Best of · OPEN-TOP BUS TOURS IN MALTA
Every trip has one spare morning too few. These 4 open-top bus tours in Malta justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Use a restored classic Maltese bus as your day transport between Valletta, Sliema, Mdina, and Rabat. There is no formal guide or commentary, so you explore independently. Wednesday and Friday routes serve these cities, while Sunday service runs between Valletta and Marsaxlokk.
“great activity and makes you feel like a time traveller.”
Ride a vintage 36-seat Maltese bus through Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto, Siġġiewi, Dingli Cliffs and Mdina. Your English-speaking driver-guide, often Daniel or Caroline, shares Malta’s story, while food and drinks are included. The Blue Grotto boat trip costs extra and depends on weather.
“We had a great day. The bus was so much fun and had great air conditioning! 🤣 Communication in the run up was great. The tour was a good pace with just the right amount of information. Highly recommended.”
Take a restored Maltese vintage bus from near Valletta’s Triton Fountain to Marsaxlokk’s Sunday market. Your full-day ticket covers pickup and return transport, not a guide or entry fees. Expect a characterful ride, clear English instructions, and free time by the harbor.
“Drive was very punctual and funny. The guide is also very helpful and gives very clear instruction. Highly recommend this hustle free vintage bus to Marsaxlokk instead of the local bus.”
Meet David at Sliema Ferries for a 90-minute ride on a 1928 wooden-bodied bus. You’ll pass Valletta, Cospicua, Vittoriosa, Senglea, and nearby towns while hearing English commentary on Malta’s Great Sieges, with time for photos and a short break.
“This was a brilliant journey through the 3 cities. our driver Dave was an excellent guide very helpful. would highly recommend this tour”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
