Top Tour agencys in Sliema, Malta

We were really looking forward tothis tour - it was a huge disappointment.
1. There is over an hour of driving around to pick people up from their hotel to start the tour.
2. On arrival in Gozo Hello Malta had 2 buses - both buses drove to the trackless train for the 40minute tour. It was raining and the trackless train is actually a “kids train” the type that would take you around an amusement park. So 2 bus load of tourist get loaded 4 to a seat ( we were like sardines all crammed together)and because it is light raining the plastic curtains are pulled down and zipped up - there is no ventilation in the wagons because of this. There are people coughing - not hygienic and no regard for our health safety. With covid / cold season around - we are squashed into carriages with no ventilation. Also because it’s raining and the plastic curtains are down no one can see anything or taking any photos. The trackless train does not stop anywhere. It does stop raining half way around the circuit - but the plastic blinds are not put up. This was an absolute waste of 40 minutes - all I saw was the back of the person in front.
We did raise this with our guide - on the day.
Next stop Dwemer Bay & the inland sea where we had 30 minutes to have a look around.
Next stop - a craft shop which really was a souvenir shop - 30 minutes to look around in one small shop. I was expecting to see crafts by - local artisans- not yo be.
Next stop the Ggantija Temples which was interesting.
We then arrive at Victoria at 3:45pm for a late lunch and are given to 5:10pm to have lunch and explore on our own. A late lunch is 2pm not 3:45pm
This was very late for lunch - and ruined our dinner plans.
We then got back on the ferry and as we were staying in Valletta we were one of the last to be dropped of at 7:45pm.
A very long day - a very disappointing day- and a very exhausting day.
I can not recommend this tour company - poor planning with respect to food breaks, poor concern for the welfare of its customers - who in their right mind packs 2 tour buses into a “trackless train” 4 to a seat - like sardines zips up the plastic windows so there is no ventilation in winter at the height of flu/ cold/ covid season.
Very disappointed.

Really, really bad, quite the worst company we have ever NOT toured with. We booked online got confirmation and turned up 15 mins before pick up time at the correct location. 20 minutes after pick up time, no sign of transport and no contact with us to let us know of delays. After no contact and no answer of e-mails or calls we decided to make alternative arrangements so our day wasn't totally wasted. We later offered to use the tour in Gozo as we were going there later in the week. This would save a refund a suitable offer we thought. But now 3 and 1/2 weeks later we are still waiting for a reply in any form Mobile, text, e-mail or pidgeon. We would heartily recommend not to use Hello Malta Tours.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden gewesen, wir haben die Karten bei einer sehr netten, deutsch-sprechenden Mitarbeiterin gekauft und sind auch gleich die Rote Tour an diesem Tag gefahren. Eigentlich wollten wir noch die Blaue Tour und die Hafen Rundfahrt machen. Leider bin ich krank geworden und mein Mann ist dann zur Mitarbeiterin hin und sie hat ihm das Restgeld wieder zurück erstattet.
Hätte sie nicht machen müssen, toller Service 👌

Die Supreme Power BOAT Tour ist nur zu empfehlen : Wer Schnelligkeit, gute Musik und Stimmung liebt, sollte unbedingt diese Tour machen. Die Tour kostet 50 euro und ist meiner Meinung nach echt jeden Cent wert. Auch der Captain ist klasse.
Achtung und ein wichtiger Tipp: Die blue Lagoon ist super überlaufen, selbst Mitte Oktober. Wir haben die Option mit Gozo gebucht. Das heißt, zuerst wurden alle Leute zur Blue Lagoon gebracht. Diese verbringen dort 4-5h, was extrem lange ist. Wir wurden dann in Gozo abgesetzt. Dort haben wir 2-3h verbracht. Gozo ist wunderbar und sehenswert. Dort unbedingt Victoria besuchen. Danach konnten wir mit der Fähre für 1,5h Stunden zur Blue Lagoon zurück fahren. Anschließend ging es mit dem Speedboot zurück. Die Fahrt war der Hammer!

Went on the power boat today to the blue lagoon 😄 great experience our captain Johnny was great and made it fun would recommend

Rip off! Paid 20 euros for a slow ride around the island and saw absolutely nothing. The only highlight was getting off at Mdena to the see the old town but than had to wAit for an hour next to a bunch of stinky horses in the heat for the bus to come back. Seriously the local bus is 1/10 of the price and comes more often. Poor communication as to what tout we were on. I had to beg for a map. They loaded the bus with too many tourists. Never again.

Stay out of this lazy tour!
First of all it took us with a bus for the boat with 90 minutes drive from hell.
After this we went to Sata Maira for 40 minutes, the ship stop on the rocks and very inconvenient to the beach, then for blue lagoon was the same so we come back early, we asked the manager for a refund, he said "we don't it".

bus was 30+ minutes late for pickup.
Boat was packed like sardines and had to sit on the floor so we didn’t even get to enjoy the views of the islands.

Do literally any other cruise, this should be avoided

Amazing! It's a must do in Malta especially if you are in Valletta for few days. You can get a package deal 24 / 48 hours or more. Must do to see it all in Malta. Hop on Hop off is much convenient than driving a rental

Oh boy, this trip, not good, you know? I pay 50 euros, and it's like throwing money away.

So, we supposed to start at 9 AM, but no, we wait on the boat in Sliema for 75 minutes! They no speak English, staff.

Then, they say 3 PM we go back to Sliema, but no! They drop us far away on the island. They say boat broke, but one guy, he say they got another tour. Big lie, really.

And then, they put us on some cheap bus, you know, "Hop On Hop Off," and we get back to Sliema so late, like 5:30 PM. Waste of 50 euros, big time! I'm so mad!

Dieser Tagesausflug von Sliema zur Blauen Lagune war ein absoluter Albtraum! Wir sollten um 9 Uhr starten, mussten jedoch quälende 75 Minuten auf dem Boot in Sliema verbringen, bis es endlich losging. Das Personal konnte kaum Englisch, und anstatt uns wie versprochen um 15 Uhr wieder in Sliema abzusetzen, wurden wir auf der anderen Seite der Insel abgeladen. Eine völlig erfundene technische Panne wurde als Ausrede benutzt, obwohl ein Mitarbeiter zugegeben hatte, dass sie eine weitere Tour geplant hatten. Das Ganze war ein absoluter Betrug!

Und als ob das nicht genug wäre, wurden wir dann auch noch mit einem billigen "Hop On Hop Off"-Bus über die Insel zurückgebracht. Wir kamen erst um 17:30 Uhr in Sliema an! Eine absolute Frechheit und völlige Zeitverschwendung!

Terrible, strongly recommend the other bus service run by Greyline. We bought 48 hr tickets. Went to a main stop to board Red line this morning (Sliema Ferries). Bus never showed up. Asked a kiosk guy selling bus tickets, said he got a text saying red line not running today - no notice put up at stop. We took blue line first day and were going to a site on red line today. We have lost €25 each, receiving no bus service today, had to take taxi. Buses overcrowded, not enough. Frustrated staff and clients swearing at each other on1st day (blue line), audio not working on 2 friends seats. Really awful.

My experience with the hop-on-hop-off bus was disappointing due to its complete lack of schedule adherence. My friend and I ended up waiting for over an hour till next bus, because drivers are not waiting till departure times, we were at stop 7 min before, and also next bus started about 7-8 min earlier.
UPDATE: Turns out, they have 2 books with different time for same bus stops, so be aware and ask for new book. For example Old book has Golden bay stop at 16:00, but new one 15:55

Worst day of my trip to Malta. Where do I even begin? It started with an incredibly chaotic boarding of the ship in Sliema. After waiting for more than half an hour in the sun we were told that the boat is full and we would have to take the bus to another city to get on another boat. It took another 30min! until the bus arrived (incredibly old and dirty bus with an open top second floor) which didn’t take us to Bugibba as promised but to Cirkewwa Bay. The whole bus trip with an open top old bus in the boiling sun, took us over an hour! After that it took another 30min until a small boat took us to Gozo, and from there to blue lagoon. So we were lied to multiple times and did not get the trip which we paid money for from Sliema directly to Blue Lagoon! The round trip was the same! We lost multiple hours because of bad planing and had to spend most of the day in the boiling sun on some old dirty bus! NEVER AGAIN!

Very bad experience we book a night tour starting at 1950 the bus pick up us with 1 hour late after 2050 so we hurry to do the tour and we have waited like more than one hour standed up …. We asked for a compensation the company don’t care …. They just want money they don’t care of customers …

Die Hinfahrt verlief unkompliziert und hat echt Spaß gemacht.
Auf der Website stand allerdings, dass man einen Aufenthalt von 4 Stunden bei der blauen Lagune hat. Es waren letzten Endes allerdings 6 Stunden! Unserer Meinung nach viel zu lang. Die blaue Lagune war extrem überfüllt, es gibt keine Schattenplätze und nur sehr begrenzte Möglichkeiten, sich Schirme und Liegen zu mieten (15 €). Schlussendlich mussten wir uns inmitten der spitzigen Felsen in die pralle Sonne legen. Für persönliche Gegenstände gibt es Spinde für 5 bis 12 € zu mieten während man badet.
Auf der Insel Comino kann man eigentlich nicht wirklich etwas sehen, wir sind bestimmt 3 oder 4 Stunden nur rumgesessen und haben uns gelangweilt. Die Aussicht auf das Meer ist aber wirklich wunderschön und definitiv eine Reise wert. Hierfür würde aber ein Aufenhalt von 2 bis 3 Stunden völlig ausreichen.
Im Gegensatz zur Hinfahrt war die Rückfahrt unangenehm. Die Musik auf dem Boot war so extrem laut, dass uns die Ohren weh taten, da wir direkt neben den Lautsprechern saßen.
Insgesamt nicht wirklich zu empfehlen für den Preis.

I woke up a bit to late on 14th and realized I didn't book a tour for 15th. Started to search on Get your Guide but everything was already Sold out (15th of August is a national bank holiday). Than I found Hello Malta boat tour to Comino Blue Lagoon for 25 euro. Price very affordable. I didn't think long and I booked for 2 persons. After that I started to check Google. I found terrible reviews (calling Hello Malta really bad).
I went for this tour without any expectations. I just wanted them to take me to Blue Lagoon and back. I went to choosen pick up point in Front of MC in Sliema. The boat Supreme Cruises was already there. At 10:10 we departed from Port. 11:30 we arrived to Blue Lagoon. We got free time till 15:45. And 16:30 we reached the port in Bugibba where the busses were waiting for us. At 17:17 we arrived to Sliema. Busses are dated but for 30 mins way was OK.
Not according to description: boat is not anchored to Blue Lagoon but it's all the time on the way with new groups. Be careful about your color bracelet. Crew was OK. It was enough seats on boat for everyone. On the lower deck volume system not working correctly. During cruising they switch off air con. It's working only during embarkation and disembarkaion. Do not leave ur things on the boat. Blue Lagoon overcrowded. It's good to see it but I will not come back. Generally we were a bit jealous about the people who had their boat docked to Blue Lagoon because they had access to seat down, to the boats bar etc. It's very difficult to find space in Blue Lagoon even to leave your clothes during swimming. That's why price is cheap.

The Malta South hop on hop off bus tour is an exceptional way to explore the southern part of the island. The tour offers a comprehensive route that covers all the major attractions and landmarks, including the Blue Grotto, Tarxien Temples, and Marsaxlokk fishing village.

The buses are comfortable, air-conditioned, and equipped with audio guides that provide informative commentary in different languages. The frequency of the buses is also high, which means that you don't have to wait long for the next one to arrive.

What sets this tour apart is the flexibility it offers. With the hop on hop off feature, you can get off the bus at any of the stops and explore the area at your own pace before getting back on the next bus. This allows you to create your own itinerary and spend as much time as you want at each attraction.

Overall, I highly recommend the Malta South hop on hop off bus tour for anyone looking for an easy and convenient way to discover the southern part of Malta.

Wir haben jeweils eine Tour durch Süden und später durch Norden gemacht. Man muss gleich früh die erste Fahrt (im stündlich. Intervall) nehmen, wenn man unterwegs aussteigen und besichtigen mag, der jeweils letzte Zustieg ist am Nachmittag.
Uns persönlich hat die Südtour besser gefallen, im Norden doch teils sehr windig im ersten Stock des Bus. Dennoch beide Touren recht lehrreich. Sollte man machen.

Bad service, we spent all day waiting for busses and the ferry to Gozo. We booked online and got instructed to wait at Ross bus station for the transfer to the boat. We waited 1,5 hour to figure out the transfer left from a side road nearby without us. We didn't know what bus to look for but it appeared to be a Supreme travel bus. They managed to put us on another transfer bus but we lost so many time that we couldn't really hop off from the malta sightseeing bus. The busses on gozo weren't following any schedule and were full. And it was not even peak season. We sent our feedback by mail but got no response. Would advise to travel with small group or hire a car to explore malta and gozo.

Do not buy this service, just horrible, hours waiting for the bus that disappeared and did not come. Full bus, had to take a van, the driver didn't know what he was doing. bus broke down in the middle of the street. No security at all, bus was completely packed. simply the worst service I have ever seen.

Very nice experience with the two harbours day cruise. Friendly and polite, this tour is strongly recommended

I did the hop on hop off bus tour on one of my first days in Malta. I booked to have transport from a nearby hotel at 8:50am and still the bus had not shown by 9:10 so I called. I was informed the pick up point had changed to Sliema Ferries because there was a marathon that day and they were unable to get to my chosen pick up point. Sliema Ferries wasn’t much further but this delay caused me to miss the 9am bus and I had to wait for the next one at 10am and therefore had to skip hopping off at one of the stops. Has this change been communicated to me beforehand I could have just been at Sliema Ferries for 9am.

Otherwise the tour was good. The route is good and you get headphones for an audio guide.

Very popular Way to see Malta get a 48hr ticket so you see the north side one day and then the south side the next. The 2 harbor tour of Valletta can be included but it doesn't go on Sunday.Its a full day on both tour's so you can hop on and off at various places. The Slema promenade stop is the most popular and busy ,so be ready for up to an hour wait if the Bus is full.Cost €40 for 2day pass And harbor tour.

Did not have a great experience and hope most other people have a better time! First of all, the buses are dirty and dusty and you can hardly look through the windows, the drivers drive like maniacs, seats are uncomfortable, audio guide was not working and all 5 drivers and ticket controllers were rude and super unmotivated. The blue route is also too long and since it’s a city sightseeing tour, all the beaches could easily be cut out. A real shame for the price. It was not worth it.

Awesome experience!! First stop was the Santa Maria caves. Since the power boat is small, we were able to go in the caves, very cool! Next we stopped at the blue Lagoon to drop a couple passengers off(they were not continuing on to Gozo) and then made our way to Gozo. Before arriving, the captain explained our options, public transport, taxi or the hop on hop off double decker bus(10EU). We chose the bus to Victoria (main city) with a quick stop first to view the harbour and blue Lagoon from a scenic view point. BUT you can do whatever you like when you arrive at Gozo. Of course within the time limit explained by the captain.
From Gozo we took the blue ferry boat back to the Blue Lagoon where we had 1.5hrs to soak in the sun and magnificent blue waters(it was very busy but that should be expected).
Our original powerboat captain then picked us all up there and proceeded to our starting point(Sliema). The great experience did not end there! Our captain actually dropped us off in Valletta instead(we were staying in Valletta), before returning to the starting point at Sliema. Bonus!

Plenty reviews stated a lot of communication problems. I can understand that. We had the ticket salesperson explain to us several times what we could expect and the captain explained, more than once, how the timeline and transfers would work. Everything worked out the way it was explained. 🙂
We saved lots of travel time to Comino and Gozo because of the speedboat. 👍

A suggestion for the owners or Crew, a communication solution would be written out instructions of the pickups and stops. There are many different languages being spoken and a lot is going on. This could make things a bit overwhelming for people which could be contributing to the perception of lack of communication. People also need to ask pay attention and ask questions.

Overall is was a great a experience! We would recommend this option if you want to experience the Blue Lagoon and Gozo, only want to take half a day and are comfortable doing your own thing.

Cheers!

Super great way to see the country! There are three different lines. The optimal way is to take one line per day. Because some objects require few hours . One line - 25€, two lines - 40€. The tickets you can buy in the special tourists spots or by the bus.

I really enjoyed this tour. I did the North Loop one day, and then the South Loop another day. There is so much history to see in Malta 🇲🇹 and I wish 🤞 that I had more time to dig deeper. I really only scratched the surface. It is well worth it! Bring the kids...
