Recomended - Lovely comprehensive tour with excellent informative commentary. Second time we have taken this tour - good to see that Luzzu's standards have been maintained since our last trip two years ago.

Nice boat trip through the two harbours - Lovely experience, there is an audio commentary in English, the trip took about 90 minutes. I would recommend it. The price is 20 Euros which I think is adequate.

Lovely 1,5 hours at sea. - 1,5 hours on a small boat sailing around the harbours with very informative commentary in English. There are seats upstairs/outside and downstairs/inside. There is also a toilet onboard. It was windy and quite cold, the day I went, but I enjoyed it none the less. It would be perfect in Spring or Summer. Getyourguide offers this, but please pay to the company. There is a booth on Sliema boardwalk, where you can book. Don't miss this!

An excellent Valetta boat trip - The trip gave us the opportunity to see a different view of Valetta and it was amazing to see everything from the water. The commentary was excellent and we really enjoyed it. Great value too! Highly recommended

A great insight into Valletta Harbour - We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise of Valletta Harbour and it's nine creeks with this company and felt it was excellent value at €20 per person. The commentary in English was informative and well delivered (we've been on previous tours where the English is spewed out at such speed that it's incomprehensible to native speakers!!) We would certainly recommend this tour to friends & family 😃

A fun way to learn about the history of Valetta - This tour of the creeks that make up Valetta Harbour is excellent and you can learn a lot from the loudspeaker commentary that they play as the boat travels around this beautiful place. The master of the vessel adds his own bits of information to the recorded version which makes it even more interesting and you get a fabulous viewpoint from the boat as each creek is visited in turn, you also get to see the dockyard and other areas less easy to access from the shore. It takes around 90 minutes to tour around the harbour and there is a bar on board selling beer, wine and soft drinks. This is an excellent tour, cheaper than many of the walking tours and quite a bit more fun in my view.

A great way to see and learn about Malta - A great trip with interesting and clear commentary. The crew were friendly and the sailing was on schedule. We highly recommend the excursion to see Malta from a different perspective.
