Great way to see as many sights as possible - We did this last year and enjoyed it so much we did it again. 50 Euros per person buys you two full days North and South bus tours with very informative headphone audio commentary. They ran more or less on time, have friendly and helpful drivers and you see so many wonderful places of interest. Also included is the harbours boat trip which you catch in Sliema. This is really enjoyable, again with really good commentary. Really good value for money and a great way to ensure you see as much as possible of lovely Malta.

Turin to Malta flights - We discovered the island through these buses and tourist ferries that allow you to have a complete overview even on your first trip to the island. But the difference as always is made by people and we were lucky enough to be followed by Giancarlo who took care of our experience to make it unforgettable, making us make the most of all the possibilities offered by the tours, thanks to a great professionalism and dedication to his work not common. We highly recommend as a first approach to the island this experience. Mirella and Marzia.

Local busses and Bolt rides are better - This is really not worth the price for 2 days. It would be ok for 1 day on the south route. The busses do not run often enough, start late and finish early, and are not on time, so you do not have enough time at any stop. You spend a lot of time waiting for the bus. It was pleasant to sit outside on the top and enjoy the scenery. The harbor cruise was ok, but there are many wonderful viewpoints in Valletta.

Disappointed in bus tour... sea tour enjoyable - We have just been to Malta for a week.. We booked the see malta bus and boat tour pass. We were disappointed in the bus tour as commentary is very limited and lacking. Also apart from taking you to two drop off points In valetta you don't really see the city on the bus tour. On our 2nd day we did the boat tour... which we did enjoy very much. Re costs we were charged €50 pp for the 48hr pass inc boat tour. You can get cheaper tours from local agents on the sea front which we wished we had done and saved 15 euros pp. My tip. Don't book thru agent in hotel

Not recommended - Information about schedules was inconsistent between web site and handouts. Branding and signage similar to other companies also caused confusion. Staff generally unfriendly and unhelpful. Seats uncomfortable.

Not great - We purchased the bus hop on/off tickets from our hotel as we find it a great way to see a new city and then we cherry pick where we would like to go back and visit. We chose the north & south route plus a harbour boat tour as this would cover everything. Our understanding was we had 5 days to use the tickets once they had been activated, unfortunately what wasn’t explained properly was that once you started the north route you only had a day to visit the sites on that route. Because we had started our route at 1130 it was impossible to do this. The reason for this was the lady selling the tickets in the hotel had issues with a new system and the bus was late. We found the buses unreliable on timings and tickets were checked at least twice on every trip which always took about 15minutes of being stationary. We recommend using local buses (which can be standing room only) or Bolt & Uber which were cheap & efficient.

Very disappointing - We took the tour, two days in bus and the harbour cruise. We knew that the two days of bus had to be consecutive. When I ask the lady about the cruise, I specifically asked her Any time any day? And she said yes. She never mentioned that it was to be done in five days. We wanted to do the cruise the sixth day and our ticket was expired. When we complained, she showed to us the five days specification in the brochure. But who reads the brochure if one doesn't have to while on vacation? As I asked her the question about the cruise, I would've expect a right and complete answer. It was not the case. This is very poor service. And on the bus, some other people had the same problem with expired tickets and they didn't understand why, information was lacking, so something is not working in the way they do business. Add to that, the bus was 30 minutes late on one of the two days, the audio was not functioning, and the bus was quite old. Choose another company!

No, choose another HOHO company. - Omg, I felt like I got duped bad. As many reviews have stated, there is no air conditioning on the lower part of the bus. When the bus is moving it's bearable, but when the bus is stopped (and there were stops of up to 10 mins) then it's extremely hot. We labelled it "the bikrum bus" - like a hot yoga centre. Also, on my first day, the bus broke down coming back to Silema. The driver was very apologetic. On the second day, the bus I was on got pulled over and the driver was given a ticket/fine and 6 demerit points (it was June 10 if the bus company wants to fact check me). I do not recommend this bus company.

Skip Hop on on Malta with Citysightseeing - of all the hop on companies in many cities where I have been, I had by far the worst experience here in Malta. Old buses. neglected, without air conditioning downstairs. They are late or not at all. Staff, very little information. very very bad. Stations poorly marked. Only their app still works at least to some extent. I do not recommend it. The line itself does not offer any big and interesting attractions. Better take an Uber to Valletta and some beach and you will save time and money.

AWFUL - DO NOT USE - Overcrowded buses, wet seats upstairs, unclear information about ‘free hotel transfers’. When we realised we were not heading back to our hotel the driver dumped us somewhere in St Julian’s and told us to get a public bus back to our hotel. The Valetta harbour cruise Ferry did not stop at the three cities stop. For two of us it cost €100 euros plus the €22 taxi fare to get back to our hotel. My partner is 71 and has a brain tumour and this just gave us stress on what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday - I wrote to customer services but they don’t want to know, implying I was lying about what had happened. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - use Malta public transport for €2 per journey which is far more reliable.
