Beautiful way to see the city. A must! - We were looking for this cruise company but in the end went on a shorter 30 min cruise for 1 €10 per person. Small motor boat. It was a beautiful sunny day. We cruised around the harbour taking in the three cities. It was lovely way to see the gorgeous buildings facing the harbour and the lovely yachts and boats. There were just 6 passengers but the family got off as they were just crossing so we had the vessel to ourselves. 30mins was fine to take it all in. Can do a longer ride. We caught the boat next to the fast ferry stop. It’s a must for a trip to Valletta!

Two Harbour Cruise - Amazing trip of the harbours. The commentary, in English, was really informative pointing out all the places of interest and their history. The crew were courteous and attentive and the whole excursion was excellent value for money. Highly recommended 👌

Nice family outing - The tour was at a good pace, informative and comfortable. We did the 1 1/2 hour tour and that was enough time for us.

Excellent - Arrived just as the boat was about to leave due to shocking traffic but was allowed on board. Went up stairs where lots of seats so not overcrowded! Lovely day for a harbour cruise and the commentary was in English and easy to understand and quite informative! Enjoyed it very much but did scrap the back of my leg on the narrow stairs on the way off! Would recommend!

Great Tour On The Water - We thoroughly enjoyed this harbour cruise. It has an extensive commentary and covered a lot in the timeframe on the water. The boat was clean and comfortable and we loved sitting up top and enjoying the view of all the surrounding areas. We had a perfect view of the Valletta skyline! It was a great way to see the sights from a different perspective. Highly recommended to take this cruise with this local family-run business.

Better than expected - I was on a cruise and Valletta was one of the ports we stopped at . We didn’t have a lot of time . The ferry was convenient and close . To our surprise the ferry gave a great historic description of Valletta . The crew was friendly and ferry was comfy.

Very pleasant time out - Very pleasant cruise that allowed us to have an overview of Valletta and the 3 cities. Too bad we can't have very rare French translations in Malta.
