 25 minutes. We had to stand and could not use the headphones. The lady giving out the tickets was totally unnerved and not helpful. So when we finally reached Victoria half of our Gozotime was already over. We than decided to skip the ferry ride home at 4 pm because than we had literally seen only one Gozo highlight the Citadella. We drove home with the speedboat ferry and we can…”
6-day iSeeMalta Heritage Pass with unlimited Hop-On Hop-Off buses, a 90-minute live harbor cruise, and 20+ Malta sites for $94.
“The bus were never on time up to 45mins late… they only run every hour so you never know when the next bus is coming or if it is coming. The drivers stop for food even though they are late. There is no way to track the buses so you are literally waiting blindly… often you don’t get off at stops because you never know when you are going to get to leave again”
Pick the kind of day. Nothing here is more than an hour from anything else.
