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.

Did this with my partner. The buses were mostly on time, except in Valletta where we waited like 25 mins. Otherwise, really handy way to get from A to B. The commentary made us laugh—lots of random facts about knights and pirates. Not all stops are marked well, so keep your map handy.

Very nice place, a lot of fish and atractions. Submarine simulator is the best 😁 Visit is possible for whole family, everybody will find something interesting. I like meduzas 😀

The aquarium and the ferry trip were good. The bus ride wasn't as good...The audio barely worked - on one trip it didn't work at all and on the next, only one headphone worked. We had to wait 90mins for the north route bus as we had 2 busses come past that were labeled as "south". We then got notification that one of them was actually the "north" bus.. very confusing and disorganized bus trip. The ferry was good - highly recommended
