A must to see Valletta from the sea - A very nice boat with comfortable seats. The explanations in German and English were perfect. There was enough time to enjoy everything

Grand Harbor Tour / St. John's Co-Cathedral - We visited St. John's Co-Cathedral. Amazing. Walked across Malta and took the Sliema ferry to Sliema. In the afternoon we took the Grand Harbor Tour with Captain Morgan's boat. Another amazing tour. Took a cab back to the ship for 8 euro rather than the ferry and walking.

Nice tour of the harbors surrounding Malta - Excellent overall view of Malta from the water. English ability by your operator was average…difficult to understand at times.

Harbours’ Tour - Splendid views of the harbour and Grand Harbour with informative commentary, although sometimes a little difficult to hear/ understand. A pre-recorded commentary might be better. However, overall, good value for money and worth experiencing.

Great views - What a great way to see Valletta, Sliema and the Three Cities from the water. Views you can’t get any other way.,

Great tour but light on commentary - The boat booking and onboarding processes were very efficient and the boat well equipped and comfortable. The tour certainly went all around the harbour and various creeks and in terms of areas explored offered very good value. The only downside was the commentary which was fairly infrequent and not too informative.

Disappointed - Really nice and modern boat but could not hear the audio guide. We were sitting downstairs and asked for the volume to be turned up but they could not and so we could hardly hear the guide. It could be better upstairs but we sat downstairs as it was cool.

You have beautiful photo opportunities - The harbor tour was appropriate, although the German explanations were difficult to understand. The announced harbor areas were visited.

Wonderful views but a poor experience in other respects. - Very disappointing. It’s hard to see how they can have made such a poor job of this wonderful tour. The views are really spectacular and these harbours are full of interesting history, so what can go wrong? The English commentary was really poor, delivered in a monotonous, dreary voice and in an accent that most of our group of 30 intelligent English tourists couldn’t understand. Those who spoke German said that it was better! Most people turned off completely so I can’t comment on the content delivered but we didn’t come back with much interesting background or history. The red two deck catamaran is too big to do this job and so a large portion of people have to sit in seats that don’t afford a clear view or make it easy to take photos, especially as some passengers often stood up to take their own photos blocking the view of those in inner seats. If you get a good view from side seats ok but I can’t recommend this cruise if you want to learn any history. It’s clearly a very popular and commercially successful trip but this sort of “industrial tourism” is not giving a good service.

Not the best - Captain was on his mobile whilst stirring the boat, couldn't hear a word of the commentators and a German passenger was very rude. Not the best
