Ok cruise
The cruise itself was nice but it was very annoying that they had a guide in Russian that spoke in a VERY loud speaker. The guide in English was very pleasant to listen to but the Russian one was awful!
N
Really interesting tour.
Really good tour taking in the two harbours. Lots of interesting fscts and photo ops. Commentary was inciteful as to the history of the harbours and Malta
F
Excellent cruise, very informative commentary
We had a nearly empty boat, which meant t was easy to move around to get good vantaage points. The cruise was very well paced, covered all the main areas around Valletta and the three cities!, and was accompanied by an excellent commentary. Highly recommended
J
Don't waste your time.
Zero interaction between crew and passengers. Didn't even share that there was a snack bar on thr boat, which would have been extremely helpful in the heat. Save your time and find a different tour.
