See Valletta and the Three Cities from the water on a 90-minute harbour cruise with commentary, photo stops, onboard drinks, and flexible departures.
“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…”

Review of Malta’s hop-on hop-off bus and Grand Harbour catamaran cruise, with route tips, timing advice, value notes, and booking cautions.
“I really enjoyed seeing areas around Malta, but getting to the bus was very confusing. I asked three different people and got three different answers. I think the bus routes should be shorter and more focused on areas that people want to see.”
Explore Birgu, Cospicua, Senglea, and Malta’s Grand Harbour by dghajsa boat on a practical four-hour guided tour.
“We really enjoyed our walking tour of the Three Cities. John our guide was both very informative and entertaining. There was so much history to learn about and the traditional boat trip around the Grand Harbour was quite exciting! We would do this tour again.”
Assess Malta’s 48-hour hop-on hop-off buses and harbour cruise, with route tips, timing advice, value notes, and practical booking details.
“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.”
See Malta’s Grand Harbour by private boat with Keith, combining fort views, clear history, flexible options, and excellent value in 35 minutes.
“The boat tour guides provides information about the various structures that can be seen in the grand harbor between Valletta and the Three Cities. You get to decide whether you want a one way trip or road trip, which worked well for us to integrate into our overall itinerary.”
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.”
Review of Malta’s Grand Harbour Cruise, with forts, Valletta views, live commentary, indoor seating, Wi-Fi, and an optional Esplora stop.
“Really nice and modern boat but could not hear the audio guide. We were sitting downstairs and asked for the volume to be turned up but they could not and so we could hardly hear the guide. It could be better upstairs but we sat downstairs as it was cool.”
Explore Malta by North and South hop-on hop-off buses, then see Valletta and the Three Cities from the water on a flexible 2-day pass.
“It's easy to explore the most important sights. But you have to be careful, as there are two providers on the island, so you can't take just any bus. You also have to pay attention to the signs, as the north route buses are not necessarily blue. Unfortunately, the audio guide provided does not work on every bus. They are not the newest. We took full advantage of the offer with a two-day bus tour and a harbor tour on the third day. (Tip: sit on the right side so that the explanations match what you are seeing.)”

Cruise Marsamxett and Grand Harbors from Sliema on a private 26-foot boat, with historic forts, city views, and an optional one-hour swim.
“The boat is a 26ft day cruiserin very good condition with a bimini top. Our captain Ricardo was a great guy to be around, very nice guy with some great stories. Due to the extreme heat we actually went straight to swin at the south of the island in a really nice bay that appeared popular with locals and far from the usual tourist areas, all in all we had a wonderful day on the sea! (you can get this tour at a way better price if you book directly, just look up the tour companies on google maps, I realized that I paid 50% more)”
