To be recommended - We did this bus tour and it was really nice, you have the opportunity to get off the bus to visit the towns and go back on the ride afterwards with the same ticket we had a really nice day and the story that the guide's voice tells is super down to the smallest detail details

A bit confusing. - A bit confusing but enjoyable. Needs better and clearer narration. It easy to know what bus to get on. Spoke to so many others that were confused. Yellow line should be yellow, red for red line and blue for blue line.

South island hop on hop off bus - This south island tour spends a lot of time driving through and around more built up areas of the island compared with the north island tour. Lots of good stops on the way around but you need to book for some of the attractions and off season, other attractions not open. Upper level very windy and exposed so don't forget sunscreen, scarf and hat. Can be cold in the late afternoon.

Bad experience - Nice trip around Malta spoiled by driver who didn’t stop where we needed despite being told as”it was on wrong side of road”. Eventually dropped 2.6 km and told to wait 30 minutes for next bus that would take us to correct stop as driver was finishing…. Really???

Waste of money. - Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews first now I regret. It was a huge waste of my money, the best option is to take a regular bus. It wasn't the cheapest trip, the bus was dirty, the headset didn't work properly, of you're lucky it's still not the best quality, to hear anything even when listening to the audio in your mother language. Don't take the bus when it make the last round, they are not prepared for that many people. I don't recommend. 60% of time was visiting something villages with no attractions. And the whole trip takes around 3 or 4h with no getting off. So be prepared and have something to eat and drink because there is no place to buy anything if you don't want get off , but continue the trip.

Cannot recommend - This is undoubtedly one of the worst hop on hop off tours we have been on & we have been on many. We usually consider it a good way to get oriented in a new place. This was just a very old bus. There was VERY little information but LOTS of annoying music played through the headphones.

Waste of time and money - We have taken many Hop On/Hop Off tours around the world, as a basis to get the lay of the land and to know which areas to return to. This, sadly, was the worst and didn't help in any way. The commentary was sparce at best and felt like a waste of money, particularly as the local bus service is so good.

Everything that's been said already plus a disabled perspective. - Everything that's been said already plus a disabled perspective. Good points Outbound adequate transfer from Buliba to Selena adequate. Driver on return was polite, helpful and above all we felt safe in stark contrast to the open top bus drivers. One was speaking hands free on his mobile for the entire trip and gesticulating with one hand constantly so driving with one hand. Anger management an issue with other road users. Did not stop at designated photo stops but instead stopped for 10 mins at a back street cafe. Another was smoking whilst driving and unsuccessfully trying to hide it. Smoke in the bus - a health hazard and possibly illegal? Not all disabilities are visible. Bus pulled up 4 feet from kerb and when it was pointed out to him that this was not consistent with the company's statements about disability, instead of offering to help he asked me if I could do any better! I said probably not but pointed out how other buses on the same bay were accessible from the kerb due to better driving. Only half the audio points in disabled seats worked and some wheelchair spaces has normal fixed seats fitted.

Absolute disappointment - Almost non-existent audio guide. They don't comply with the schedules. The information from one seller to another does not match. I think it's a waste of money and time.
