Hop-on Hop-off Tour in the Panoramic North of Malta

Busfahrer hat keine Auskünfte geben können, die Ansage funktionierte auf 5 Plätzen nicht. Wir haben also von den Informationen nichts mitbekommen. Haben dann einen Stopp genutzt für einen Spaziergang, die nächste Haltestelle war nicht ausgeschildert und eine Info, dass danach nur noch ein Bus kommt, gab es auch nicht. Wir saßen also an der Saline fest. Glücklicherweise hat uns die Konkurrenz eingesammelt. Hier funktionieren auch die Ansagen und der Fahrer war klasse. Wer eine gute Tour machen möchte, nutzt besser Iseemalta mit denselben Routen.

We booked the bus through our hotel. Bus picked us up on time. We spent at least 70minutes going around the coast and towns with no commentary. I actually went to the driver as I thought they forgot to turn it on. He told me the commentary begins at Silema. We got off in Valletta and had a lovely time in the city. Got back to pick up point to get the 2.15 bus it arrived at 2.40 as we got on the driver said we could only get out at one other place as the last bus left Valletta at 3.15. We were so frustrated. We had wanted to go to Mdina, Rabat and to see the craft village. We chose Medina which was beautiful. It was not value for money at all. In hindsight we should have taken the local bus service to Valletta and Medina.

A generally poor experience. Booked to be picked up from the Mehelia area at 9:35am. Bus was approximately 30 minutes late. The idea was to take us all to the Silema ferry stop (main stop) to transfer to the actual North tour - the bus that picked us up was heading to do the South tour and so the trip to Silema wasn't actually part of the main trip and as such there were no earphones or commentary. We stopped at approximately 10 hotels on the way with the journey taking nearly 2 hours - before the tour even started! On the North tour itself, the bus was in ok condition but the sound was intermittent. We were told by a representative that at the end of the tour (or not the end, but an end best suited to the company) we should alight at Bugibba Square and get an Uber back to Mehelia, otherwise we would have to go all the way back to Silema Ferry and then it would be a nightmare for them to get us back to our hotel. We opted out and booked an Uber to our hotel from Mdina, €17 and 20 minutes, saving the next who knows how many hours staying on the bus. Don't recommend, and absolutely warn against with young children. Get a hire car or pay for a few taxis instead!
