“We waited over an hour outside for the bus with no sign of it. I contacted customer service (the lady on the phone was lovely) but she told me that the bus had already came, we had attempted to get on a bus but the driver told us it was not the right bus. She told us there would be another bus in 40 minutes but we would miss our booked boat trip and she could not guarantee that we would get on another. She told me that the driver told us that it was the wrong bus because Viator had recently changed the name of the tour and that…”

“The ticket we had wasn't 'registered' with the tour company so they had no record of us having paid. Called VIATOUR and the person on the phone said they would get in touch with the tour company to help us get the situation sorted. I am still waiting for a reply from them, 6 weeks later. I would not recommend buying a ticket through this website and buy it from a seller at your holiday location.”

Sliema: Special Night Harbour Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 41 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $24

Review the 1.5-hour Sliema night harbour cruise, with Valletta views, the Three Cities, small groups, prices, and practical tips.

“The boat ride was lovely because there were only 10 of us on board as opposed to the usual 50+. The tour however was read to us however by the vost drivers phone (AI/Computer). When It was run by Supreme tours, the boat driver was the guide and much more informative. For £17 however, its a great 1.5 hours to sit, have a few drinks, take pictures and juat relax. I would recommend it, yes.”
