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.Marcin

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.Sue

This pocket-friendly combo ticket offers two Malta experiences: an unlimited hop-on hop-off pass and an audio-visual show that brings you closer to Malta’s history and culture.
Malta Hop-on Hop-off
Hop aboard the Red Route to soak in Malta’s colorful highlights, from Marsaxlokk’s crayon-bright boats to Blue Grotto’s shimmering caves and Vittoriosa’s historic allure. Along the Blue Route, you will find sandy bliss at Golden Bay, the WWII miracle dome of Mosta Church, and Qawra’s peaceful coast. Wrap it up with a harbor cruise to glimpse Fort Manoel, the eerie Lazzaretto, and Fort Ricasoli, Malta’s cinematic gem featured in Game of Thrones and Gladiator.

An upgrade will give you access to a guided tour of the Holy Infirmary of the Knights of St John. Despite their well-known success in military exploits, their origins lie in peacekeeping and efforts made towards healing the sick. Your guide will enlighten you on 400 years' worth of medical innovation, triumphs, and tragedies held within the ancient walls.
