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.

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.
Save big with this combo! Secure your entry to the Malta 5D Audio-Visual Show and get a hop-on-hop-off pass for a tour around the island, exploring top attractions at a flexible pace.
