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.

Great first visit for a Valletta trip - We chose Lizzie over bigger boats and it was the best decision. We start our trip to Malta with this tour and I highly recommend it to get an idea of the layout. Great explanations and lovely time spent on the boat.
