We booked the Gozo fast ferry from Buggiba & added the Gozo open top sightseeing trip. This trip was well organised & great connection when we disembarked the ferry .

Great service lots of buses on tap we didn't have to wait long to be picked up, Drivers showed great skill navigating the very narrow and crowded street.

South tour - saw some other intersting parts of Malta. No booklet/information given. Had to call to find out timetable for specific stop. Worth doing for the harbour tour - that was very good.

The drivers were very helpful. Apart from announcing the stops, the commentary was non existent and this was very disappointing. The southern route had better locations to see and is what I would recommend if you do not want to see both routes.

It was an interesting overall look around Malta, however, it was far too long and didn't really have interesting stops.
