Malta · HOP-ON HOP-OFF BUSES
Two islands, several loops, and the only way to see the middle of Malta without hiring a car. These 15 passes differ on how many routes and days they cover and whether a harbour cruise is bundled in. Prices and validity for each.
Ride a hop-on, hop-off double-decker from Sliema to Malta’s north or south highlights with included audio and flexible stops.
“Superb. Very friendly staff and extremely helpful when we’re running late. They’re a credit to the company 😃👍”
Hop on and off a Gozo open-top bus from Mgarr Harbor for a one-day tour with panoramic views, Victoria sights, and top stops like Dwejra and Ggantija.
“I have used this same company all around the world and found them excellent. The Gozo experience proved no different. I had purchased our tickets before leaving home and so had a voucher on my mobile phone. This had proved to be a major problem on Malta, but the drivers on Gozo had no such problems. The buses were on time all day long and the commentary was good. Excellent way to see Gozo.”
Malta hop-on hop-off bus with two routes, 35 stops, free headphones, and optional harbour cruise. Great for orientation, hit-or-miss timing.
“Terrible it’s the worst hop on and off we ever did. Very little commentary on board and a lot of stopping and starting”
Gozo Hop-On Hop-Off with Blue and Purple routes from Mgarr Harbour, unlimited stops for 1 day, and audio in 11 languages.
“The audioguide was really informative and the places in the route where beautiful. Unfortunately, because it was Sunday a lot of things were closed so I wouldn't recommend taking this tour on a Sunday if you want to have the full experience”

“With you I've seen lot of wonderfull things in Gozo”
Hop-on hop-off double-decker bus through Malta’s south from Valletta, with audio headsets, Blue Grotto boat access, and flexible stops.
“When I got to the coach, they rushed me on and didn't check the voucher, as the coach was going...ended up on the wrong tour ..The North one, not the South..The commentary was ad hoc and was not aligned to where we were...the bus had people standing up on the top deck, as too many people and maybe not enough buses. That was dangerous..if you don't get off that's 3 hours from start to finish...I just found it was a lot of driving and not loads to see. Not for me.. did give me ideas on where to visit later, but was afraid to get off as bus was so…”
Hop-on hop-off buses in Malta with a 24-hour ticket, two routes, and onboard audio. Optional Sliema harbour cruise adds value for shore days.
“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”
Fast catamaran to Gozo plus an open-top hop-on hop-off bus for panoramic stops around the island, with flexible ferry timing.
“Likes: quick catamaran trip getting there. Could be improved: - allowing the passengers to choose return time, we were automatically booked for 8.45 pm return and although we queued for an earlier return the availability was not there, even of we had a booking we queued with the people that did not have any tickets. The queue was awful, the organization was not there, there were fights between other passengers… please book your own boat trip - the hop on hop off was not great. It is limited in hours so if you want to return to some attractions there are limited times you can get back to it. There…”
Valletta hop-on hop-off buses plus a Grand Harbour catamaran cruise, with onboard Wi-Fi and 24-hour Blue and Red routes.
“I have purchased in other cities previously but found the service in Malta highly lacking. The website stated that hop on hop off incluced buses in Malta and gozo but this was not what we found. We had to pay for seperate ferries and buses on both islands in order to avail of the service at all and the times were extremly limted for peak season. An expensive and dissapointing lesson learned.”
48-hour Malta hop-on hop-off buses plus a harbour cruise with live commentary, including optional Esplora Science Museum stop. 2 days.
“Easy to get on and off. Staff very friendly. Only downside was the bus stops were not as regular as other sightseeing buses in other cities & countries. They also stopped rather early in the afternoon. The boat cruise of Valetta was exceptional.”
Take a same-day ferry to Gozo from Malta and ride hop-on hop-off buses with audio guide. Citadel in Victoria included. From $59.
“Absolute shambles. worst HOPO we ve been on. No one co ordinating at disembarkation of ferry. Finally found someone on red bus who checked our ticket via phone & told us to go on green bus. Got on it as instructed by lady outside green bus. Ticket issuer spoke very badly by telling us to get off & go to red bus for assistance. Finally same lady that sent us to green bus accepted our ticket this time. For some reason our paper ticket with QR code was not enough By this time we missed our bus. They got an additional one some 15 min later. The driver drove like…”
Malta 2-day hop-on hop-off bus plus harbour cruise, with flexible two non-consecutive days and routes to Valletta, Mdina, and the Three Cities.
“It's easy to explore the most important sights. But you have to be careful, as there are two providers on the island, so you can't take just any bus. You also have to pay attention to the signs, as the north route buses are not necessarily blue. Unfortunately, the audio guide provided does not work on every bus. They are not the newest. We took full advantage of the offer with a two-day bus tour and a harbor tour on the third day. (Tip: sit on the right side so that the explanations match what you are seeing.)”
