Malta Shore Excursion: HOHO Bus & optional Harbour Cruise

No matter when your cruise ship arrives in Malta, this is the perfect do-it-yourself shore excursion. Discover Malta’s top attractions on this City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off tour, which provides full commentary and a comfortable, secure environment. Malta boasts more than 7,000 years of history and is brimming with attractions and places of interest. See it all on two routes through Valletta that include sights like the Mosta Church and Dome, Ta'Qali Craft Village, Rabat and many Roman sites.

To make your Malta experience perfect, we’ve included a Harbour Cruise, taking you around the harbour in Valletta with its spectacular military fortifications, hopping off to visit the Esplora Interactive Science Museum (admission not included).
