Valletta Tours of the City
Another recommended boat tour is the Blue Grotto. You can do this part-independently by driving to Wied iz-Zurrieq, 8km (5 miles) west of Valletta, but the actual tour (25 minutes) is organised by the local fishermen and is strictly controlled.
Malta Sightseeing (tel: 2169 4967; website www.maltasightseeing.com) offers a hop-on hop-off bus service with one route covering the north of the island and the other covering the south; pay on board. The same company also offers 'Vintage Bus Sightseeing Tours of the Three Cities' through Supreme Travel (tel: 2169 4967; website: www.supremecoaches.com). All buses depart from Sliema Ferries.
Coach tours of the island are of the whistle-stop package tour variety and are not recommended.
