Fantastic boat trip. Learnt so much about Malta and it's history. I missed my original transfer from the hotel as I did not realize I had to catch one of the buses that tour around Malta all day. Was expecting a special transfer as with other tours.

It was a good tour that covers all the waterways around Valletta. The ability to provide transport to and from the ship also makes it ideal regardless of where you stay.

The boat tour itself was excellent with plenty of information given. The transfer arrangements were a mess. Despite being told the boat times were 12.15 or 14.15 Ur pick up was so early that we were put on 10.15 boat. Not a disaster but very confusing.

The cruise itself was excellent. Small issue as the bus shuttle from the hotel did not pick up as scheduled.

This was a great tour of the 2 harbours which both showed and explained both the variety of activities on the water and the magnificent shoreline. Thoroughly recommended. The hotel pick up and transport back was very good.

Nice tour but couldn't understand what the tour guide was saying over the loud speaker because it was too muffled.
