Blue route
This route’s a sunshine-soaked loop of Gozo’s ancient wonders, red-gold beaches, hilltop towns, and fishing villages. Start in Victoria and glide to Marsalforn’s seaside charm, stroll Ggantija’s 5,500-year-old temples, sink your toes into Ramla’s red sands, admire Nadur’s quiet beauty, then wrap it up with sea views back at Mgarr.
Popular stops: Marsalforn, Ggantija Temples & Ramla
Purple route
This Gozo route is all about countryside charm, quirky villages, clifftop churches, and dramatic coastal views. The bus zips from Mgarr’s harbour charm to Xewkija’s giant church, through crafts at Savina, cliffs at Dwejra, shrine stops at Ta’ Pinu, and ends with a stop at Xlendi.
Popular stops: Ta'Pinu, Xlendi, Dwejra
The bus trip was great and covered every important part of Gozo. Only criticism is guide system and earphones never worked for us and others agreed.
Bus was fairly punctual. Driver negotiated the narrow streets very well. Gozo is a beautiful island and there is much to see. The ten minute stop at the Shrine is a good idea - just long enough to get off and take a few photos. Maybe this could be done in other places, too.
The buses are easy to find and stop very close to the sites to be visited. There are lovely views of the countryside and villages. The driver was also good at advising travellers on whether or not they had time to do the tour, so as to be back in time for the ferry. On both itineraries, having taken the 1st bus of the day, we were only able to visit Dwejra, Marsalforn, Ramla and Victoria due to lack of time, so you have to choose carefully what you really want to see. As for the audio commentaries, I can't judge as the system didn't work at our seat. We just enjoyed it with our eyes! A good experience.

The essentials of Gozo but not enough time to do everything in a day. too bad.we can't stop at every point... some deserve less than 45 minutes, others more.the choices are not easy to make. very friendly drivers and Bravo for the tight passages!!!

Easy to use with friendly, helpful driver.
the cars were very old, so not every audioguide was working properly! and the informations were very poor
Very kind and professional drjvers
Decided to cancel the trip altogether. Bus was full and took off. Not prepared to wait another half hour so decided to get a private driver.
I found that the drivers were not friendly and I would have presumed working in a tourist role that a positive attitude and friendly disposition was a pre-requisite for employment !
Great sites on Gozo.
Very informative and all the right places. Need to be a little more clear about the pickup point in Marlfarson
I paid 60€ for nothing since the ticket collection points were closed at 3:30pm! And the driver didn't want to help us! Lame, I'll never do it again!

Our last bus from marsalafaron didn't came
Good choice of routes to see some lovely villages. The trip wasn't rushed and there was plenty of time to photograph interesting places
Stay in the bus for the 1st tour and then see where we would like to stop on the second round. Comments in our mother's tongue.

It was a comprehensive tour along the north route on the island of Malta. I wasn't sure whether to do it or not, but it was 100% worth it. Get ready for a long trip (over 3 hours and à half, without hopping off...). I would recommend to do the first 2-3 days upon arrival to have a good overview.
The Polish ersion of the audio guide is unfortunately unprofessional. Both the text and the narrator who reads the text, who is confused every now and then. In addition, the text is often read at the wrong time - it tells about something we can't see at the time... Unfortunately, the buses were not always on schedule due to traffic jams. I missed information about the real time of arrival of the bus at the stops - maybe it would be possible to do this in the app? It would make planning a tour easier for tourists.
Too long distance for a Hop on Hop off / not enough buses (frequently) / only one direction of the buses
The bus tour was adjusted to an overview of Malta
The Explanations were very rare and we had often half an hour with just nothing. Often we did not know in which village or City we were. No explanations. Twice that the honey came from a special bee from the Island. We had better Tour with Sight Seeing that you offer in other countries. Sorry. This was just a waste of time.
Too long, no connection, 3.5 hours of not hearing anything, too full and for the price! An imposition!

Clear bus, flexible, arrived in Time. Very interesting places and views.
First of all, the paper bus timetable we received from the driver had incorrect bus stop times, the correct times were listed online. One of the drivers was 20 minutes late arriving. On the way back to the original bus stop, we had to almost beg the driver to take us back to where he picked us up at the beginning, with very unclear communication from him.
Very bad seats in bus and very, very poor audioguide. Feel robbed
Lovely staff, good itinerary and all on time However, it was very disappointing that we only got told we needed to exchange our mobile QR code 'ticket' for a physical ticket once we had purchased the tour. As we were staying in an independent apartment 1.5 hours away from Valletta and had no printing facilities, we had to get a service bus to Valletta and start the tour from there. This should have been made very clear from the start. Not everyone stays in a hotel or nearby the ticket validation points
A convenient way of seeing some of the famous sights and being able to get off and see Mdina. The problem is that there are no timetables at the stops and the drivers are not very friendly.
It was quite interesting and including a lot of important areas. Great way to get an idea where to go!
