Only 10 min in Xlendi Bay. Other than that, great! - I really enjoyed this day. The deckchairs on the top of the boat were all taken by the time I boarded, but this didn't matter as it was a very long hot day and I was glad for the shade on the main deck. The Blue Lagoon at Comino was beautiful. It's a VERY small and crowded beach. If I had been there with a group or with children it might have been a bit annoying as there is literally no space on the beach for the amount of people that go there, but since I was on my own I just left my bag on a rock (there are also lockers available, or you can leave things on the boat if you prefer) and went for a long relaxing swim. Visiting the Citadel in Rabat/Victoria was the highlight of the day for me. The weather was extremely hot but there was enough time to take a slow walk up to the citadel and have a good look around, then explore the city centre for a bit afterwards. I would have liked a bit more time in Xlendi Bay. The itinerary here gives the wrong impression - we stopped there on the way to the city, not afterwards, and only stayed there 10 minutes, not 30. We parked at a lookout point and the driver literally said "You've got 10 minutes, take a picture". There wasn't time to walk down to the promenade. It felt a bit pointless going there at all really. That was the only downside of the tour. The boat staff were really lovely. Great playlist, Kevin!

Perfect Day Trip - This was a fantastic day for my friends and I. The views were amazing and well worth the money! The staff on board were all polite and friendly, with food and drinks being really reasonable in price. We would definitely recommend spending the extra money and taking the speedboat tour as that was also a really fun experience with knowledgeable guides.

Wandering Comino isle........ - It's worth visiting Comino with its stunning Blue Lagoon and Crystal lagoon. The sea water is completely turquoise and still where you can swim and do snorkeling as well

Amazing trip - Amazing trip, definitely recommend the additional speed boat trip and coach service into Gozo. Staff were amazing throughout. Slide into the blue lagoon was fun. Very good day out. Turn up early if you would like a top deck lounger as these go very quickly.

Take the plunge - When you get on the boat seems quite packed but as soon as you start off this seemed to fall away. The crew were helpful, even replenishing toilet roll!. The stops at each place were just the right length of time Make sure you have everything in an easily carried bag, because you will be taking it everywhere

Blue lagoon lovely, speed boat ride a must. Gozo bus tranfer dissapointing - Blue lagoon lovely, speed boat ride a must. Gozo bus tranfer dissapointing. The boat had no designated seating! & some people felt entitled to a seat after leaving it for 30 plus minutes Other tour boats were less crowded which made them look much more comfortable (would pay extra for that)

Very beautiful scenery, but totally overcrowded - We booked a boat tour with Iseemalta. Cozo was great, so the tour of Victoria was very interesting. However, the tour with the additional bus ride cost €42 instead of €30. And it was really just the bus ride, no explanations or other directions. The trip to the Blue Lagoon was more of a disappointment. The Blue Lagoon is really beautiful, but totally overcrowded. €25 for 2 parasols is just a rip-off. But we wanted to keep an eye on our things and there was no other place and we only had a 2-hour stay. It would be better to take a separate boat and then walk to another beach if you have more time.
