“Nice comfortable trip with lots to see and experience”
See Valletta, Fort St. Elmo, Fort St. Angelo, and the Three Cities from a comfortable catamaran cruise with flexible return options.
“The tour was nice, but the time was cut short. This was suppose to be a 2hr tour. The tour only lasted 1:15 minutes. This also included the time to driver took to pick up his child at another dock, that was not apart of the tour. The tour was not as noted in the description. It was nice seeing the three cities, but It should have been more detailed. It seems to have been rushed, to get the next load of tourist. Not happy with it.”
