tour great but directions to get bus completely inaccurate. Took us awhile to figure out how to get to the stop. Bus ride long and seat uncomfortable. cheap earphones

The hop on hop off bus in Malta was good, but there was a lot of time where we just listened to music rather than the history of the area. We would have appreciated more information and less music. The music was very enjoyable though.

Overall, a good way to see Malta, but from reading the description of the bus routes, we were under the impression we would be able to see more than we actually could given our time constraints. Additionally, it's only because we happen to stop to ask a question of a person selling the tour on land did we find out that we needed to turn in our voucher for actual bus tickets. So, not a bad tour, but the description and instructions could use a little tweaking.

This was not what we expected. We got on the first bus that was a little ways from the cruise port. We found out on the ship their were two different hop on hop off companies. One Malta City seemed to be sanctioned by the ship, and then ours. We got to the first stop fine, which was Mdina, and spent about an hour. Waited for next bus, it was about 20 minutes late, couldnt get on as it was full. Then had to wait another 45 minutes for bus. After getting on driver said it would take over 2 hours to get back to, so we just stayed on, worried if we got off, we wouldnt get back on time to ship. Got to see a lot of the country due to so much driving, but wouldnt to again.

The hours of operation were too limited for the amount of time we were there. Would liked to have had more time to use the buses

W have used the hop on hop off tours in different countries. All prior tours have been fantastic. This one by far was the most disorganized. Here are some constructive comments. There are two bus companies I cannot figure out why both companies have to share one bus stop. If only you can imagine the commotion with hundreds of people off a ship, shoving and pushing trying to create new lines.. There is not enough time to do both routes if you come off the ship, wait in line, and do the blue route first. The bus says no standing passengers but there were at least 15 passengers standing. This does wonders for the view, correct?. Viator, this is not a reflection on your company. It reflects on the Hop on Hop off tours in general. This is not doing much for Malta's tourism, sadly to say._br/_ I strongly suggest you delist this tour, going forward until the HOHO service has been addressed._br/_ William

Normal Hop-on Hop-off service with far too many people around. Never buy these kind of tickets through Viator or similar agents, because it doesn't give you any preferences when you arrive. We came with a cruise ship and the idea with the Hop-on Hop-off busses are brilliant, but there is absolutely no reason to pay the tickets in advance.

Disappointing, apparently more buses were needed - not much opportunity to hop off based on the number of people waiting at each stop. Next timeif we are that lucky we would just get a private driver waiting outside the terminal

This was a joke. Kept putting too many people on the bus It was over 40 c. The tour announcement system did not work for everyone!, very bad!!!
Review by: William H, June 2017
Very disappointing. They gave us the wrong maps and did not have the correct ones and could not tell us anything about the stops so we did not where to get off. A total waste of money and time.

The buses were old and rickety. The first bus we were on had a big gash in a tire--at one point the driver had to stop at the side of the road and check the tire. There was no announcement at stops as to which one it was--we couldn't tell if we were stopping to check the terrible bus or if it was a legitimate stop. There were extremely long waits for the next bus to come along. Very disappointing.

The Hop on bus was waiting when we disembarked our cruise ship. I was surprised first by how dirty the bus was - upstairs and down. Layers of dirt and grime on the seats and floor. Windows were smeared and dirty. Figured we were only going to be on briefly, so went along, but there really wasn't anyplace to stop until we reached Mdina, about 20-30 minutes away. We also ended up sitting on the bus waiting to leave for 20-30 minutes. We got back on the bus to return - again no real place to hop off. This wasn't what we expected and was a disappointment.

Bus broke down. Replacement left without us. 30 Euro cab fare back to Port. Thoroughly disgusted

We did the blue tour on a Saturday with two cruise ships in port. It was hopeless because of the traffic. We got an hour behind which we made up by not stopping at designated stops. This was not a problem as we just wanted the tour to end. Must be better on a week day? We did not bother with red/gold options. Very disappointing and a waste of time.
