Hop-on hop-off Gozo buses from Mgarr Harbor with 15 stops, open-top views, and multilingual audio for about a $26 day plan.
“Excellent way to get around Gozo on a day trip. Parked right outside the ferry terminal. Guided commentary is very clear and informative. All in all great day!”
Malta HOHO covers Valletta, Mdina, Three Cities and Blue Grotto with optional harbor cruise. Two routes, $33.
“this is a very good way to see a lot of the island.the only negative is the seating is very basic.could do with a bit better padding on the seats because it was very uncomfortable by the time we got off.”

“A fun filled informative morning with our guide Chris!”
A 2-hour guided walk through Mdina’s medieval walls and Rabat’s old quarter, with great local stories, easy pace, and headsets.
“Nadine was very knowledgeable with Mdina's history and was very lively during the tour! She was able to adjust to minor technical issues with grace, like a true professional :) I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mdina and Rabat for the first time.”
A 2.5-hour Valletta walk with a licensed guide, headsets for clear storytelling, and big sights like Barrakka Gardens and Grandmaster’s Palace area.
“Good introduction to Malta and the history of the country. The tour wasn’t too long and were able to see most of the important sites in Valletta.”
Hop on and off Gozo’s two bus loops for 1 day, with 11-language audio and stops like Victoria, Dwejra, and Ġgantija, at leisure.
“Public transit travel on Malta is notoriously slow, so the HOHO buses are a great way to see a lot in a relatively more efficient manner. However, the audio doesn't always work, and goes silent for long stretches of time. I recall there were at least 5-6 stops where there was no commentary at all. The buses were also incredibly packed, even in late April; would have been nice to have more frequent buses. That said, I still thought it was worth it, and still better than taking the local public buses, which are quite unreliable.”
Two-hour guided walk through Mdina and Rabat with headsets, covering the main sights in order, and finishing at St Paul’s Square.
“Excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide. Interesting and enjoyable. Really brought Mdina to life. Made Mdina far more engaging.”
3-hour Valletta walk with a licensed guide, Grand Harbour views, Knights-era landmarks, and free time for St. John’s Co-Cathedral.
“La guida persona eccellente, peccato che avevamo prenotato una visita in italiano che, comunque abbiamo fatto, uniti a un gruppo di francesi.”
Drive an electric car through Malta’s Three Cities with a GPS audio guide in 8 languages, plus harbour sights, forts, and museums.
“Enjoyed the self drive trip but a co pilot is preferred in my opinion as negotiating traffic and keeping track of GPS in an unfamiliar vehicle may be challenging if alone When we went off piste the owner contacted us to get back on track as he can see where you are at all times The second time we went off piste he came and physically directed us good natured around the last part of the adventure that was above and beyond So an excellent and responsible attitude towards his clients What was good you could stop when and where you wished to enjoy the area and take photos which…”
Walk Mdina’s walled streets at sunset on a small group tour with licensed guide Ani, including Game of Thrones film spots.
