THE WORST. If you are considering a hop on hop off, do the other one!!!! DON'T do CITY Sightseeing. It took 40 minutes to even GET a bus. First, our bus clipped a parked car and took off her mirror. Then, for an unknown reason, when we FINALLY stopped for the first time, a guy came on and told us we had to change busses. THEN, when we finally got going again, the bus seemed to have no suspension. The back hit the ground whenever we hit a dip. It was awful. The driver drove SO FAST and we only saw like industrial areas. When we got off at the lue Grotto/beach area, everyone wished us luck! LOL Well, as it turned out, we needed it. While we waited for another bus to hop on,' TWO of the other company's came by. We pleaded with THEIR driver to let us on, as we only needed to get to the next stop, the Temples. Well, after we toured those, again, we waited and waited. And again, TWO of the OTHER company's busses came by. I CALLED our company and told him, and he said he would send a bus. Good thing I called! Anyway, we finally made it back, and then there was another issue. Anyway, DO NOT use this company!!!!!!

There are long waits between buses 45 minutes . What was horrible and unthinkable was being on the bus at 5 pm hoping to get to the end of the run and being told to exit the bus because his shift was over leaving 10 stranded passengers in the middle of nowhere and telling them a bus would be coming in 10 minutes which Never showed up. I waited 30 minutes._br/_ My title should read Hop On and get the hell off my bus. Sad but true. Too bad I cannot give a negative star.

the bus connects through to everywhere. But the buses do not run on schedule and if you are travelling in the off season then last bus is very early and you don't have a way to get back to Valleta.

Absolutely dreadful! You spend most of your day waiting for the correct bus to turn up as there are several different company's doing the same routes.This is not only confusing but frustrating, waiting in a queue then getting on the bus only to be told its the wrong one!. The biggest problem is the infrequency you have very little time for seeing the sights. The southern route last bus is at 2:30pm and the Northern 3:30.. The day before we used the service a driver from this company drove his bus into a tree! This resulted in several casualties and sadly some fatalities! We had paid for a 48 hour pass,but gave up after 3 hours and got a taxi back to our hotel. If you can spare the cash book a taxi to take you to the same places the bus visits, we did and it was excellent!

The hop on, hop off bus was nice. I just wish that the hours for the bus were longer so that we could enjoy the stops more. We were also unable to complete the north and south routes in full because we chose to get off the bus on some stops.

iTS BETTER TO SIT IN THE LOW PART OF THE BUS IF ITS WINDY
Review by: Kenneth M, March 2018
Used the Hop on Hop off bus 2 days, February 27 and March 1, this is a good way to see Malta. Due to heavy traffic, the buses were a bit late, maybe 15 minutes or more, in the more congested areas of Malta. Since I was there in the winter season, the buses didn't start running until 9 AM. An earlier start in the day might have been better._br/_ Ken M, Nebraska, USA

One of the, if not THE best HopOnHopOff we have ever done. Lots to see.Only had time to do 2 of the3 routes. Ideal for a day trip from a cruise ship.
Review by: Braidwood G, March 2018
Very hard to find pick up and we were unable to find the route stop for the circuit we wanted using their map and schedule. Not nearly enough commentary these tours in other places have much more info

Wouldn't do this again. Malta is easily accessible by public transport, Pot luck whether the headphones work as well.

Decent way to get around the island, but the pick-ups are quite infrequent one bus every hour. Audio guide narration is...spotty, at best.
Review by: Hilary W, December 2017
Good hop on and hop off experience around teh south side of the island - always a useful way for getting first impressions.
Review by: dianneorford, November 2017
We felt the commentary was not very good, with long periods of silence, when there must have been so much history or further facts that could have been added._br/_ We were left waiting for a bus to show up at the Mdina glass factory for 2 hours, which inconvenienced our plans for the rest of the day to take the south route._br/_ We have used the Hop on Hop off Bus in many countries and have been happy with the service, but unfortunately, this time, the bus was old and needed to be cleaned, and we felt let down with the quality of service.

Folks right there departing the ship. Pointed to the bus departure point. Mdina is great to see. Wi-fi on bus didn't work.
Review by: cwheels701, October 2017
The bus was always late and in order for us to get back in time for the boat, we only had 15 minutes at a stop because the bus was so late. Other than that, this served the purpose we were looking for to seeing a lot of sights in an affordable and different way.
Review by: Christine K, October 2017
The buses were packed with people standing up upstairs. Cruise ships made it a slightly uncomfortable experience as people were pushing and shoving. This, I know, was beyond the bus company's control. The commentary was sparse. But, we took two routes and saw a lot of the island.

The 3 tours you sold us did not fit the operators tours or resemble the tours they actually do.
Review by: Chelsea M, August 2017
The Hop-On Hop-Off bus was okay, but the loop takes SO long 3 hours! It was good to see some of the countryside but if we had to do it over again, I think we would skip this. If there are only a couple of stops you're really interested in seeing, I recommend a rental car or taxi.
Review by: Mrs I, August 2017
Good to see places when time is limited. We couldn't fine the 'pyramids', ha ha, driver pointed us the wrong way, and they were just a lot of rubble when we found them an hour later._br/_ We enjoyed lunch in Marsaxlox, sorry can't spell, then went out to the Blue Grotto. _br/_ The negative is that there are different bus companies just to confuse the visitors. It really did.
