GroupVerified bookingJun 20265/5This was pretty much the most relaxed unhurried and chilled out tour we've had in a week and a half here in Malta. There was a little confusion with our online ticket as no QR code was issued but it was sorted out by the staff on the boat and we spent a great 90 minutes on the harbour tour. The boat was clean and tidy and the staff were polite and helpful. Thank you for a great tour 😎MMs. Norberto K
