Malta and Gozo SightSeeing Hop On, Hop Off
Malta
At a glance
The hop on, hop off tour concept has been a mainstay in many European cities for quite a while and MaltaSightSeeing were the first to introduce it in Malta and Gozo. While Malta's size should make it a relatively easy place to explore, public transport does not offer a practical way to visit Malta's main tourist attractions. The Malta and Gozo SightSeeing hop on, hop off service addresses this issue and offers a practical tour service linking all the popular places of interest on the Maltese islands. The buses are a mix of modern and retro double deckers with an open top... a feature that can be used for the 300 days of sunshine Malta gets every year.
Malta and Gozo SightSeeing tours currently offer four routes - the Malta North Route, Malta South Route, the Gozo Route and Malta by Night.

Each tour takes around three hours without leaving the bus but this would obviously defeat the tour's hop on, hop off concept and a normal tour can fill a whole day or more to explore Malta & Gozo's culture and heritage.
Each tour includes an audio commentary in 16 languages: Maltese, English, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Danish, Japanese, Russian, Hungarian, Dutch, Swedish, Chinese, Polish, Portuguese & Greek.
